STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council was organized in 1929 for the purpose of allowing the stub dents to participate in the government of the school. This organization has done much toward improving the ideals and the atmosphere of the school, deciding upon important matters, and helping things to run smoothly. The seventh grade to the Sophomore Class, inclusive, each elect one representative and the Junior and the Senior Class, each two representatives-a boy and a girl. lt has been an agreeable custom, though not a rule, to elect the president from the Senior Class. The officers for 1936-37 are as follows: President-Oscar Neal Miller Vice President-Agnew I-Iils Secretary-Mary Adeline Perry Treasurer--Bernard Cline Reporter-Marjorie Mayfield Sponsor-M r. Ellis

A squad of twenty-three girls reported for practice in September, 1936. Five of these girls were regulars last year, namely: Dorothy McDaniel, Mildred Briscoe, Mar- garet Law, Ethel Marks, and Margaret K. Bertram.. To the group was added Gene- vieve McClain who had three years' experience in the Williamstown High School. This gave a line-up of six veterans with several reserves with experience. The team play was unusually good, which is shown by the record of six wins, one tie, and two losses. All of the regulars except Margaret K. Bertram are seniors and will graduate this year. They leave a record of which the school is proud. It was not the games they won or lost, but the spirit of the Red and White which they so truly typified.

SERVICE CLUB The Service Club is organized to give recognition to the students who give service to the school without monetary reward. It is composed of students who work in the library, office, on school publications, or serve in any other capacity. In 1936, the Service Club originated Activity Night, on which night the school building is open for supervised recreation. Games are played in the music room and gymnasium. The study hall and library are open for study. Because of its success last year, it was con y tinued this ear. This is one of the crowning achievements of the Service Club. BASEBALL For the first time in several years, Canton High School's major sport for the first four weeks of the school year was baseball instead of basketball. After two weeks of practice, the Tiger nine, under Coach Owen, played two games with Camp 3736, Civilian Conservation Crops, winning the first by a 10-6 score and the second 6-3.
