It is composed of representatives chosen from every division room and its main purpose is the governing and bettering of Schurz according to the students' own ideas. This semester the Council passed a resolution endorsing the five-cent carfare on surface lines for high school students. This was sent to the chairman of the Transportation Com- mittee ot the City Council where it will be considered as part of the transportation problem. Other projects were traffic problems in the halls and the cleaning up of the corridors. Delegates were sent to the State Convention at New Trier and Roosevelt High Schools. The organization was under the very effective guidance of Mr. McAfee and Mr. Osbon. Victor Klebber .,... .......

xx f r M 1 - QQ? r -f hd Rafe fmt A necessary factor in the character of students who in- tend to be successful in their careers after they leave high school is the incentive and the desire to accomplish those tasks set before them. One of those tasks to be accomplished is that of maintaining a high scholastic average in their studies. To provide the incentive to accomplish this an organization known as The Laurels was founded. This club rewards students who continue to have honor roll averages. The seniors are given the privilege of wearing gold laurel wreath pins, and the juniors, silver pins. The main project of the club this year was a button sale. Special buttons with a picture of Schurz High School in brown were sold to students. The proceeds were used to buy bronze laurel pins which will be presented next year to sophomores who are honor students. This year one of the new projects of the club was the rewarding of lB honor students. A special committee of seniors went to the 1B divisions after each quarter and presented a rose to each student who had received honor roll rating. The group felt well repaid as the second quarter there was a fifty percent increase of honor students over the first quarter. Another feature on the club's calendar was a special assembly for freshmen. Here the frosh learned what they could do to be loyal Laurel members. They were given the opportunity of asking questions about the honor society and about any problems they may have encountered. Gold laurel pins are presented at the graduation exercises to graduates who maintained an honor average for the en- tire four years. Under the able sponsorship of Miss Moynihan, the organization hopes to give every student at Schurz the incentive to look to his laurels. Adolph Dubs ...........,.....,..,.. .............

With the good of the students constantly at heart, the Forum has brought about many improvements. Notable among those effected this semester is the more congenial relationship achieved be- tween students and hall guards. Racks tor the convenience ot those pupils bringing bicycles were also installed at the forums suggestion. Mirrors will shortly appear in all wash- rooms. The lunch-room has markedly improved in appear- ance. An auto driving course will be inaugurated here. All these changes can be traced to the energy of the Forum committees. The Student Forum hopes to accomplish many greater achievements, however. Yet it feels that these trival innova- tions are steps forward. ,,,.....,,,,,Pres1dent Stephen Moraczewski .,...
