The Student Council, as its name implies, is an organiza- tion that represents the student body. The Council is composed of two pupils from each homeroom: the 12-A June class having 6 members because of its larger homeroom membership. There is also a representative from each club with a class A charter. This November a new method was experimented with for electing the Council's officers. A mock election was held, with the students from the 10-B through the 12-A particip- ating. The officers elected were: President, Fred Rehahn: Vice President, Arlene Behnke, and Secretary-Treasurer, Ruth Wilde. The primary function of the Student Council is to see that the students, whom they represent, have their requests taken to the meetings, and settled in a judicious and unbiased manner.

The Shamrock is Out is a familiar cry heard in the homerooms of the East Detroit High School on the second and fourth Friday of each month. This newsy journalistic endeavor, edited by Mildred Bolle under the supervision of Mrs. Nina Moran, is the pride and joy of the student body whose destinies are more or less guided by the wise advice of that true sage of life Uncle Willie, which is only one of the many features contained in what has been termed as mimeographed news at its best, MUNITURS First Row: Marion Rehahn--Secretary and Treasurer, Opal Cameron, Vir- ginia Kreger, Herbert Grueber--Vice President, Donna Thomas, Marion Deady, Arlene Behnke--President.

We are here to serve is the motto of the Monitor's Club, first organized in 1931 under the very careful guidance of Mrs. Ren-a Van Fleet. Recognized immediately by their ser- ious attention to work, these servants of the corridors render the students of the school a very worth-while service. The chief aims of this organization are: to cooperate with members of the faculty in maintaining order in the corridors: to keep the halls clear during classes and noon hours: to apprehend those who feel the urge to leave the buildingf' to receive visitors and make them feel at home. Each monitor must be recommended by three faculty mem- bers and after being admitted to membership must maintain a C scholastic average. Graduating seniors who have been monitors in good standing for two semesters receive a pin as a reward for their service.

Gaily bedecked in green and white capes, the members of the Ushers' Club form one of the school's most active service clubs. Organized in 1938 this group in the short span of three years has made itself an indispensable unit of the East Detroit High School. This has been made possible by a very cooperative group of students working under the close supervision of Sponsor Mrs. Rena Van Fleet and Head Usher Jack Landon. At any movie, play, dance, basketball game, wrestling meet, assembly, or pep meeting, the ushers are always on the job helping to make your visit more enjoyable. Members of the Ushers' Club must maintain a C average in their school studies in order to keep active membership.

As its name implies, the Library Club is composed of a group of students working in the library under the com- petent guidance of Mrs. Eva Hudgins, school librarian. The aim of this club is to serve the faculty and the student body by assisting them in locating books, maps and various other sources of reference material. In doing this type of work the members gain actual experience in the routine work necessary for maintaining a systematic, well-organized library. The student body of East Detroit High School should be very appreciative of this group of students who work so that your work will be made easier for you. DEBATE TEAM First Row: Helen Shokaluk, Meryl Smalstig, Ruth Wilde, William Ryan, Ralph Scott, Mr. George Moroz Coach. The East Detroit debaters started their season with bril- liant victories over Roseville and Melvindale, and the debate squad looked forward to a successful season. However, they suffered a setback at the hands of a strong South Lake High School team in their next debate, and dropped the final de- bate to Ann Arbor High School when a consolation decision was cast by the judge in favor of Ann Arbor. The brunt of the Shamrock debating was carried on by the veterans Ruth Wilde, Bill Ryan and Ralph Scott. A new-comer to debating, Helen Shokaluk, participated in two scheduled matches, and her work was invaluable in the first two vic- tories. Ruth Wilde, Ralph Scott, and Helen Shokaluk will be lost to the squad by virtue of graduation which leaves Bill Ryan as the only veteran debater around whom to build next year's squad.
