Student Council Works To Furnish Lobby Council members took charge of a chocolate sale to raise money toward the furniture for the proposed lobby on the main floor. This was the major project for the year, and $350 was raised and presented to Mr. Mclver. The Student Council was also in charge of the sophomore orientation program and the elections of Soph. Officers. The Hand-Book Committee be¬ gan work on a student hand-book to provide in¬ formation regarding school rules and school activi¬ ties. During the football season, members supervised the election of the Homecoming Queen and her court and the ceremonies during half-time for the Homecoming game. Many students were able to get in some early morning studying in the student council study hall where a council member was in charge each morning. This was another example of the service given to the school. Martha Heath finds her duties as Treasurer to be very heavy during the chocolate sale. 1 14 President Freddie McCormick presides over weekly Student Council meetings.
