After carefully preparing speeches and displaying posters, a group of students were elected by their fellow students to represent them in school government. They can draw up and enforce rules and penalties independently or with faculty assistance. The Student Council also helped coordinate extracurricular activities and help organize the school's social life. During this school year the extracurricular activity of the Student Council was the sponsoring of a talent show. Their future plans include helping provide funds to furnish paint along with needed materials to maintain the upkeep of the basement. We of Bismarck High are proud of the constructive work and the integrity that the Student Council has given our school. They have displayed the courage and willingness it takes to undertake such projects for the betterment of the school and the students. It is organizations such as this that make the faculty and the student body proud of their school and help determine the future success of that school. 13
