lt is only through government that a proper defense program can be carried out. lfxemplifying true democracy, the Student Council of Sault lligh School discusses arising problems about the school and legislates by the rule of the majority. As a result of student governing has come the successful sponsoring of dances, assemblies and homevroom projects. A special undertalxing in this year's worlt was the Upper Peninsula Student Government Conference held last tall in the Sault. Also a concentrated drive against stealing was launched and a full year of successful patroling was completed by the Hall Patrol which is under the Student Cotmcil supervision. Following a tradition, the officers of the Council were installed at an assembly in the fall. Acting as executives for the year were president, lflmer Maki: vice-president. Cordon lfenwiclt: secreiaryg assistant secretary, Ruth Douglas, I assistant secretary, -Ioyce Bailey, treasurer, lfli'f,abeth NlcNlorris1 and sergeant-at-arms, lliilip lapish. XVilling and able leaders are necessary for good de- fense of the cotintry. Through the Hall Patrol both leadership and citizenship are promoted. Although comparatively new, the patrol has provel itself efficient in two years, It has maintained order- liness in the halls and has organized a safety court which punishes violaters. Composed of students from the four classes, the Hall Patrol has been under the guidance of Mr. Paul Hansen, adviser, Gordon Fenwick, captain, and Bob Kaine and Elvar Honka, lieutenants. This year was the first full year completed by the Patrol under the supervision of the Student Coun- cil. Taking an active interest in the protection of life. health, and property of the community the Safety Patrol develops what a nation must have for adequate defense, namely, law enforcement. Supervised by Mr. llonltanen and lead bv captain john Traige and his lieutenants, the Patrol showed their competence as student officers bv being awarded a plaque from the Michigan AAA, Safety and Traffic Division. Sault Highfs Patrol is the only Upper Peninsula High School to be so honored. Por the fourth consecutive year members have begun work the first day of school. They assisted in school gatherings and other activities. Through the able work of judge Alohn Ramsey and prosecutor Bruce Campbell, all convicted violators were punished ac- cording to the violation.

During the past year, the Hi-Y Club with George Menkee as adviser, has attempted to live up to its primary aim: To create, maintain and extend through- out the school and community high standards of Christian character. To become better acquainted with the purpore and ideals of the Hi-Y, the members of the organization attended the district conference and the Ulder Boys' Conference. XVith the aid of the Colonnade Club the members purchased a rug for the Keynote Room, sponsored an all-school party, and a get-acquaintetl party for stu- dents new to the Sault school system. Under the Hi- Y, leaflets were made available for basketball games. Officers for the club, which has received a charter from the Nation wide Fellowship of Ili-Y clubs, have been: president, Gordon lfenwickg vice president, Bene- dict Behlingg secretary, Flrner Maki: treasurer, Tegner Johnsong sergeant-at-arms, .lack Burdeno. Giving up-to-date news was the aim of the Key- note staff this year. Beginning their work even before school started, the staff members put out a paper on the first day of schoolg a feat never before accomplish- ed in Sault High School. The first semester a paper was issued regularly every two weeks, whereupon the funds started dwind- ling and editions became more scarce. Much of the credit for the publication goes to Miss Falls, first semester adviser, Miss lfyfe, adviserg Ruth Chandler, editor: George Hanna, sports editor, Amy Adams and Gwen Buzzo, page editors. Giving their services willingly, junior and senior members of the Colonnade Club spent the year in promoting well balanced personality, friendship and citizenship, and in helping students who were new to Sault High. They began the year with Miss Burgan as their adviser and gave a welcoming party with the Hi-Y Club for all new students in the Sault school system. To raise money ,the girls sold candy and icy-bites at the basketball and football games. A rug was prew- ented to the Keynote Room, a couch for the third floor rest room, slip covers for the couch and a fund for needy girls. lilected last year, Cora O'Connor started the organ- ization on its way in the fall. Cora served as president of the club until this spring when Ifrances Crane pres- ided. W'ith seniors graduating only ZH members of the 40 remain to begin next year's activities. lndtlstriously tht work of twelve Keynote: was done throughout the year, and even before school start- ed, by the members of the Keynote bu'iness staff. Witlaout the aid of the business staff with Gerald Butler at the head, no Keynote could have been pub- lished. Each edition carried a tale of much soliciting and ad-writing which students tend to overlook when they see advertisements. The staff diligently worked on the senior e.litio:1 and obtained funds to make special features pozible.
