The Student Council of Joplin High School was organized in the fall term of 1928. It is made up of thirty-four members, each one being the represen- tative of his home room. Both the president and the secretary of this organiza- tion are elected by the student body at the beginning of each semester. The nominations for these two oifices are made by the faculty and the nominees must have a high scholastic standing. The other officers are elected by the Council. The president must be a member of the senior class. Regular meet- ings are held every Monday morning. The Council is an advisory body for the students and helps the school by promoting good citizenship, making regulations for classes, students and organizations. Before the regulations passed by the society become official, they must be approved by the principal. Much of the success of the Student Council is due to the splendid leadership and co-operation of the two sponsors, Miss lone Elliot and Miss Phebe Griffith. il I . t ll , ll , ' X 'V 1 Twtllly-two U THE iC?Pl.lM0 1932 EB T i p V iqiiliiil l QW, i .,,. , f'.f::1llIllf:.Q, . ,,- Q- A 4'

PRINCIPAL OF HIGH SCHOOL We have gradually awakened to the fact that true culture cannot be sepa- rated from one's pursuit. The task of the school is not complete until each of its pupils is successfully and happily at Work in some life vocation. ln view of this, every effort has been made to make training definitely vocational. Many new courses of study have been added to make education practical. The future must see the school more and more adjusting its training to the needs of the local community, thereby enriching and beautifying the life of all the people. We have sought to make school life not only a preparation for richer living, but a part of real life in which the pupil will live normally, acquiring a real life experience in citi- zenship. Thus we have sought to round out the individual pupil into complete manhood and womanhood. . H. E. BLAINE. Principal of Joplin H. S. H. E. BLAINE. A. B.. A. M.

Much valuable work was accomplished by the Student Council in 1931-32. It assisted materially in the sale of activity tickets at the beginning of the year. selling a large per cent of the number sold in the entire school. The sale of used books at mid-year was handled, for the first time this year by the Council. They, thereby aided the librarian very much and added quite a substantial sum to the Student Council treasury. All the Christmas decorations at the high school were planned, provided, and arranged by this group. It also beautilied the campus by planting and replacing shrubs around the building. The Council sponsored the organiza- tion known as the Pep Club which functioned at all pep assemblies and all football and basketball games. Members of the Council aided in cleaning up the school and setting an excellent example of good school-citizenship for the rest of the students. The Lost and Found Bureau was managed by the Council. -r THE JOPLIMO 1932 Zum-Tp A
