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

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

QQQDNsUQ.. The main task of the student council during the second semester was to change the method of electing the head yell leader. An auditioning commit- tee was chosen to select candidates for the office and also to assist in choos- ing people to appear in the talent assembly. This committee consists of the presidents of the Boys' and Girls' leagues, the presidents of the four classes, the presidents of the Alphas and Knights, and the president and vice-president of the student body. This group was authorized to choose from three to five people from the group trying out to appear on the ballot as candidates for the office of head yell leader. In addition to this, six boys and five girls from the four classes were chosen as captains in the campus clean-up drive. Each captain was made responsible for the appearance of a certain area. The members of the student council also played host to the Bay League Forum, which met at Beverly this year to discuss problems relating to school government and management during the war. I5
