The Student Council played an important part in the lives of the iunior high students as shown by the many activities it carries out through the school year. Starting the year was the P. T. A. membership drive, which combined the eltorts ofthe iunior and senior high councils. Work- ing together, they made it a success. The members of the Council, with representatives from other junior highs, attended the iunior high Student Council Convention, held at West Junior High School. The purpose of this meeting was to exchange ideas on improvement of their local councils. Two of the highlights on the program of the Council were Recognition Day, which awarded certificates to those who have achieved honors in clubs, homerooms, and school service, and E Day, which awarded pins to students who had earned enough points throughout the year. Among its other proiects were the sponsoring of several dances, the Community Chest Campaign, the magazine drive, and organizing the Junior High Speech Festival. A highlight of the year in the Council's activities was Orienta- tion Day. The future seventh grade students from the area schools were shown through East, giving them a chance to get acquainted with the school and its program. Officers of this year's Council included Arden Abraham, President: Ed Martini, Vice4President: Judy Moore, Secretary: and Clinton Bruess, Treasurer. They led the Council through a success- ful year with the help of Mr. Goerz and Mr. Fayling, advisers. Not only does the Student Council give the iunior high students experience in participating in a large variety of activities and projects, but it prepares them for future years at East.

Th Helm ROW i: Lin Eckman, Secretary. ROW 2: Don lvloerhing, President: Ron Johnson, Vice-President. ROW 3: Pete Bo- man, Treasurer. The Senior High Student Council has had a busy year carrying out many activities and protects. The officers, Don Moerhing, President: Ron Johnson, Vice- President, Lin Eckman, Secretary: and Pete Boman, Treasurer, were at the helm steering the Council Through i955-56. The ad- visers were Mr. Bittner and Mr. Williams. The first project, sponsored by the Council was the annual P. T. A. membership drive. Among other protects completed during the year were the magazine drive, the Community Chest Campaign, and promoting the Brotherhood Week and Safe Driving Week Assemblies. The Council also set up executive and eligibility com- mittees to choose Junior Rotarian candidates. Red and Gray Day, highlighting the basketball season, was held on January 27. The alay's activities included the Coronation assembly and dance which followed the game. Much hard work in preparation for Red and Gray Day made it very successful. The Minnesota Association of Student Councils' Convention, held early in the year, in l-libbing, was attended by Don Moerhing and Bill Sibley. Tim Burgess, our foreign exchange student from England, also attended, and got an idea of how student govern- ments were organized and run in the United States. Many new ideas were obtained from the convention. The Council hopes to effectively use these ideas through the year and pass them on for use in Student Councils of future years.
