Led by Iim Weber, president, the Council accomplished many worthwhile things. The bookstore, which was open six periods a day, was one of the services sponsored by the Council.

The Council entered into the Christmas spirit by decorating the front lawn of the school with the Nativity Scene. One of the most important projects undertaken by the Council was the annual pay- ments of S215 on the public address system, which the Council recently inaugurated for Brookville High School.
