THE TRlDENT 5 Trident Board rl-'l0l0l l l0l l0l'-l0l0l l' Editorial Paging Brewer High's successful alumni and all others interested in Brewer High School! More awards for deserving students and athletes are needed. There are at present five prizes offered to Brewer High students-the Harvard Book prize, to the out-- standing Junior boyg a prize, donated by the M. P. M. Club of Brewer, to the Senior girl excelling in Eng- lishg the Rensselaer Award, offered by the Rensselaei Polytechnic Institute, to the Senior boy, excelling in mathematics and science, the American Legion Award, given by the Daniel E. Geagan Post, to the best Junior Speakerg and a prize, offered by the B. P. W. Club of Bangor, to the high ranking Senior girl. Think of it, only five prizes for a school with six hundred and eighty students. The school is, of course, grateful for these but there is a chance for many other awards. Here are a few suggestions-a prize for the outstanding boy and girl athlete, an award for the most promising commercial student, an award for the student, excelling in music, or medals for outstanding students in any subject. The fact that there is a material reward for theii efforts would be an incentive to many pupils to do a little better grade of work. :ie :iz :Ia az :ga A Student Council in Brewer High? At Bangor High School there is a student council which is one of the most active and beneficial orgianf izations in the school. tBangor is only one of many schoolsj. Here is the general idea of how it is planned and of what it does. The purpose of the council is the unifying of stu-- dent organizations, the developing of a strong morale in the student body, the encouraging of high grade work and the promoting of the general interests ol' the school. livery student is considered a member of the comm-- cil but the executive body is composed of the class presidents, the captains and managers of the athletic teams, the club presidents, a delegate from each home room, one faculty member, and the principal. These members are chosen at the beginning of each year and then the ofiicers are elected. At the meetings, held once a month, the president presides and either the principal or a faculty mem- ber must be present. The powers delegated to the council include the power to make and enforce rules for the general betterment of the school, to supervise the extra curricula activities, to grant charters to clubs and organizations, and to investigate various matters of interest. Any of these measures, however, may be vetoed by the principal with a reasonable explana- tion. The council also carries out various activities such as: care of school property, lost and found articles, school trophies, and promotion of respect, school spirit, punctuality, and good citizenship. Brewer High School needs a Student Council! How about a little action, undergraduates!

Why don't they take more part in the assemblies and speak out their ideas on sports and various activities? They sit in their seats green with envy when some Bangor student comes over and speaks to the assembly about some extra-curriculum activity to be put on in Bangor. The Bangorites come over here and speak to them with all the ease and enthusiasm of experienced orators while the Brewer- ites don't even dare to speak in their own assemblies let alone go anywhere else and speak to more than two people at a time. Why can't they do this? Well there are two im- portant reasons for this. First, there is no course in expression at Brewer. This is truly one thing in which Brewer High is sorely lacking and it puts the students at a great disadvantage with the pupils of other schools of the same size. Secondly, the students have no confidence in them- selves. Now this is a sad fact because many of them could do as well as the visitors even without the extra training, but they haven't the nerve. Surely this is much more serious than merely the lack of extra training because it is their own fault and it also tells on their character. Now let's see what can be done to remedy this situation. In the Hrst place Brewer High needs a course in speaking which should be given to Sopho- mores at least. This will not help, however, if they do not snap out of it and gain a little confidence in themselves.
