SLJLCTILLJLJILILIJ L:J f Eh? Sztnhrnt Qlnunril Nineteen Twenty-Two has ushered in the second form of student government in the history of Scott High School. Eight years ago-or maybe nine-when Scott was first built and classes held for the first time, the students thought the time an ideal one for beginning and instituting some form of student government. Plans were drawn up and various things were accomplished under the idea. There was but one objection to it and that was that it was suggested and mainly carried through by the faculty. Although the students were very much in favor of it and took the greater part in the carrying out of the letter of the constitution or charter from which the organization derived its power nevertheless there was a noticeable lack of interest on the part of the student body as a whole. This was no doubt the chief reason for the failure of the student council of the first two years of Scott's existence. This year things were different. Leaders of the school had contemplated a student council for some time and through the Thistle, Scott's monthly pub- lication, the idea was brought before the eyes of the faculty and the students. From then on things progressed rapidly. A meeting of the representatives of different organizations of the school was called by Mr. Demorest and at that meeting a committee of five persons was chosen to investigate student government in other schools in the country. This committee was composed of Richard Mealand, chairman, Betty Harsch, Spencer Reeder, Lucius Hunt and Leslie Henry. From the answers received' to their letters this committee constructed a charter upon which to work and presented it to the representative committee for revision, modification, and approval. It was then submitted to Mr. Demorest for further approval. Finally the whole student body was asked for its opinion and the charter then went into effect. It was planned that an election of officers of the Student Council should be held this year for, although it was evident that the Council would have little to do during the remaining months, it was thought that organization would do much to instill the Council idea in the minds of the students and faculty. However, at this writing the charter is just being submitted to the students for approval, and hence no action has yet been taken on election. Next year it is planned that election shall be neld during the third Week of school and it seems obvious that Scott and Scott spirit will be many times better than at present. The purpose of the Council as interpreted in the charter is to promote and enliven student interest and school spirit in Scott High School, to afford an opportunity for a greater measure of student control in student affairs, to main- tain a sentiment of propriety, and to promote the general welfare of the schoolf, A The Student Council holds in its hands the future of the Jessup W. Scott High School! RICHARD MEALAND 18
