Lucille Wilde was elected president,Dalo Olson—vice president, and Elaine Johnson—secretary The Council consists of thirteen members. Nino members are representatives of the four grades in high school. The Council has four members of the faculty to assist with its various projects. During the past year the Council has arranged to have many educational displays, placed i n a show case, which is located at the south end of the corridor on the main floor. The Council also maintained a lost and found1 department in the office. This proved very convenient to students who, during the 'year, lost their gloves, pens, pencils, etc., these articles could invariably be found in the lost and found department. A new phase of management was introduced this year, when the Council undertook the arrangements to sponsor trips t o the out-of-town basketball games. The first of these trips v as to the Wisner-Wcst Point game and it proved to be very successful. During the week of May 4th to the 7th, the Coun- cil, with the aid of members of the student body, assisted the townspeople with the rationing of sugar. At the end of the school year, the Council arranges a special honor convocation, for the purpose of issuing awards t o those people who have earned them in various activities such as football, basketball, debate, declamatory, etc. The Council arranged special convocations, for Armistice Day, Thanksgiving and birthdays of Washington and Lincoln. In May o f this year, members of the Student Council were elected to hold office beginning next September. This election was held similar to those of city elections. The lost activity of the year that is sponsored by the Council is the all-school picnic held on the last day o f school. It has proved successful in that it brings all the students together for the last time before summer vacation. The members of the Student Faculty Council this past year were: Students- Kurt Kollmorgen, Mnrjoric Baumann, Dorothy Henke, Lucille Wilde, Elaine Johnson, Dale Olson, Robert Stewart, Shirloy Wegner, Dick Moodie, Spon-sors-Mr. A. S. Williams, Mr. William Bogor, Miss Graco Barnhill, and Miss Elvira Benne. SENIOR OFFICERS FIRST SEMESTER RRESIRENT DOROTW HEPKE SICE RTFS.

CADET A SEASON packed with thrills for fans and players: a schedule stiff with opposition: a sched- ule marrod by six defeats sport historians will record such as West Point High’s 1941 grid campaign Twenty-two boys reported to the call of Coach Loo D Graves in tho initial practice of the season Fivo lettermen and threo •veterans formed the nucleus around which Coach Graves built a powerful team which for the most of the seaaon seomingly couldn’t explode at the right moments The injury Jinx, in its annual visitation plagued only one momber of the ’41 .squad Gerald Burris, freshman, fractured a shoulder early in the season. Four .senior lettermen will be absent whon equipment is checked out next September, but the olevon returning lettermen have fans anticipating a successful 1942 season ffRSMCNf ' IN THE season’s opener on the opponents field a strong Fremont outfit out-manuvered tho Scarlet and White to take a 19-6 victory The Tigers scored first on an end run by Don Joe.

Sparked by Kollmorgen the Cadets took the ball on their own 35 and drove over for a touchdown. Recovering the second of two blocked kicks on the Bulldog’s 15, West Point punched through to lead 13-0 at the end of the quarter Kollmorgen i n the second canto flipped a long pass to Ferguson, who scampered to paydirt In the final period Kollmorgen stole the show on a 28 yard end min for the last Cadet tally. WMftfSl WALTHILL VISITED the Cadets the following week and were turned away in defeat, 7-0. In the flr3t period o f the game West Point carried the ball to the Blue jays’ six but lost the boll on downs.

During the first half, the Cadets displayed much power, keeping the ball deep in the Bulldogs territory. The third quarter both teams took to the air for long and substantial gains.

CADET THE FUTURE Farmers of America is an organization of vocational agriculture students all ovor the nation. To be eligible in this organization, one must be regularly on-rollod in agriculture or have had throe years o f previous work The F, F. A. was organized in West Point in 1935 when a chart or was received. Tho main ovent of this group is when the F. F. A. convention and Agriculture contest v cro hold at Lincoln. In the past West Point has won many of tho Agriculture contests and have sont boys into national competition at Kansas City, Missouri. Last year after boing the high individual poul- try judge o f Nebraska, Donald Schutte won third place i n Kansas City in the national poultry judging contest.

I n tho Future Fanners convention, Y est Point had n o official dolcgate but wore reprosontod by mcm-beis of the chapter. Other contests attended wore tho judging contest of the Nebraska Aboerdcon Angus Association Contest at Columbus, and Producers Commission of Sioux City, Iowa CADET FRESHMAH DAY was a most interesting day. Fifty-five eager freshman came to school clad according to the strict orders set down by the stern upper-class men. The girls looked very strong and handsome in their fathers old work clothes, while the boys were resplendent in their mothers' cast-off house drosses. Each, freshman wore make-up on one-haIf of their face with a black line down the middle• In the afternoon, the class of fifty-five freshman was led to the auditorium by Herb Pile, who seated them on the floor facing the upperclassmen. Their curiousity got the better of them v hen they were forced t o sit with their backs toward the stage. Those who were caught snatching glances at the stage received double punishment. Being able to hear the screams o f 'their, fellow claoamon but not see them helped to arouse their fear. One by one the bashful freshmen were called to their destiny by Herbert Pile, the sheriff, w h o assisted those who were unwilling to cooperate by ascending the stairs to the stage to meet the approval o f the upperclassmen. The cheers of the students called the sheriff to the 3tage three times for a short speech and a very exaggerated bow. Everything from eggs to watermelon was used to initiate the surprised freshmen. As the end o f the day drew near, Maxine Picha, as ’’Miss Freshman11, w a s married to Duane Wegner, as Mr. Ydc31 Point High. By this traditional drama, all officially became members of West Point .High. .-..--CADET —™ . THE HALLS rang with laugh-ter o n April 10, when the students came to school with their slouch day creations. The girls also Joined this years style show parade. To the great amazement of their parents the students did not spend their usual hour primping before tha mirror before going to school. Very patriotic were those who decided to do their bit to help defeat the Japs by wearing only one silk stocking. The latest helpers in the defense movement wore basket ball shorts over their trousers to save the usual wear and tear on them. Among these were Herb Pile, Bill Ferguson, and Bob Neligh. Arlin Feyerherm wore his sweat socks over his trouser legs to avoid their cuffs from getting soiled. The modest boys were shocked when Betty Lam-brect who was a late riser that morning, had not taken the time to remove her bath robe. In the last minute rush to get to school o n time, Llnina Deirs had gotten her sweater on backwards. Emilie Wilde and Amy Mae Rosendal started a new fad by wearing ankle length dresses and the latest style in hats, Marcella Buchholz, Le Arlie Engel, and Jackie Dill contradict ed the styles by wearing dresses which survived their childhood days. The only contribution made by Wallace Thompson to slouch day was to tie his shoe strings in square knot8 instead of the usual bow. Topping them all were King and Queen Slouch, Orlo Kuester and Lucille Wilde. Lucille w o r e a Beautiful green dress which was held together with safety pins. Her hair was fixed i n the latest style which will probably be copied by the rest of the school girls. Her foot wear was also very unique and caused much comment, Orlo wore knee length trousers with dainty lace trimming. Adding color to the outfit were the many bright color ed patches. He showed his dignity by wearing specs and a stove pipe hat, under which h€ wore a hat of a much smaller nature. CADET © THE SCHOOL term of 1941-42 ended with the G. A.
