The hands that held the Whip for this year's El Burro Staff were attached to the arms of efficient Libby Warner and Tom Welch to whom the successful publication of the '48 El Burro can largely be attrib- uted. Tom and Libby, always ready with either a gentle reminder or a prodding poke, were ever on their toes to keep their staff ahead of deadlines.

Mounting, pasting, typing, and proofreading were ably done by this year's capable staff. To our co-editors and staff the Senior Class shouts a big thank you for the ,48 EL BURRO.

The student council is very important at Burroughs High School. By holding office many students become aware of the prob- lems of government and each officer has a chance through his student leadership to see his ideas put into action. Because of the many problems and activities at Burroughs, leaders of the highest type are required and our oflicers this year have proved to be ex- ceptionally competent as directors of stu- dent affairs. The top-ranking job of president was carried through by Jim Shortt. Working with him were Joe Law as vice-president, Mary Alice Reeves as secretary, and Bob Hestand as treasurer. Although these officers were outstanding, their accomplishments would have been few without the able assist- ance of the class representatives who com- prised the remainder of the council. Assisting the group as faculty advisor, Mr. Westcott did a fine job in helping the members become acquainted with school problems and solutions to these problems. Aside from its governing activities, the student council sponsors m a n y of the school's organizations. Among these groups are the Y-Teens, Hi-Y, Pep Club, G.A.A., and many others. As of this past year, our governing group is now a member of the California Associa- tion of Student Councils. Members of the group attended two meetings this year where plans were made for student council activities in the future. Page Fifty-one
