STUDENT COUNCIL Seated Q1 to r D Mr McFarland, B Barrows, D Fessenden, C Lstelle, O Hushana, Mrs Strong, Adv Standing B Campbell, U Wllllams, R Kellogg, G Dougherty, J Hughes, Aman, A Andrews The Students Association this year boosted its finances when it sponsored the Halloween Party A total of one hun dred forty eight dollars and eighty one cents was taken in Of course a tax was im ediately taken out A good time was enjoyed bv all who attended The membership drive was held October 24, 1950 The purpose of this drive is to get all the students in the seventh and eighth grades and in high school to join the Students Association The drive started at ll SS but the money was not to be collected before ll 52 The prize consisting of all day suckers was given to the class who presented their money and lOO enrollment first The Seniors won, but the drive was not too successful Because a lot of high school students didn't join the Student Association, we decided to have an assem bly and explain the benefits which the Association gives the students The as sembly was held in the gym on October 21 Each officer, laymember, and delegate in the Student Council gave a short talk to explain the purpose of the Association and what activities the Association may sponsor. This proved to be quite success ful and quite a few students joined. This year it was decided to sell programs at the basketball games. . McFarland wrote to the Coca Cola Company and asked them to send us programs which we had filled in with the players names and positions. We had them printed up at the Courier office and we sold them at five cents each. We broke even in the end but we provided the spectators mzthe games with a more thorough knowledge of 8 the players as well asaplace where they could keep their own box score The Association pays all the refer ees at the football,basketball,and base ball games This amounts this year to more than two hundred dollars We also pay membership dues to the N Y S P H S A A This organization sponsors all the play off games in basketball and, if we did not pay dues to this organization, we would receive no trophies or other awards for winning league championships The Students Association also buys all the awards for the extra curricular ac tivities This includes mus1c,athlet1cs, intramural programs, Journalism and an nual awards, and awards to the members of the Student Council The Annual is another worth while project of the Association This year's book with stitched binding, hard covers and added pages will represent an outlay of over nine hundred dollars for four hundred copies. In order to sell at S150 per copy,we must secure advertising to make up the difference. This organization can be as effec- tive as the members themselves want to be. It is up to us to use our own initiative. We can do many things if we have the foresight to plan them and are willing to take the responsibility carrying them through. In the Students Association we have an unique opportunity of actually par- ticipating in the democratic process of government. It is up to the students themselves to have effective student government. '84 Q A Q gk ,M , X K, WA V w ' : . . . . '. . Q Q O ,Y I : . ' I ' ' . . . 1. . C U , - - . . .

DOORS Doors are simple things Or are they' They are primarily intended to close off a passageway from the forces of the weather, our cavemen ancestors probably used an animal hide Nowadays you have your revolving doors, doors which are counterweighted for greater ease in o ening or closing Cespecially large doors ,overhead doors, and all other sorts of doors Doors are ornamental as well as functional They make the Christmas But, doors are wreath handiest place to display a to me all these features of minor Doors present a chal lenge, they beckon, flaunt their secre tiveness at me What lies beyond9 Op portunlties, the chance of a lifetime, fortune, knowledgeo One must open the door to find out One of the first doors about is the door that leads where you can play in the open out four confining walls to superabundant energy in check you learn outside air with hold your Later you meet the door to school You don't but a stead pressure on your arm re minds youths you don't have much choice in the matter with mother steering you toward an ominous looking teacher You soon find that school 1sn't so bad and the teacher is really a very nice woman Wel1,school only lasts twelve years and it's a funny'Rnl1ng you have in your stomach as you walk through that doorway for the last time It's a mixed feeling of sadness and gladness Sadness because youvre parting with something which has practically been your life, but gladness for the new horizons which lie before yOu, th9 DSW doors which beckon to you Maybe the next important door which lies before you is on a college campus Another important door in your life is the door which opens the church for you You may be going through that door some day for an important event in your life, marriage The door of your new home is just as important for you and your part ner for life laybe other doors in your life will bring friendship, happiness, or prosper ity, or they may give you worries and troubles but,1f you've tried to open the doors forgood cleanliving all your life, that final door which opens to you will be the most glorious of all NTwN+kqk.Jn:xC SPIRIT IS HALF THE BATTLE Personally, I don't believe that we knowihe halfof what's going on in Korea We were winning for a while, losing again How great our are, or how many millions of equipment we have lost, we do Not onlycn the war front but we are casualties dollars of not know. but on the home front a nation should have spirit and will to win. First on the home front we should have the spirit to produce good equipment , and to get it there ina hur- ry. We should have faith in our generals, if they are winning or losing, but most of all should have faith in our country On the war front spiritalso counts the kind of a spirit that makes a boy fight hard and long without sleep and with little food The faith they have in their com anding officers and in their country is what makes them fight harder than ever I said in my opening that we are now fighting a losing battle When we were winning we weren't afraid of the enemy, and we're not now either aiu A GRAVE PROBLEM Today we young high school seniors are faced with a serious problem By no means is this problem a new one We face a grave decision when we graduate from high school, just as did the high school seniors of 1939 and l 0 Should we join the armed forces, go to college and walt till we are called, or just wait around until we are drafted' I think we would be wise if we lis tened to the advice which them graduates of '39 and ' O are giving us They say and I quote, We too were faced with this problem A few of us just gave up, quit school, and enlisted because we thought that there wouldn't be much of a future We were sorry, because after the war were faced with the task of finding a good job Although we found a job, if we had listened in our parents and teach ers, we would have gone to college Even though we would be drafted after we were in a year, we could go back to that same college after the war, and resume our education under the G I Bill of Rights We would then get a better than average job which a college education provides W I admit that it is a patriotic ges ture to join upandhelp defend our coun try But we help our country by waiting and getting a better education A bet ter educated man makes a better soldier than an ignorant man I am not lnsin uating that just because you don't go to college or finish high school you are ignorant But I am trying to show the high school senior the benefits he will receive if he at least finishes high school I am also pointing out that if it is at all possible to spend a year or two in college he should do so A col lege graduate also gets a better rank even if he is drafted But I think that anybody wnl agree that a person is fool ish if he doesn't get as much of an edu lation as he can I will make one exception of the very low percentage of people who do not have sufficient intelligence to complete high school The service is a very good thing for them because it provides them with a firm foundation for later life But there are very few people who could n't complete high school, if they wanted to work a little. So high school seniors and other students who will graduate while this problem continues: letfs lis- ten and follow the advice of people who have education and experience to back them up. 9 . 9 auxqfjZaL4b-ago' we O gh . think much'of walking through that door, 5 - ' WS , -
