STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, sponsorer of many profit making and non-profit making activities, has given us this year the most challenging project ever undertaken, and this is Brigitte Gourmel from Pau, France, our first foreign exchange student at Effingham High School. Council members are now making plans to send an EHS student to Europe. This project will take a large sum of money, and council members are working toward this goal. The District Student Council convention was held in Effingham this year. Beverly Tilley, a junior, was elected recording secretary with her adequate slogan, l may be small, but I'm on the ball. The Student Council meets every Thursday morning in the community room with Mr. Swinger, the sponsor. Lynne Luttrell, president, presides over the meeting. All meetings are opened with the Student Council members repeating the Student Council oath which is: l, as a chosen representative of my class, promise to represent that class to the best of my abilityg to uphold and further the traditions of Effingham High School, to give my wholehearted support to the constitution of the Student Council and the things for which it stands. I will at all times keep the interests of the school as a whole at heart as well as my class, and I shall not let my selfish desire enter into any decision I make. All in all, I will keep the aims of the school and my class in my mind, and I will do my best to further the interests of Effingham High School, Many topics such as SOS fSe11 our Servicesj Day, Career Day, Dress Up Day, and the Homecoming Dance are discussed, Glenda Marshall, vice president, gives the list of workers to sell concessions at the next game.
