THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, an old institution of Zeeland High, was reorganized early last September. This organization consists of the presidents of the four classes and two additional representatives, a boy and a girl, from each class. The Council's primary aim is to carry out the petitions of the student body and to encourage friendly co-operation between the faculty and the students. The Student Council sponsors all High School gatherings. On September twenty- fourth the three upper classes gave a masquerade party in the gymnasium in honor of the Freshmen. This party was under the direction and supervision of the Council. ,lust before Christmas vacation the Council entertained the student body with a Christmas party. Student supervision of halls was carried out by a hall-duty committee composed of four students selected from the Council. The hall supervision was put into effect during the quiet periods in the morning and at noon. The Student Council also planned and sponsored a Glory Day program on the afternoon of November eighteenth, in honor of the football team, which had won every game of the season. This7 as all the other activities planned by the Council, was very successful. The Student Council has been in existence for seven years, and during this time has proved itself capable of accomplishing its task- that of bringing the students closer to the faculty and working for the welfare of Zeeland High.

The school aims to carry out the seven cardinal principles of education, thus helping to develop Christian character, real learning, and genuine culture. COURSE OF STUDY: Each year there is a revision of the high school course of study in order to keep it modern and practical. During the present year a forward step was made by the introduction of a commercial course, with Typewriting in the senior year and Business English in the junior year to round out a four-year program. Two years of Foods and Clothing are now offered. and next year it is expected that Industrial Arts and Band will be introduced five days a week. CITIZENSHIP: This year the mark in Citizenship was started, and all students were graded on conduct, service, and citizenship. LIBRARY: The library, the heart of the school, has increased in attractiveness and usefulness. During October, 1929, the circulation reached the high peak of 1,927, and during the month of November it mounted to over 2,000. The library now has over 114,000 volumes, with 27 magazines available. EXTRA-CURRIRULAR: The debating team again qualified for the elimination contest. The 1929 Stepping Stone won All-American Honor Rating. The Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Girl Reserves have been especially active this year. The High School Band, a new organization, made a few public appearances during the year. RELIGIOUS EDUCATION: In the three Bible Comprehensive Tests given in co-opera- tion with Northwestern University, Zeeland High School ranked among the very highest of all high schools in the country taking the test. ENROLLMENT: The enrollment in the high school by classes is as follows: Freshman ..... .... ............................. 5 2 Sophomore .... .... - .... ........ ...... 4 3 Junior ....-. - .............. - ..... ........,. 3 9 Senior -- ............................................. 51 TEACHING STAFF: The high school teaching staff this year consists of 13 instructors, all of whom had two or more years of teaching experience. Over half of the instruc- tors have over five years of experience. MISCELLANEOUS: There are 49 non-resident students enrolled in high school this year. From 88 students in 1910, and 143 in 1920, the high school has steadily grown to 189 in 1929-30. Our high school is one of the few in the state to furnish resident pupils with free textbooks. An accurate appraisal of school buildings and equipment, minus property shows that the cost of reproduction of the local school plant would be over a quarter of a million dollars: but of greater value is the pricelessness of the youth who form the student body and the army of alumni.
