Our BTHS Councilmen for 1956 When Thursday rolls around the members of our student council meet during 4b in 1 12L. It is during this period, as least once a week, that the suggestions, complaints, and other matters which primarily con¬ cern the students of the school, are openly discussed. A typical student council meeting starts ou,t with very formal parliamentary proceedure. The officers try hard to keep the meeting proper and dignified, but in spite of their efforts the discussions sometimes become rather heated. One session usually covers everything from more soap in the washrooms to the flustered seniors gallantly insisting on a sneak day. The council accomplishes some very admirable and useful legislation, such as the Student Code of Ethics which was adopted this year. 88

The “staffers” spend from September to May of their senior year working on the yearbook, trying to make their book jthe best one yet. That is quite a task, since the year¬ book has been in continuous publication since the founding of this campus in 1917. Staff members find themselves in a constant buzz of activity, from writing copy jto selling ads and popcorn. But all work and no play makes for dull¬ ness, and staff members lead anything but a dull life! A peek into the sjtaff room, hidden away in the basement of the Lib building, might reveal almost anything. An imita¬ tion of the top singers, apple cores in the was.te can, a blaring radio, or even a few studious bookworms. The staff room is treated as a “home away from home’ ' by the staff, and it is generally a mess! Bu.t the staff really works too, and in June has a book to put into the hands of the student body.
