 Student Gouncd - « The students of Brush High School try to develop their school on democratic principles. They believe in cooperation between pupils and teachers in solving common problems. To achieve this purpose the student council was formed where the students could express their suggestions and opinions. The council members were students of high scholastic standing who gave considerable thought to the duties of their office to which they were elected. They realised the responsibilities which were equal or greater than the honor and privileges of the office. Among the many activities of the student council this year were: the drafting of an amendment to the constitution providing for the better handling of athletic funds, directing school campaigns, student elections, scholarship and attendance improvements, promotion of better manners and conduct, safety activities, lost and found facilities, student participation through the student voice box and other similar activities of general interest and value to the school. .C ikk.

The members of both are chosen after careful consideration by the teachers, who grade the students on such characteristics as scholarship, leadership, character, school citizenship, and service. The initiation is held at the end of each school year and to the new members it is quite an honor. Although the societies have not been too active in the past, they are hoping for new plans for an active year from the two sponsors; Mrs. Atkinson, the Senior Sponsor, and Mr Schweers, the Junior Sponsor.

A stunt which was well received this year was presented during the half of the Fort Morgan-Brush game. Following a short drill formation, the squad formed a “V. The girls were carrying red. white, and blue megaphones. At a signal air raid wardens rushed in and announced a black-out. When the lights were turned on again, the girls were seated and a T was formed by the megaphones. Because of war restrictions the Pep Club uniform this year has consisted of a maroon skirt and a white blouse. It is our en- deavor, however, to Increase our fund for the purchase of sweaters after the final victory is won.
