The Council was reorganized in September this year with a membership consisting of the presidents of all classes and clubs, excluding musical clubs, and elected representatives from the classes, two from each of the upper classes and one apiece from the lower clas- ses. lts purpose is to promote school spirit, scholarship and athletics. Every school ac- tivity has received a strong backing from the Council, and much has been done for the welfare of students along the lines of safeguarding personal property. Committees chosen by this organization have been responsible for the chapels-those that we were able to have-the mass meetings and the assemblies. Another duty of the Council was to organise a checking room system, which would stop the thieving that the crowded condition of the wardrobes made possible. After several attempts it was proved that this system would not work, so hall patrolling was found to be a necessity to keep the halls quiet during the fourth and fifth hours, and to see what people go into the cloak rooms. This was done by the pupils with the exception of some men teachers who super- vised the halls during the noon hours. The second term began with a big program before the Council. Committees were picked to ask the Board of Education for a printing press, in order that all school printing could be done with less cost, and to introduce printing as a subjectg to have the supervi- sion of the study hours in the hands of studentsg to put on a carnival to raise money for an athletic field: to furnish a room in which the societies and Council could meet and to name the editorial staff of the News. It was also proposed to put on a large student party and a banquet for Honor Students, which includes those pupils who have done very good work in their studies, those who have been active in school affairs, and the K men. The officers for the first semester of this year were: james Wise, President: Edith McQuigg, Vice-President: james McLaughlin, second Vice-Presidentg and Florence Mar- tin, Secretary. The second semester's officers were: William Bennett, President: james Mc- Laughlin, Vice-Presidentg Frederick Shillito, second Vice-President: and Florence Martin, Secretary. fllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHUIHHillI1lllIlIIlIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHHNlllllNIllIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHHWIHHNNNIN14H!HIIIIIIIIIIIITIIIIIIHUHNNNIllNNNHH1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIWHHIHHHNH11lHHIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHHNNH1IlHIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITIT HIE Page Seventeen

A. Fisher Right and wrong are in the nature of things. They are not words and phrases: they are in the nature of things and if you transgreas the laws laid down, imposed by the nature of things, depend upon it, you will pay the penalty.-John Morley. The above quotation from John Morley is par- ticularly applicable at the present time. The most important single thing in life is character. Every day one spends in High School, he is building char- acter. Student days should be busy, happy, honest days-the basis of a life one would be proud to look back on. Nothing that is mean or little or unwhole- some should find a place in the lives of our students. Central High School has a heritage of fine tra- ditions in character and scholarship. Our teachers and students are doing well to uphold these traditions.
