U-- ' ' ' ' ' ' A fruity'-' -.---.-- The Student Council At the close of its ninth year of ambitious and successful achievement, the Student Council has proven itself beyond a doubt an able and worthwhile organization upon which Central looks with pride and gratitude. Pride, for its splendid work and gratitude, for its capable leadership. The council was organized by Mr. Charles Fisher, the former principal, and under the guidance of Principal W. F. Head this year has done admirably to uphold the ideals of high scholarship and school spirit which have always been the aim of the council. One of the first big things the council did this year was to bring to the High School auditorium 'AThe Black Pirate, a film greatly in demand and judged very praiseworthy in which the popular actor, Douglas Fairbanks, was starred. The pic- ture was received so favorably that the council was encouraged to do even bigger things. The result was the Spring Carnival. For many years Central has given. no carnivals, but seizing time by the forelock, this progressive group made sweeping plans andcarried the idea to the limit. Clubs and homerooms were given individual booths or shows and each did its own planning and executing, under the guidance of a committee. Careful co-operation excluded repetitions and too strong competition, and results were amazingly successful. The termination of a popularity contest held the week before the carnival formed a part of the evening's entertainment, when the winners, Lorraine Boekeloo and Charles Meade, were crowned. Good eats and dancing completed the work of breaking down the tradition of bad luck which presumably follows black cats and Friday the thir- teenth, for that was the date of this event, which will long be held dear as a memory of a gloriously good time. Even such a huge undertaking as this was not considered sufficient reason to justify the existence of the Student Council for its activities occupied the whole year. The usual business of hall supervision was carried out even more strictly than ever before, and conduct in the corridors became almost blameless. Boosting school activities and interests were not the least of the council's many ambitious undertakings and social affairs were put on from time to time. The officers of the council have proved to be of exceptional ability and it is through their co-operation with the other members and all students that a very suc- cessful and eventful year has been terminated. The officers for the first semester were Malcolm Mackay, president, Harold Green, vice-president, John Howard, secretary, and LeRoy Klose, treasurer. The second semester Lorraine Boekeloo was elected president, Lawrence Becht, vice-presidentg Charles Wise, secretary-treasurer. BL c , -ia f..::.ax-:az ,:.z,.:.1.,s.,.' .1 .av Q 1.24 .z,z...: ,7 ?.'.
