STUDENT COlUNClllL HE Student Council of 1927-28 has enjoyed one of. the most successful years since its beginning in 1925. This year's Council consisted of a group of thirty-five hard working, loyal students, each of whom did his best to hold up the standards of dear old Smith-Cotton. The year's work has been directed along various lines, all for the betterment of the school. Among them was a clean-up campaign, a preservation of property campaign, a co-operative campaign, and the directing of the assemblies. The Council has eliminated traffic congestion, and has acted as an elective and govern- ing body for the Spiz and Razzer members. The Council introduced a Courtesy Service Committee, and took charge of the High School Carnival. It has form- ulated a student code, laid down rules for the punishment of tardies, and com- piled a new student Hand Book. ' The Council is organized with a Constitution, and has for its purposesi 1. To promote co-operation between the student body and the Faculty. 2. To help support all activities. 3. To promote Student Government. The body is made up of one representative from each Home Room, four representatives from the Senior Class at large, and two from the junior Class at large. Its members have enjoyed two banquets during the year, one at the close of each semester. These were given to entertain the entire council, as new members were eligible to election at the beginning of each semester. The success of the Council this year is largely due to the efforts of H. J. Fisher, president: to Gerald Truitt, first vice-president, who served many times while Fisher was starring in athletics, and to Miss lVIcCluney, our truly capable sponsor. It has also profited by the valuable advice of Principal Paul A. Grigsby. Page I 6
