STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council this year has given us more and better assemblies than ever before. The series of very interesting speakers on a variety of subjects which were selected last year by the Council, has been received with great enthu- siasm by the students. The Council and Red Cross Club were generously sup- ported by the student body in their work of supplying many Christmas baskets with food and turkeys for needy families. By selling candy and ice cream at the football games and by sponsoring a dance during the February vacation, the Council kept the treasury supplied with funds. Besides these activities, the Council in its regular meetings carried on dis- cussions upon problems concerning the school and the students and attempted to find solutions. The officers for the year were: Mr. Higginbottom, Advisor ; Mary Carraher, President; Bill Mannix, Vice President ; Ruth Daniels, Secretary. f 14 }

RIDING CLUB The Challedon Riding Club is one of the many active clubs in the Belmont High School. The club consists of about twenty regular riders. This group rides every Tuesday afternoon and meets every Wednesday noon during utility period for a business meeting. They also study the parts of the horse and its equip- ment. The members of the club have had felts made for their jackets and later some of the members hope to have club pins. The club has been guest of and host to the Watertown Riding Club and have had very enjoyable associations with them. In the spring the club is going to put on a horse show for the student body. 03
