The stu- dent body had previously elected an enterprising set of officers. They were as follows: president, Keen Mc- Laughlin, vice-president, David Weston, secretary, Mara lyn Ferris, treasurer, Jerald Lannenbergg and faculty advisor, Mr. Hartger Winter. The membership consisted of one representative from each first-hour class and one from each grade in high school. President McLaughlin appointed the following com- mittees: finance, Patsy Walker, Patricia Grauman, and Sue Hettingerg public relations, Jerald Dannenberg, Jean Meade, and Lynn Johnson, program, Maralyn Ferris, Betty White, and hens Morris, campus, David Weston, John Miller, and Jerry Gilpin. The Council met weekly to settle the numerous weighty problems brought to their attention and to con- sider worthwhile suggestions. Towel service was extended to the football and bas- ketball teams, and a noon-hour program was again or- ganized for those who lunched at school. The Council also assisted the Defense Council with the weekly sales of war stamps and bonds. A major project undertaken was 31,000 war bond drive, sponsored with the help of the Defense Council during the Sixth War loan Drive, which netted 5l,826.25. During March the group succeeded in selling enough stamps to buy a field ambulance costing 3l,95O. The Council shared the cost of purchasing for the session the maroon stage curtains, which are now in use By selling Ncokesn, potato chips, and Whot dogs' at the basketball tournament, and by supporting a paper drive the group collected the needed' revenue. The Council also ordered sweaters for the cheer- leaders and backed a poster campaign to boost school spirit. eta Q F!

While they munched life-savers and pored through 'foreign' X X 4 annuals, they formulated the policy for the year to come.
