STUDENT COUNCIL The student council is composed of the officers of the student body, one representa- tive from each class and organization in the school, one faculty advisor, and the prin- cipal. The officers are the regular student hixly officers and are elected each spring at a general election in which the whole school participates. The aim of the council is to cooperate with the faculty in the management of student affairs, and to promote a better association between the students and the faculty. To give more time to the council for the transaction of business, the plan of a floating period was devised, through which the council meets every Wednesday on successive periods. Some of the projects undertaken this year were the erection of a student box, the building of a new bulletin board, the revision of the constitution, and the bringing of assembly programs to the students at no cost.

Later in the month the members of the club went to Denver to attend the Rocky Mountain Speech Conference, where they listened to university debates. As a fitting climax for this year's activities the club went to the twenty-seventh annual speech meet at Boulder. There they received honorable mention with a rating of good.
