THE STUDENT COUNCIL H15 Student Council consists of one representative from each class. This rep- resentative, or Chief as l1e is called, is elected by the members of his class and holds office for a period of ten Weeks. The Council has weekly meetings when various policies and problems ol the school are discussed by the members, suggestions from the Chiefs are considered and many privileges and improvements are obtained in this way. The Student Council develops a spirit of cooperation between students, leaders, and instructors. Boys learn how to give orders. The qualities necessary both as a leader and follower are fostered by the council. Being a member of the Student Council is very good experience to those who intend to go out and make something worthwhile out of themselves. There is no doubt but that the Student Council has functioned very well in this school. lliecause the Chief assumes as part of his duties many of the minor routine responsibilities, the instructor is free to devote his time to better teaching.j
