Student Council Government of the people, by the people, and for the people, the epi- tome of democracy, is the criterion of Hamburg High School. Modeling the school system after the federal government, the students elect repre- sentatives to the council. This organization sponsored by Mr. Simmons, determines the form of government vital to the welfare of the school. A few of the many successful activities of the Student Council are the sponsoring of social hours, charting of attendance records, and the organizing of a monitor system. Thus, through student participation, a highly democratic form of government has been established in Hamburg High School. 21

Gradually the students become adjusted. ln the Junior Council they receive their first taste of self-government, and twice a year hold student elections to determine their leaders for the coming semester. This training in the council and other branches of the student government helps in creating the spirit of self-reli- ance and independent thought which are the aims of this junior high faculty. 20

Home Room Mothers The Senior Homeroom Moth- ers, of whom Mrs. Alfred B. Tall- man is chairman, plan and assist in carrying out the many social functions of Hamburg High School. They preside at the Sophomore Hop, the Junior Prom, the Senior Picnic, and climax their activities by decorat- ing the auditorium for Commence- ment. These mothers, each repre- senting her homeroom, meet with Mr. Simmons, the principal, at least once each month and dis- cuss, in conjunction with interest- ed teachers, the ever changing plan and phases of school work. Taken as a group, the Senior Home Room Mothers play an im- portant part in school activities.

This year Dr. Hartwell's interesting talks presented the problems con- fronting the students and suggest- ed methods of improving the con- ditions which create them. This organization has helped pupils by costuming plays, holding dances, and presenting educational mov- ies. For these and many other in- tangible aids, Hamburg High School is indebted.
