A new activity of the council this year was its work in conjunction with West Building Visiting Day and Conference Hour. Card parties were held throughout the year to make money for favors to be presented to the graduates and to those who attend the Junior-Senior Prom. The stu- dents are very grateful for these gifts and also for the help they give in making their graduation activities successful. The council also sponsors the Mothers’ Day Tea each year. Other activities of the council were a trip to Garfield Park Conservatory and to the W L S Broadcasting Studio, a shopping tour in December, and a trip which included the Easter Flower Show, Tribune Tower, and the W G N Broadcasting Studio.
