On December 4, 1956, the Student Council held its regular meeting. During the absence of the sponsor, Mr. Pinkerton, Miss Couch was the visiting substitute sponsor.
Miss Couch informed the Council that the dance to be held one night each week has been okayed by the committee which met with her, and that the results of the committee had been submitted to the Dean for approval.
Ross Poteet made and Peggy Joice seconded the motion that the weekly dance be held each Wednesday night beginning on December 12 at the Snack Bar for Texarkana College students who may bring one guest and must show their activity card.
Miss Couch also asked the advice of the Council on having a party in the Girls Lounge for all students from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. on the day school is out for the College. The Council agreed that it would be a good idea to invite the boys as well as the girls. The party will be held on December 14.
The Council discussed improvements for the new recreational room in the new building, such as a better juke box and the removal of the TV from the recreation room.
The meeting was then adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Pat Cunningham, Sec’y.
