The sale of these tickets was led hy President Don Comhs and Vice- President ,lim Dougherty. Reductions in the price of the tickets were given to those participating in certain sports or activities. Another hig joh the Student Council tackled was to revise the constitution. The constitution now is completely up to date, including the exact duties, purposes and functions of this vital organization. The Student Council purchased an adding machine, type- writer, mimeographing machine, and a movie camera. These machines make the organization self-sustaining and may he used hy airy class or other organizations. We are grateful not only to the President and Vice-Presr dent, hut also to Secretary Pat Burgett and Treasurer Ritter Smith, who, with the four representatives from each class who compose the group, made this year's G. O. a success hy henc- fitting the student hody in every way possible. The memhers of this organization feel that they could not have reached their goals if it hadn't heen for the advice and aid of their advisor, Mr. James O'Neill. 19 BALDWIN HIE SCHOOL fl C10 Katt' Go-A , 1 . -ar., 1 741614, f,'. p- in an-Jngl I' .
