STUDENT COUNCIL RECEIVES NATIONAL RECOGNITION IN '49 . ,. . U e . , .. ' ' if sf' 'ix - I o wt X. J 0 l '. ' . k Q 0 IT'S THE SPRING BANQUET- This gala affair is enioyed each year by both the old and new board members. Here seated, from left to right, are Bob Christensen, Lindsay Christlieb, Joyce Tyson, Barbara Proshek, Dagmar Wagner, Louise Weigt, Charles Grose, Mrs. Ruth Eddy, Joyce Christesen, Pat Carlson, David Briggs, August Haugan, Ken Larson, Pat MacDonald, Barbara Biornstad, Diane Grove, and Eleanor Tyson. The outlook which the school of today holds on school discipline is entirely different from the principles of a century ago. The rule and hickory stick, the stool and dunce cap have been replaced by student interest in management. Student Council has taken on new sig- nificance this year. For the first time at Murray, stu- dent participation played a maior role in the school's government. Under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Eddy, adviser, and Charles Grose, president, an experiment in student government was undertaken. Study halls were efficiently managed by the pupils, lunchrooms were made pleasant by luke-box music every Friday, and an entertaining assembly schedule was planned. The first two duties which this organization performs every year are the formulation of the activities' calen- dar and the assignment of seats for auditorium pro- Page fifty-four grams. Through the March of Dimes, the Community Chest, and the Christmas Seals, Murray students con- tribute to the welfare of the community. The Council handles these drives through assemblies and homeroom collections. This year presented another first for the Murray Student Council as it was admitted to the National Federation of Student Councils, from which it has re- ceived a charter. Delegates assisted in the formation of a constitution at the first annual state Student Council meeeting. The Murray group was elected vice president of its district. All this activity has met with great interest on the part of the pupils. The newly elected Student Council officers are looking forward to more student participa- tion in the year to come.

President Charles Grose has endeavored this year to make homeroom representatives, as well as board members, conscious of the need of selling student self- government to everyone. In this he has succeeded to an extent that the entire group and its adviser, Mrs. Ruth Eddy, can be proud of the Student Council leading the 7- ' ' -f .cj 7 way-toward! unifying school principlesr 5During 'the statek convention -of Student ,CouncilS, Murray's members hobsea out-bfftown delegates as theirigxrests.

This year the Student Council moved the Lost and Found to the ticket window. Here daily S. C. members are on duty giving service to fellow classmates. Operating the window at this moment is Delores Ro- senquist. A grateful individual is Raymond Lotz as he gets his lost pen. Waiting to ask, Did you find a blue wool scart? is Mary Ann Gruber. f fi, Sf' C11 Everyone in the nation is familiar with Christmas Seals, and Murray students look forward each year to see what the new design may be. That probably ac- counts tor the excellent contribution made by school members as the Student Council conducted the drive. While representatives did the selling during home- room periods, S. C. members who were responsible for the organization of the drive were David Briggs and Carolyn Acton. Page fifty-five
