Q, l SlUDElll 6UVEIlllllIEIll HPI work of the l938-39 Student Council which elected Harvey Tomlinson president, Barbara Chapman vice-president, Virginia Buehl secretary, and Anne Swallow, treasurer, consisted of many important, but unsung tasks. However, under the able mediation of Mr. Lanks, faculty advisor, the Council undertook a large project, that of educating the students to the advantages of democracy, both as a national government and as a student government. A panel discussion led by Miss VVright was held in the assembly on the subject, Is Democracy worth-while and practicable in this school? The topic excited a great deal of interest among the students and made them feel a greater awareness of and a closer relationship to the problems and duties of the Student Council. lhe RED and BLUE HIE Red and Blue staff during the school year 1938-39 published ten hi-weekly issues of the Red and Blur, the oflicial newspaper of Jenkintown High School. The editor-in-chief of the paper was Barbara Chapman and the associated editor, Doris Goodfriend. It was the ,aim of the staff, which was guided by Mr. Headley, to give the students a regular publication which would carry the important news of the school and news of special interest to the students. 'llhat the staff succeeded in its purpose was evident from the increased interest of the student body in the school newspaper. The students not only praised the Rerl and Blue for its interesting articles and last minute news, but also used the newspaper as a means of expressing publicly their own opinions about school problems. Thus, the Rfrl and Bluff has become more closely connected with school life, and school problems, and is in reality the oflicial organ for student expression. Thirtyscven
