Smith, Mueller treasurers HIGH commendation is de- served by our hard working group of student treasurers. In cooperation with Miss Mary Mc- Nally, general treasurer and her assistant, Alita Wunderle, they have again proven the resource- fulness of the student body. Har- riet, the largest single enterprise undertaken this year, was financed entirely by this group of budget wizards. A specific budget was allowed the production. Checks had to be signed, countersigned, and approved for costumes and property. Books had to be bal- anced. Much of this was done by capable Alita Wunderle. Our financial accounting system is simple, with money for all activ- ities in a general checking account. There is a dual benefit from this; all activities gain in case of a de- ficit in some department and there is more accuracy in accounting. Another good point is the three- way check system in writing requisitions. After the student has signed them, the sponsor of that organization attaches his sig- nature. As a final check, Prin- cipal Adams signs it. The requi- sitions then go to Miss McNally, who writes the checks. This sys- tem works for the benefit of every- one. One outstanding student trea- surer is Harry Price, who has worked many hours each week for three years. He has borne the title of student treasurer for ath- letics proudly, making a financial accounting of all receipts and ex- penditures. Twcnty-ono

udent THE voice of the student body is heard through the Student (’ouncil. Presidents of the eighteen home- rooms compose this council, so personnel changes each semester. One project undertaken this year was the purchase of a plaque in memory of Ames High boys who lost their lives in World War II. The finished plaque, of solid bronze, twenty by thirty inches, is to hang on the south wall of east hall. Stu- dents contributed generously to make the campaign for raising the necessary $275 a success. One other important project undertaken by the Student Council this year was the revision of the handbook given t all sophomores. c . bounce Our Student Council maintained Open House sponsorship this year with an equally successful result. Our homeroom organization is the basis of our successful student governing system. It has func- tioned for nearly two decades. In the alloted time each morning, the pupils are encouraged to discuss student affairs. The Ames High Student Council is an example of democracy at work. Officers first and second semes- ter were Herb Robbins, Glenn Minott. presidents; Harold Gas- kill, John Fenlev, vice-presidents; Albert Ballard, Mary Powers, secretaries and Rosalie Robinson, treasurer. Everett Ritland was faculty advisor. Top Row: D. Larson. G. Moore. Paul Gibbs. G. Clark, Maiden. Gore Skoono Row: R. Mc- Farland. M. But- ler. Robinson. J. Miller. S. Day. M.

no oc- FLASHING five-tenths of a sec- ond from the previous fire drill record, fire squad established a new record by emptying the building of students in forty-seven and five-tenths seconds. In addition to conducting fire drills, the twelve senior, fifteen junior and twelve sophomore mem- bers of fire squad were responsible for eliminating confusion in the halls. The halls were supervised each day from 8:30 to 8:45 and from 12:45 to 1:00 by sophomore and junior members taking their turns at this duty every other week. Senior members had regular hall duty but did easionally act as substitutes. Nominations for lire squad mem- bers are made by the junior high school principals. Members are chosen from these nominations by the entire fire squad membership. Fire squad members held a meet- ing every Thursday noon to discuss current problems with their spon- sor, Miss Ruth Miller. Holland Knight served as fire chief, John Edwards as assistant chief and Max Sowers as secretary- treasurer. Tor Row: Fitzsimmons, Angle. Murray, Grant. T. Shultz. Harper. Sowers. A.
