Members of this group include all the appointed as well as the elected stu- dent body officers, the representatives from both leagues and the four classes, and the editor ofthe Highlights. An activity ofthe Summer Student Council was the filming of a movie showing the pro- cedure of writing and printing the school paper. The purpose of this film is to help inspire an interest in iournalism in more lower grade students and to give the student body an idea of the work that goes into the publi- cation which they read each week. Because ofthe success of last year's spring play, the council voted to have another play instead of a carnival. The selected musical comedy, Good News, was presented in May. The council under President Johnnie Ander- son was responsible for the purchasing of a refrigerator for the boys' gym and also a new victory flag. The council provided a means whereby students could suggest programs for future assemblies and also re-established the Cafeteria Council. ln order to improve stu- dent-faculty relations to an even better de- gree the council planned a meeting and invited the faculty to participate. This meeting and other projects helped the students and the faculty to better understand each other's problems.

Making decisions concerning the activities of all organizations in the school and of the student body as a whole is the chief function of the Student Council. It requires a great deal of money to keep a group as large and active as the student body running smoothly, and it is the duty of the council to keep the, books balanced. The main sources of income are candy and student store sales, student body cards, and ice cream commissions. This fall Beverly was host to a meeting of the Bay League Forum, where the common problems of neighboring high schools were discussed. Noontime entertainment of stu! dents was the topic suggested by Torrance, and Santa Monica brought up the question of what to do in case of a tie in the Sports- manship Trophy Contest, it was decided that the trophy would be shared. Delegates repre- senting Inglewood, Leuzinger, and Redondo also attended. The council arranged for buses to trans- port students to the sports events which took place at other high schools. Many of these students would not otherwise have been able to attend the games because of the expense involved or lack of other means of transpor- tion. Under the direction of Student Body Presi- dent Alan Reed and the supervision of the sponsors, Mr. Peters and Dr. French, the Stu- dent Council executed many beneficial pro- iects wisely and efficiently.
