Our council was a member of the National Associa- tion, Arkansas Association, and the Northeast Arkansas As- sembly of Student Councils. Besides its regular activities of planning the club schedule, being in charge of the morning devotional, and presiding at assembly, the council has spon- sored other activities. One of the biggest projects of the coun- cil was planning Homecoming. They also held two dances after football games. The council initiated two ufirstsn for WMHS this year. The first was tag day to sponsor a film of the last pep meeting. The second was White Christmasf, a project which helped many needy families at Christmas. The Whois Who was the main project at mid-year. One of the principal aims of the student council was to pro- mote citizenship, The council introduced to the Lions Club a need for an award for outstanding school citizens, and the Lions Club now presents an award for the outstanding school citizen of each six weeks and a trophy for the citizen of the year, all of which are elected by the faculty.
