Theodore White Harmcy Byrum. Phil Darbyshire. Bob LeBow, Virgil Hagglund This year, the Student Council of Ottumwa High School completes nineteen years of service to the school. The Council was organized in 1921 with only one purpose in mind, that of keeping the students from walking across the grass. Today, large responsibilities are entrusted to our Council, whose fourteen members are elected annually by the study body on the basis of leader- ship, scholarship, and character. The election to this organization has come to be one of the highest honors a class can bestow upon its members. Some of the many duties of the Student Council are the supervising of order in the Cafe- teria. the Lost and Found Department, Noon Movies, a Check Room for all High School activi- ties, the School Clubroom, and all Pep Chapels. The Council also directs the very efficient Reserve System of our school. Students in study halls arc chosen by the CounciImcn and placed at certain posts in the halls to enforce the pink slip rule during class hours. Anyone who does not respect this rule is tried in the Student Council Court. Much of the credit for the excellent work done by our Student Council should be given to Miss Rose Miller, the faculty adviser, who gives freely of her time in helping the Council make its projects successful.

BOARD Of CDUCATIOn Although it is not generally realized, the work of the Board of Education is of the utmost impor- tance, for it has the responsibility of planning the education of future citizens. The Board is composed of seven prominent residents of Ottumwa, who give freely of their time and energies to make our public school system one of which we may be proud. They are constantly trying to improve our schools and to give us opportunities for education which we could not have had otherwise. For all this they receive no compensation except the satisfaction that comes from a job well done. The members of the board are Mr. ( I). Evans, president; Mr. Ernest Manns, vice-president; Mr. C. C Lowenberg. Mr. Frank Raney. Mr. Eugene Wulfekuhier, Mr. Walter McElroy and Mr. H. V. Wilson. The members whose terms expire are elected at a special school election each March. The board has charge of finances, hiring teachers and custodians, purchasing supplies, building and maintaining schools. During the last year it has chosen sixteen new principals and teachers to fill vacancies. It has also made plans to build a new athletic field. The Ottumwa school system now includes thirteen grade schools and cur beautiful high school, as well as a continuation school and several grades at Sunnyslopc. We take this opportunity to express to The Board of Education our sincere appreciation for its un- tiring efforts in our behalf. TH€ 1940 ARGUS Page eighteen
