wCxx v!tx ' d; ' f CThe Student Council The Student Council of 1935 has made a splendid record for efficient work. Under the able leadership of our President, William Riddick, and under the guidance of Misses Hill and Florance much work has been accomplished. The Council is divided up into committees which handle any situations which may arise. There is the honor committee which handles cases involving any dishonesty which may occur; the citizenship committee selects the students eligible for the citizenship award; the scholarship committee chooses outstanding students eligible for the scholarship award for the year, and the ways and means committee handles finances of the council; the committee on courtesy sponsored what we believe was a most successful courtesy campaign. Although the Council has the welfare of the students at heart, it works under the disadvantages of a great prejudice because some of the students do not fully realize the purposes and responsibilities of a student government. Surely students should be proud of the fact that they are considered trustworthy and intelligent enough to cope with problems entrusted to their representatives. We hope that next year the students will come to recognize the real merits of a council and will cooperate to their utmost in helping to make their govern- ment truly a government of, for, and by themselves.
