A TRIBUTE TO THE TEACHERS OF JOHNSTOWN HIGH SCHOOL We. the Class of 1938. wish to pay tribute to our teachers. Perhaps we forget just what our teachers means to us as we go along day by day: but. as we look back, we can begin to appreciate them. Our teachers have dedicated their lives to serve humanity. They have spent many years in preDaration for their contribution to the world. Our teachers have sacrificed their personal happiness to a qreat extent so that they might help us in preparation for life. They have the deeper satis- faction of knowing that in their hands lies our future and that thev can watch and help us develop. We often do not realize what patience and faith our teachers must have. Many of us would have shirked in our duties if they had not kept us from doing so. They have been our sympathetic and under- standing friends and counsellors in time of need. Have we realized that manv of our high ideals and ambitions which we have we owe to our teachers? Perhaps some teacher has inspired us to help others as they do. They are not only our instructors, guides in the preparation for our future work: but also our friends. We students often forget that our teachers are just as human as we are, but still we know that out of the classroom they are individuals who often help us to enjoy our leisure time. Our teachers are representatives of life of which we know nothinq or little. They realize what we must go through and prepare us. Best of all. we are thankful that our teachers help us to think for ourselves. We shall be better prepared for our future if we can do this. We learn in school much knowledge which will be useless unless we use our ability to apply that knowledge. It is our aim to become the men and women of the world of whom our teachers will be proud. We shall think of them always as bearing the torch of knowledge which lights the pathway of the future. May we in turn carry on the torch they have intrusted to our care? Marjory Stewart S % s

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, sponsored by Mr. Raymond Morgan, is composed of members elected by the home rooms. Each home room may elect one repre- sentative and one alternate, who substitutes, when necessary, for the repre- sentative. A good representative, cither a junior or a senior possesses quali- ties of leadership, has plenty of vitality, and does at least fair school work The officers elected this year to help the Council through its active pro- grams were John Richards, president: Charles Hipp and Jane Hager, vice- presidents; Ethel Kring, secretary: and Donald Moran, treasurer. The meetings, held during activity period Tuesday mornings, were very interesting. Problems and activities which seem to contribute something to our school were discussed. Banners were awarded each report period to the home room excelling in scholarship and attendance. Home room proqrams, dealing with scholastic and social problems of students were outlined for the members who were urged to present them in home rooms. Printed and dis- tributed to members were bulletins to be posted in home rooms on current school problms. A contact committee looked aftr the school needs of those who are unable to attend school for a week or more; it also sent bereavement cards when a student's parent died. For the convenience of students, street car tokens were sold each morning, under the direction of the Council treasurer. Enthusiastic members each year conduct a clean-up campaign too. Stu- dent interest reaches a new high in the Popularity Contests. The most popu- lar boy and girl, the best looking boy and girl, the boy and girl possessing the most pleasing smile, and the brightest boy and girl are chosen. A conference of all the Student Councils of other schools in Johnstown and surrounding districts was a new project worked out this year. Dancing in the Gym each Thursday noon for five cents a person was sponsored, the proceeds being given for the purchase of a new flag.
