THE ECHO 27 STUDENT COUNCIL First Row: Fletcher, Mrs. Dana, Wetherbee. Second Row: Keefe, Stevenson, Yeomans, Plant, Gelpke, M. Cohen. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, composed of two members from each class and our Faculty advisor, Mrs. Dana, had its first meeting in September, 1930. This year's members were: Seniors, Albion Fletcher and Ruth Wetherbeeg Juniors, Charles Stevenson and Karl Gelpkeg Sophomores, Robert Keefe and Edward Yeomansg Freshmen, Bertha Plant and Manning Cohen. Many new ideas were adopted through the suggestion of the Coun- cilg among them was an important change in the bell schedule, a rule for the purpose of excluding students from the building at noon recess, and additional precautions against tardi- ness. During the course of the year, va- rious members visited the neighbor- ing high schools of Stoughton, Brain- tree, and Brockton, acquiring many new ideas which have been applied to our own school to good effect. Realizing that these improvements would have been impossible without the aid of the Faculty, we wish to take this opportunity to thank them for their co-operation during the past year. K. Gelpke, '32.

SPRING CONCERT The Spring Concert of this year, an operetta as usual, was The Belle of Bagdadf' with Isabelle Kennedy as the beautiful heroine. Peter Bar- ratino, representative of a film com- pany, wooed and won the lovely belle, apparently, he is still wooing her and still winning her. Lillian Ronayne as the romantic spinster furnished the gaiety of the show. Howard and Minichielli were just too cute for words as the sweet little airplane mechanics. Louise Mullin supplied the dancing part of the performance. Burke, as the gruff Hassan El Carib, admirably sup- pressed his usual humor. Again we are indebted to Miss Ridge, Miss Leonard, and Miss Sar- gent for their untiring effort. CHARACTERS Mrs. J. Horace McCann, New Ameri- can Consul in Bagdad, Mary Allen QContinued on page 425
