JShtbeut (Jmutril One of the chief aims of the Stu- dent Council this year has been to better acquaint the students them- selves with the workings and functions of the Council and the various acti- vities of the school. To this end we compiled and organized instruction sheets covering the topics which should be in the minds of all O. H. S. students. This course in school citi- zenship was given to all Freshmen in their civics classes. The immediate desire of the Council this year was to rid themselves of the debt which was mostly due to the upkeep of the club room. By the aid of the various clubs, and the co- operation of the students by the use of the check stand, we were able to pay this debt before the beginning of the second semester. Last fall the president of the or- ganization was sent to Omaha. Nebr. to attend a meeting of the Student Council representatives from the five surrounding states. At this conven- tion an estimation of the rating of our Council was easily made. Our Council, composed of five seniors, five juniors, three sophomores, and one freshman, was the smallest organiza- tion represented, but it is safe to say that we undertook more work than any of the other Councils. Our Council as a working unit is composed of several departments, namely the Lost and Found, order in the Cafeteria, Library aids. Reserve system. Council Court. Check stand committee, Club Room, and Honor Roll. John Dunning. (PJhe, , c

Then rc- airs, changes and improvements are made, expense and labor could be greatly elimin- ated if each pupil would do his part toward keeping the building ncat, clean,.and free from debris.
