C. 1. H. S. This group of students represented Casey Township High School on the Columbia School of the Air broadcast over WBBM Friday, January 19. The students were chosen from the United States history classes of around seventy pupils, mostly seniors. This group was reduced to the sixteen who went on the air at Chicago. To qualify, the students first wrote a paper on the subject they were to discuss— Keeping Out of War. This theme was from 600 to 1000 words. Out of the entire group, twenty-one were selected. These papers were read by both the history instructor and one of the English instructors. They were evaluated according to content, ex- on the flir pression, and the like. One student dropped out of the race, leaving twenty in the field. These twenty students had a special conference with their history instructor, who went over their papers with them discussing them thoroughly and giving suggestions. Then the group had individual conferences with the speech instructor, who tested their voices. The history instructor and the speech instructor jointly selected the group of sixteen students. After the group was selected, the program of training consisted mostly of discussions using the public address system.

This group is called the Student Council. The members are composed of the class officers, and the officers of the senior class are automatically the Student Council officers. This year's officers are president, Todd Fouty; vice-president, Lamont Dehl; secretary-treasurer, Wanda Snearly. This group, with the aid of their adviser, Miss Maurine Johnson, has been responsible in past years for the organization of the Pep Club, with Rosemary Weigel as president, for planning of the student employment bureau, with Veairnell White as the adviser. They are responsible for all student assemblies and ly-ceum numbers, with Bill Victor as chairman of this committee. This year a reorganization plan is in progress by which the Student Council may be enlarged and will be more representative of the school. The members of the council, except freshmen representatives, will be elected in the spring so the council will be definitely at work on the opening day of school next fall. It is the responsibility of the Student Council to plan for all school parties and programs on special occasions. With the reorganization of the council, we hope to be an even greater factor in our school life. 1 9 4 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 18
