THE NUGGET Athletic Association President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer .Burton Lamscha -Clarence Decker Harry Haenigsen .Donald DeLazier HIS year has been a rather active one for the Athletic Association. At meetings held a short time after school started, sub-treas- urers for the different classes were elected and these immediately got to work. A set of boxing gloves were purchased for the use of the members of the association. Also work was started on the field in back of the school, the plan being to clear it off, grade it and make a baseball diamond and running track. Up to this time, the level- ing of the field has not been completed, but a good start has been made and it is to be hoped that sometime in the near future Butler High School will have an athletic field of which to be proud. Another important thing done this year by the association was the granting of uni- versal suffrage to the female members of this High School. This was adopted after some discussion by the male members and carries with it all the regular privileges of a member, including the payment of the monthly dues. Money has been brought into the treasury by the A. A. Dance, held at the Emanuel Einstein Library, at Pompton Lakes, and by a plan suggested by some of the Seniors, that of selling tags for admis- sion to baseball games. These have in- creased the amount paid in as dues. Taken all in all, this has been a very successful year for the Athletic Associa- tion. X Letters have been earned by the follow- ing members of the school teams: TRACK TEAM—Leo Rowe, Burton Lamscha, Albert Falk, Richard Rowe, Harold Dobbs.

THE NUGGET Student Council Secretary President-----------------Harry Haenigsen ---------Leo Rowe Treasurer Burton Lamscha Mildred Gory Donald De Lazier Richard Rowe Margaret Rowe Albert Falk Clarence Decker Leo Rowe HE Student Council is still in its infancy in Butler High, having first seen the light on Feb. 18, 1918. Since that time it has been instrumental in solving class and school problems. As in other schools, its primary purpose is to bring about some kind of organization and regulation be- tween the classes and societies. It consists of the presidents of all the classes, recognized clubs and societies, and managers of all athletic teams, along with one faculty member. The president of the Senior Class automatically becomes presi- dent of the Council. The other officers are elected by the body. The faculty mem- ber is chosen by the supervisor to repre- sent him. Definite written plans for any activity must be submitted to the Council by the representative of the organization desiring to hold such activity. The Council acts upon these plans and has the power of ac- cepting. changing or rejecting them as they think advisable. If the plans are found to be acceptable they are passed to the faculty member, who reserves the power of passing or vetoing them. If he T .yyi'-J finds them objectionable he must return the plans to the person first submitting them, within one week, accompanying them with his full reason why they are not satisfactory. The representative may then change them to suit the require- ments of the faculty member, and resub- mit them to the Council. Permission to make any expenditure must be secured from the Council. Judge-Five years for stealing $200 from the post office. Prisoner—Golly, please go a little easy, Jedge, ah only went in there to git a piece of paper to write mah address fo a frien’, but it wuz so dog gone dark ah couldn’t see what ah wuz doin’.
