Hunter, faculty adviser carried out successfully all legislative powers vested in them during the 1950-51 school term. The lower house led by the vice-president of the student body, Sam Gibson, was composed of one representative from each homeroom and their faculty adviser, Mrs. Clara Harrison. Representatives from both upper and lower houses were chosen from time to time through- out the year to attend conventions. Max Wil- liams, attended the National Student Council Congress in Denver, Colorado, in the summer of 1950, and our school was honored when he was chosen to speak on a discussion panel and to lead an interest group at the Southern Association Congress in Oklahoma City. Therefore the student council served as the connecting link between the students and faculty of H.P.H.S., provided a high school spirit, and made the school year of 1950-51 one of the best High Point High has ever known.
