We graduating seniors, however, shall maintain our inter- est in Beverly and shall always feel that we are a part of the school. We realize that we have had four wonderful years of training which will enable us to meet, not only the usual, but today's un- usual problems. Our experience in student government has prepared us for our duties as citizens. To the Faculty we extend our thanks for expert guidance in our high school life. Through its ef- forts and example we are leaving Beverly enriched in wisdom and improved in character. We graduating Normans have earnestly endeavored to make our contribution to BeverIy's tradi- tions, school spirit, and student government. We hope that the highest standard of cooperation and loyalty will be maintained in the future, It is up to you, the future leaders of Beverly, to carry on the work of those before you. In closing I wish to express my sincere appreciation for your loyal support and cooperation and for the opportunity of serving you as your president. I shall cherish these memories forever.

lllll lll The student council is the representative group of the stu- dent body. It is made up of the president, vice-president, sec- retary, and treasurer of each of the four classes. The council acts as a legislative and executive body, making changes in the Constitution and looking after the welfare of the school, The work of the Council is varied. The first business which had to be attended to the first semester was the planning of the budget. The budget, which was meticulously worked out, is financed by the money taken in from the sale of student body cards. An important change in regard to class presidents and com- missioners who sit on the council was made. These individ- uals may hold their offices for a year, but if they desire to run for another office, they may resign at the end of the semester. This change was thought wise because it makes for continuity of leadership. For the first time the Constitution was followed implicitly concerning eligibility for club membership and for participa- tion in sports. Because money allotted to clubs and sports comes from student body cardsales, all members of affected clubs and sports were required to be student body card hold- ers. 19 Photo by Mark Speer ' 7 Q v Q

During the second semester the council was particularly active. As an aid toward national defense a tin toil drive and a paper drive were sponsored by the council. A committee was appointed whose duty it was to organize noon programs. These programs created interest in school attairs among the students. A box in which suggestions were placed tor im- provements in government and activities around school was put in a convenient location. The council then considered all suggestions, some of which were excellent. One ot the sug- gestions which was carried out pertained to changing the show case. A new method-the honor system-was inaugurated in or- der to keep the cafeteria area clean. lt was believed by this system that the students would have more pride in the school, A committee made up of council members was appointed by the council and helped with a dance, which was sponsored by the P.T.A. The student council approved an organization which would help promote health. This group, known as the Medical corps, distributed bulletins which made students conscious ot the problem. The adviser ot the student council is Mr. Kenneth C. Mitchell. Zl Photo by Mark Speer I xt I pf 'ii 'ff
