Q Must for tion is use West Who says a Woman could never be president? Not B-PC students! A ten-year precedent at B-PC was broken last spring when the student body elected a girl, lanet Evans, to the presidency, a job which lanet has filled very efficiently. Composed of representatives from each class and each organization, the Student Council gives students a real opportunity to practice democracy. Activities sponsored by the Student Council--Homecoming, Christmas Dance, College Day, and the March-of-Dimes Campaign-make the members realize the im- portance of co--operation between the administration and the stuf dents, an important factor in building democratic attitudes. Being the most important and active organization in school, the Council effectively fulfilled its primary duty of governing student af- fairs and activities. Besides establishing the pattern of behavior for the students, it scheduled special assemblies for our enjoyment and planned activities to fill our free time. Growing in strength each year, our Student Council has defin- itely become the guiding influence in our school.

Then the problems began to arise--pictures to be planned and ta- ken, copy to be Written, double- checked, and rewritteng prints to be selected and cropped, a dummy to be kept up to date, and--most impor- tant ot all-an early deadline to be met. Slowly we began to grasp the mag- nitude of our task. We were deter- mined that our yearbook should cover every phase of school life-the lun and the Work, the activities and the classes, the little incidents and major events, The l957 Staff is proud of its achievement and hopes that when you finish reading the last page, you will be, too. .4-rf N-J Advertising Editor Ber- nodine Worthington, As- sistant Editor Joyce Mel- vin, and Business Man- ager Lois Thompson con- fer with Sponsor Mrs. Armstrong and Editor Joyce Pershing on pre- liminary layout plans.
