That Christmas feeling is brought to C. P. by the Student Council. Student Council officers examining the student parking lot are: Nancy lams, treas.; Pat Hickey, sec.; Eston Perry, pres, and Dave McMichael, veep. Student Council Spring not only brings forth May flowers, but also Student Council elections. The candi¬ dates for office write and present their speeches before the student body. Several political tricks such as posting signs in the hall or passing out hand bills to students are used in this cam¬ paign. The students register their votes on a real voting machine. This gives the voter an opportunity to learn and practice the correct voting procedures. The elected officers and home room repre¬ sentatives meet at the beginning of the school term and make plans for the projects of the year. The first project this year was a handbook published by the ’52-’53 Council. The main project of the year was the new school park¬ ing lot which was successfully carried out with the help and cooperation of school and civic clubs. Annual projects for the Student Council are the Christmas decorations and the Good School Citizenship” poster contest. The Council sells potato chips in the halls during the noon hour and ice cream bars at the home basketball games. The Council sponsored a Friday night dance. The funds raised from their many proj¬ ects were used for a trip to be taken by the Council members at the end of the year and for leaving a gift to the school. Page twenty-eight
