These eight students elected Forest Dewar (sen- ior), president; Dick Leary (junior), vice-president; and Helen Fleming (sophomore), secretary-treasurer. All the members were active in the other organizations in school. The most important job of the Student Conucil was the sale of Victory stamps and bonds, which were sold every Friday noon. At the beginning of the year, pledge cards were passed out to all the students in school, and they were asked to make their pledge for the year. Then a contest was started to learn which classes would buy the most. The two classes that were low gave a party for the winners. This kept the interest and helped the students to remember to keep their pledges. The March of Dimes, held the last week of February, was won by the senior and sophomore classes. Over twenty-four dollars was contributed on this date. One of the jobs left from last year was the naming of the basketball team. All the students were given a chance to enter a name. With the help of Mr. Haire and the coach, the name “Tigers” was chosen. Twenty-«even
