Bill Bibb The student council is the forerunner of democracy in Ottumwa High School. Any institution in order to function smoothly must have a governing hotly to enforce its rules anti regulations. Our student council is Just such an organization. Any person chosen for this high honor must be very deserving of it. Councilmen are chosen by tne students anti must have ability in judgment and leadership plus a high scholas- tic rating. Some of the numerous duties of student council are: direction of the reserve system, management of lost and found, and sponsor of noon movies and dances. The president. Bill Bibb, presides over the student court. The student court gives a student trial for violations of school rules. The fact that the council has proved its definite value in high school life is due greatly to the assistance of Miss Rose Miller, who heads the group. Pack 14

These counselors work with a student, finding out what his interests are, and planning subjects that will prepare him for the future. 'The group is composed of Miss Nye, Miss Jamison, Miss Kittleson, Miss Davis, Miss Vacha, and C. N. Johnson. Page 15

To attain mem- bership in this organization a student must excel in the four aims of Torch Club. These arc scholarship, leadership, character, and service. To qualify from the standpoint of scholarship a candidate must have an average of eighty-five per cent, or above. Character is based on behavior both in and out of school. Leadership and service go together since they both represent help to the school through extra- curricular activities. To be eligible a student must be in his junior or senior year. The members of Torch Club are carefully chosen by a faculty committee of which Miss Clara Enoch is the chairman. Row I Miss Enoch, Elizabeth Bruce, Dale Fern.
