The nt coun- amily at l clothes, XVith the opening of second semester came also the reorganization of the Student Council. Not only were new representatives from each homeroom chosen but also new +T- officers were elected. Rick Stone was chosen president in an election held previously to the meetings in which he and his two opponents, Larry Gregg, first vice-president, and Carolyn Davison, second vice-president, gave campaign speeches in assembly. The remaining officers were chosen by the council. The main objectives of the group were to further action of obtaining a foreign exchange student, to stress the neces- sity for more school spirit, and to step up relations among students. Under Rick's strong leadership, the council made gross headway on each of these ideals. They started a campaign to collect money and provide a home for an American Field ' ' Service student. School spirit was boosted by more mixers, assemblies, and overall support of school affairs. Better re- lations were noticeable in the co-operation students exerted to make East a top-notch school. As in any organization, however, a stable advisory is the foremost basis of success. Truly, Miss Virginia McClure and Mr. Mervel P, Lunn, co-sponsors, did their part in lead- ing the Student Council in the right direction.
