Johnson Clark Couplaml Miller Dunning Woodbury Student Administration The projects of the Student Council this year have been many. The chief aim was to promote social and school spirit by co-operating with all organizations and backing their activities. The Council has complete charge of the club room, the direct supervi- sion being in the hands of the com- missioners. Elizabeth Thomson and Phyllis Michael. These girls keep a calendar of events so that permission to use the room must be secured from them. In this manner conflicting dates are avoided. The club room, in itself a work of the Student Coun- cil. was made possible by the gifts of various school clubs and organizations, while the school board gave its aid by remodeling the room. Perhaps the most important part of the Council work is the reserve system. Each semester a large num- ber of reserv es are elected from the advisory groups, five from Senior groups, four from Junior, three from Sophomore and one from each Fresh- man division. In direct charge of these monitors are the Council librar- ians who check the reserves and supply substitutes if any arc absent. The judiciary power of this system is v ested in a court composed of three- council members, the president and two others who fill the positions of judge, clerk and prosecuting attorney. All sentences passed by this body art- signed by the adviser. Over sixty school flags were sold to Ottumwa merchants to be dis- played on days of special school ac- tivities. These are red and white with the words Ottumwa High School lettered across them. By running a check room on nights of basketball games or other activities, the Council defrays its own expenses. Because of this fact, it was possible to send four members. John Dunning, Elizabeth Thomson. Maxine Menefce and William Cram- blit to the High School Leadership conference at Ames. The Council wishes to thank the students for their cooperation in this check room enter- prise. Among the minor duties of this organization are the maintaining of order in the cafeteria, and the work of ushering and acting as guides on Open House Night. TWENTY-1 WO

Mary Alien Catherine Coate Kosaman Stone Robert Murine Mrs. Thompson Doretta Buck Mrs. Parker Mabel Pcnnock Cafeteria Pood! Now. there is a word which gives everyone a bit of a twinge and a thrill along the spinal column Food! At eleven forty-five one hears great commotion and general excite- ment throughout the halls and class- rooms; simultaneously, there are fifteen hundred voices which utter Food, and three thousand feet which start in the direction of dinner. Some two hundred and fifty students turn daily to the cafeteria where Mrs. Thompson wields a mighty soup ladle. For seven years she has been doing this, and for only four days of that time has she been absent. We asked her to tell us of some of her problems; and what tales she gave us. Come, you two hundred and fifty eaters, answer these. What are salt shakers for. anyway? And pepper shakers, too1 Why. for the salt and pepper, you emphatically inform me. But VIrs. Thompson says that some two hundred and forty-nine of you sec no reason why the tables should not be salted and the floors peppered; and there is a problem in patience for the entire cafeteria force. Then answer me this one. Mashed potatoes are to be eaten. Yes. we all agree. But what about the artistic soul who not so long ago, moulded potatos on the table, framed them in salt -and left two eyes, a nose and a mouth of a perfect portrait for Mrs. Thompson to clear away. Here is a situation we should like explained. We can hear much noise and powerful roarings from almost all of you at almost any time and place. Often we hear you talking before we even see you. But. behold the change! In timid and reluctant tones you whisper across the steam tables. No one understands you. Mrs. Parker says. What?. and you mutter ' Soup.” Then Mrs. Parker has to ask again Food! What a solemn thought! TWrsCTY-TMKKe IBB
