Mr. Spurway was again faculty ad visor, and the Council looked forward to another successful year. The representatives of the Senior Class were Elizabeth Lucas, Marion Blanchard, Walter Herrmann, William Sprecn, and Fred Bednar. The Juniors were represented by Bertha Blanchard, Harriet Griffith, Reynar Meadowcroft, and Emil Hornick. Bennie Fischler, David Galloway, and Jean Baldwin represented the Sophomores. Wesley Van Duyne represented the Freshmen. IN e started the year by adopting a budget of $1,330 on which we planned to cover expenses for all our school activities. 'I'lie Council arranged several new school events. At the beginning of the year we had an assembly at which S. R. A. tickets were sold in the best “New ork Stock Exchange” manner. This novel plan proved to he very successful. 'I’lie school picnic, we hope, will become an established tradition. To arouse enthusiasm among the townspeople ns well as students, a parade was planned and carried out prior to the Morristown-Boonton football game. To celebrate this game, a dance was given in the gym on November 24 and was attended by a great number of both Boonton and Morristown students. All these undertakings show that the Council endeavors to promote more interest and school spirit among all the students. With the cooperation of all members and the willing assistance of Mr. Spur-wav, our faculty advisor, we hope that this year has been as profitable to the school as the preceding years have been.
