Word Puzzle in Houour of the Exec

Word Puzzle in Houour of the Exec.

In each of the five group of words the first and third letter reading downward give the surnames of two (or three, as specified) members of the new Students Executive. The President (elected earlier) has been omitted to make things fit, but he reappears accidentally in 53 down. All the groups of Exec, member are sexually segregated except one. I have used one or two trick clues, such as puns or two definitions in one, but no 36 across. For another general hint see 16.
