U65 general, anizafion This year marks the third anniversary of the Frederick E. Bellows High School General Organization. Amid the campaign speeches, cheers and jeers of the student body the officers were elected the last week of May, 1939 under the new amendment to the constitution. The powers of the General Organization over school finances have been greatly enlarged. The organization not only handles all allowances for school organizations but also compensates referees, umpires and linesmen at school athletic events. The activity of the organization does not stop here, however. It has brought about definite improvement in corridor conditions by pro- viding for the Traffic Guides that we so respectfully pass in the hall as they direct traffic between bells. Several dances and a very successful bridge party have been sponsored by the General Organization for the benefit of the Student Handbook and The Student Observer. The General Organization, or the council, consists of twenty-five members in all with twenty students and five faculty members. How- ever, these people are merely the representatives of every student in the Iunior and Senior High School, and it is through these representa- tives that the organization is able to promote school spirit, cooperation and understanding between the students and the faculty , which is the purpose of the organization as stated in the constitution. Due to the splendid guidance and support of our new superin- tendent, as well as that of every faculty member of the General Organization, it has enjoyed perhaps the most successful year of its existence. ln March of 1938 the hopes of a small group of Seniors materialized into the first General Organization of the school. The second year found the G. O. a fixed part of the school life. And in this, its third year, the group has attained recognition throughout the school as an important factor in the smooth functioning of student activities.

Many experiments are performed and new methods discussed and carefully studied. The camera fiends have recorded interesting and amusing shots of school life that frequently surprise the students. The club project for this year is the formation of a photo-year book containing photographs made by the members of the club. Here the experimental and the aesthetic are combined with the abstract and theoretical. Students participating enjoy the satisfaction of thinking translated into action, developing their creative ability. uniofz from Under the efficient direction of Miss Mary Monson, the Iunior Red Cross has accomplished many worth while projects. In November its representatives collected a considerable sum as Iunior and Senior High home rooms responded to the Red Cross Call. The annual White Christmas was successfully carried out with many needy fam- ilies in this community receiving baskets of food. In addition, a supply of children's clothing was collected and distributed, and less fortunate pupils in the Kentucky Mountains were sent fiction and textbooks no longer needed in this school. As its concluding activity, the organiz- ation has' encouraged individual home room proiects: such as, making place cards, and collecting medicine bottles and magazines. m
