ST HE T BIQIIJY UF II H5 The student body has been organized since l936. The purpose of having the student coun- cil to direct many of the school activities dur- ing the year is to give real experience in self-government and the use of the machinery of a democracy. The officers of t'zc student council are elected by the student body. With these officers the elected heads of all import- ant student organizations form the council which act on such matters as spending student monies for football lights, for expenses of STUDENT BODY OFFICERS CUHS representatives at conferences, for dec- TOP ROW. Memo Thorp Betty Hansard orations at student body dances, for athletic BOTTOM ROW: George Trout, Duane Collier trips, and other related expenditures. This body provides nominees from which its successors are elected to hold office during the following year. Last year a new organization was organized, the Student Court of Appeal. This organization consists of four students, President of Girls' League, President of Honor Society, President of Boys' Club, and President of the Student Body and two faculty members. This Court is for the benefit of any student who might have cut. He may plead his case before the Court of Appeal and be judged accordingly. Under the sponsorship of the student council about four noon dances were given each quarter. The most exciting and important event of the year was the installation of the football lights. With the help of the CUHS boys, Floyd Park had the lights up in time for the first football game of the season. There could be found nowhere a prouder student body. All the dances, parties, and activities led to a rich and full year. lt is hoped the year following will be a year of even greater attainment. COURT OF APPEALS LEFT TO RlGHT STANDING: M. Segal, H.

ST DENT ST DE T BIIIIY ln previous years the CUHS student body has striven to better the school itself and to have more activities. T948 was a bigger and better year to remember. At the beginning of the school year, nineteen hund- red and forty-seven, the student body officers were sworn in as follows: George Trout, President, Duane Collier, Vice-president, Melba Jeanne Tharp, Secretary, and Betty Lou Hansard, Treasurer. Betty Lou took the place of Richard Soares, as he was in the hospital and was not able to attend school this year. The officers led the student body through a year of colorful activity. As the new year goes into session, yell leaders must be elected to lead the student body through a success- ful year of sports.

GIRLS' LEAGUE This organization which included all the girls in school enjoyed an active year. In addition to the reg- ular money-making project, pie-selling, car stickers and doughnuts were sold. The Hi-links party was quite a success. At this strictly stag affair, Levis and bright shirts were worn. The girls had fun participating in relay games and saw some movies lthe latter were interrupted by a broken fire alarm.l Cider and doughnuts were served. The spring was heralded with a Mother and Daught- er's Reception where a program was presented by RUTH MYER members ot the League for their mothers and teachers. President A great deal of interest in the point system this year was shown by the large number of points turned in. Most of the girls tried to earn a small letter. Pointswere given tor appearances with the band, selling pies, serving on committees, and almost all other extra-curricular activities. The most important reason for keeping a record ot the points earned is the tact thata cup is given at each graduation to the girl with the most points in the Girls' League. The officers this year were: President, Ruth Myer, Vice-President, Doris Milleson, Secretary-Treasurer, Lu- anne Kent, Point Keeper, La Vern Thiel. LEFT TO RIGHT: L. Kent, R. Myer, D. Milleson, L.
