To answer that questron we must travel one step further to the Legtslatrve Branch of the government the Student Councrl The Student Councll conslsts of seven members nommated by the upperclassmen and selected by all the members of the Vxllage The first term council was made up of Luke Kellam Cleve Fuessenrch jerry Sellon Edward Barry Martm Mttchell Beman Dawes The second term councrl however had three junrors and only four Semors they were Martm Mttchell Luke Kellam Cleve Fuessenrch Peter Mogtelnrckr Beman Dawes Matt Trerney and Sandy Frsher It IS the duty of the Student Councrl to make the laws of the Vrllage and to make certarn that all the appornted ofhcers are domg thetr duttes The Coun cnl must appomt all monrtors and ofhcers of the Court and Vrllage The Council 15 assrsted rn advlsory man ner by Mr Johnson who also tnforms them of the ad mrnrstratron s vtews on varlous subjects It rs to these boys that we all owe our prarse They work hard trylng to make our school a better place rn whrch to ltve and learn Z . , . . , J . . l H . , . . , . , n u - Y 1 ' ' s , . . -. . . . . z , . , u 1 , - y - Q , n , . and Matt Tlerneyg that rs, five Senlors and two juntors. . , , s I .
