15' 5 -gf.. :fi , Q. .,- . ,ii 'X if To the Classes of 1935 This is the tirst graduating class which entered school as Freshmen under the present principal. We are theretore in a sense contemporaries at Bowen. l wish to take this opportunity to thank you tor the time civic service many ot you have given to the school and especially to congratulate you on the opportunities tor civic training which you have enjoyed and ot which you have made use during your tour year course. Cne instrument tor this training, it has been especially my ambition to see develop at Bowen. That is the Bowen Student Board. Student Councils ot several types exist in Chicago high schools and have existed tor many years. There is the type which is made up ot students selected by the teach- ing statt on the basis ot personal choice based on general good conduct, service, scholarship or outstanding personality, There is the type ot Student Board chosen quite democratically by the student body on the basis ot popularity alone. Then as to function, some Student Boards exist only to put on assemblies, conduct drives tor various school purposes such as ticket sales, attendance at games, boosting school athletic teams and the like. The Student Board at Bowen, under the genial leadership ot Mr. Collins, is much more democratic than the tirst type I referred to in its method ot election. Bowen students either in Student Organizations or in divisions or groups ot divisions elect the representatives who in turn elect their own otticers.. The objective ot the Bowen Student Board is to make the Student body a real power in the conduct ot the school. That, too, is my own obiective. Toward this end great strides have already been taken during the last year and a halt and notably this year. I think ot this as perhaps the greatest contribution which the classes ot 1935 have made toward the building ot a tiner stronger Bowen. I 'I Nine
