ADMINISTRATION I I YYhile Ray Kyes gives his opinion of the pep meeting, Frank Clare waits for a turn at the mike . The Student Council East High School is one of the few schools which has student government. This power is invested in the Student Council composed of representatives from every section in school and guided by Nliss OINeil, the adviser. Judging from the old adage 'iNothing is greater than what is accomplished , we can not help but think well of this body. for it has accomplished much in directing and improving our school. lt is the practice of every Student Council to bring special programs to the student body. 'llhis year they were able to secure many talented artists, who supplied us with entertaining programs. iVIany of the things we take for granted such as traffic regulations, Open Houses, and Student Days are due to the untiring efforts of the various committees of this body. The unusual pep programs sponsored by the Student Council encouraged our teams. This Council bought new sweaters for the cheer-leaders who are a great asset to both the games and pep meetings. A Clean-up-Campaign was launched and carried through. Bulletins and posters made the students 'idirt conscious and the school changed considerably in appearance. NVitli this important organization we are truly carrying out the American ideal of self-government. 1 Ray Kyes, Betty Hallgren, Bill King and Arlie Par- ker discuss the Clean-Up- Campaign to be presented to the school.
