Page.29 ORGANIZATIONS KANKONKER AND ANTI-CAN'T PARTIES. The students of the A. H. S. have two political parties, the Anti-Can'ts and the Kankonkers. Early in September, the teachers divided the student body equally as to numbers and to scholastic and athletic ability. These par- ties meet separately to draw up platforms which they believe will further the interest of the school, and to nominate representatives to the Student Council. The aim or purpose of two political parties in the school is to devise a better working-plan to promote the general welfare of the school, to arouse and to maintain better student interest and support in all school activi- ties, and at the same time to provide the students with some idea of the purpose, working plans, and possibilities of political parties. This plan for political par- ties to introduce and boost school movements and policies is new in the school, and it is hoped that the results will always be satisfactory. This year the Student Council had more Anti-Can't representatives than Kankonker. 1. .L 'T X

Front row left to right :-Glen Blair, Agnes Davies, Florence Swallom, Naomi Blair, Zelda Davis, Ted Kolassa. The Student Council consists of the President and representatives from each grade. Mr. Travis sponsors this organization. The Objectives of the Student Council are: 1. To substitute real democracy as a form of social and self-control in place of teacher dominance, in other words, to substitute internal for external control. 2. To acquaint pupils with the machinery, duties, and responsibili- ties of the individual in a democracy. 3. To develop a respect in the group for group-made regulations. 4. To develop a spirit of willing co-operation between pupil and pu- pil, and to encourage a closer relationship between pupil and faculty. 5. To develop qualities of good leadership and intelligent follower- ship. ' 6. To secure, through wise teacher guidance, the elimination of those corrupt practices which have worked into the scheme of democracy as it functions in civil life. 7. To afford pupils here and now the opportunity to live in a demo- cratic organization, thus giving them the opportunity to prac- tice with satisfaction the life of a good citizen.
