Its aim is better understanding between students and faculty, and it provides many parties and entertain- ments during the school year. The officers for the school year 1947-48 were: president, Joe Blanton: vice-president, Betty Wald- mapg secretary, Ann Newsom: treasurer, Merrilyn Yo fie. The president, vice-president'and secretary were the candidates for president, as they were chosen long term senior members. Our sponsors for the year were Mr. Stewart, Miss Bailey and Miss O'Hara. Some of the activities sponsored by the Council this year were: It maintained the Bulldog stands at all football and basketball games. It maintained the Lost and Found Department, keeping it open during the first and fifth periods. It sponsored several dances this year after foot- ball games, besides our seventh and eighth grade parties. Our Valentine dance was a great success, A Valentine queen candidate was chosen from each of the four upper grades. The candidates were: Caro- lyn Corlew, freshmang Emily Lair, sophomore: Caro- lyn Wilkinson, junior, and Barbara Bethune, senior. The junior candidate was elected queen. Each stu- dent who paid one dollar deposit on his annual was entitled to one vote for the queen of his choice. During the year the Student Council sponsored a clothing drive for the needy people of Europe. Home- room llC collected the most clothing and the Council gave them a free picture show as the prize. Open House was again a 'great success this year, and each room presented displays on its particular subject. For the second year the Student Council pub- lished the annual, The Growlerf' gee Bfarztou, Spaesicfent
