Promoting self-government and exciting interest in school problems are the chief aims of the student council. By means of the regular meetings which have been held on Mondays during the entire school term, this organization has proved itself active and competent. Many arduous and serious matters have been discussed and solved by the council. Lyceum numbers, auditorium programs, an activity ticket sale, and a point system figure among its projects. The most out- standing and successful work of the year, however, was the council's acting as host to the Northwest Federation of Student Councils at the second annual meeting here in October. At that time, representatives from the junior and senior high schools of Minnesota, Wfisconsin, North Dakota, and South Dakota convened in the local high school auditorium. For the purpose of entertaining the visitors and helping them to become better acquainted with one another, the council gave a banquet and dance at the Maryland Hotel. Principal F. J. Herda has acted as adviser of the group since its or- ganization four years ago. Officers of the council for this year have been: Hans Lillevik, president, Lloyd Erickson, vice president, Aaron Fadden, secretary, and Ruth Jensen, treasurer. Other members have been: seniors, Max Howe, Elva Pilversack, and Robert Costello, juniors, Alice Thompson, Marion Gustafson, Gertrude Langpap, and Freeland Stevens, sophomores, Eileen Hubbell, Frances Griffith, Oscar Gustafson, and Wfilbur Schackel.
