CVUNCIL Serving as a representative group, the council meets every month. lt is made up of the president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer of each class, in addition to the student body officers. The council, the highest or- ganization of its kind in the school, is both a legislative and executive body. Compiling and improving the budget was the first work of the student council at the start of the winter semester. The council also authorized the organization of the servicemen's correspondence committee, which, wor-king in unison with the Highlights, sent letters and copies of the paper to Beverly's alumni in the services. The sponsoring of the Norman E award, given to students exerting themselves to service above and beyond the call of duty, was a task of the council. The very successful bond drive was also held under the auspices of the council. Through this drive, and also through the council directed scrap drive, the students of Normandy made their first mass effort in the war. Both drives were very successful and launched Beverly on its Schools at War program. A i3

The splendid job it did is re- markable. The willingness, the spirit, and the efficient way the task was done is typical of Beverly. Graduating seniors will never forget the unity and spirit that prevailed here at school. As com- mencement drew near, I realized the many opportunities we had had in Beverly during the past four happy, instructive years. I only hope that those of you who will graduate in the future will take notice of your surroundings. I-lere at Beverly the students and instructors are finer than those to be found in any other high school. In closing, on behalf of the student council and myself, I want to thank the faculty and the student body for the cooperation and the assistance we received this semester. The memories of having been president will remain with me always. IVIAYFIELD HARRIS

Girls' league pres. Publicity Highlights We who are now graduating seniors came to Beverly four years ago as bewildered freshmen in a totally new atmosphere. When, as juniors, our nation entered the conflict, it was necessary to make important decisions. We have been forced in many cases to deviate from our original plans and se- lect different fields for our life work. Thus, in little more than a year, we have made great strides in adjusting ourselves to new conditions. These achievements have not been made by ourselves alone, but they have been accomplished through the guidance of a friendly administra- tion and the instruction of a cooperative fac- ulty. ln this respect we seniors owe a deep debt of gratitude. ln final tribute to Beverly l wish to extend my appreciation to you, the student body, for your unabating friendship and cooperation dur- ing my term as president the past semester. These are memories I can never forget. jllVl KNECI-lT
