STUDENT COUNCIL EXECUTIVE HOARD Srated. Left to Night: Ronald Rinacke; Paulette Hollingsworth, Secretary; Julius Jackson, President; Ruth DeCruffenreid, Representative to 411-City Student Council; George Herndon, Secant at Arms. Standing: Don Evans, Vice-Presi-dmt King Anderson, First Semester President SECOND SEMESTER STUDENT COUNCIL Taking their cue from a successful first semester Student Council, the second semester edition of this organization attacked the task of school government with a hearty enthusiasm, striving to match, if not surpass. the record of their predecessors. After hearing the candidates for Council office present their platforms and programs for a better school, the student body elected Julius Jackson to serve as president and Don Evans as vice-president, to Im his second in command. The various homerooms then elected representatives and alternates to shoulder the responsibility of expressing their thoughts to the Council in the second semester. Thus organized, with Julius at the helm and sponsors Miss Leibengood and Mr. Coo|»er to help navigate its course, this Council has accomplished a great deal. Activities such as an old clothes drive for the Mutual Help Center and a clean-up day, engineered by the House and Grounds Committee, rank high on its list of achievements. The school year 1960-61 was a very productive year for our energetic Student Council. Both first and second semester editions upheld the Central tradition of first-class student government and set a shining example for the councils of the future. Rottom Row, Left to Right: J. Mash, J.

Standing: Ann Kosmiski; Kulh DeCraffenreid, Representative, All-City Student Council: Wanda Heal I y. FIRST SEMESTER STUDENT COUNCIL lh« Student Council is the legislative body of Central. Its representatives are elected from each homeroom and its president is elected by the student body. Since these students must have earned and maintained an “M or better grade average, they are the more responsible members of the student body; and as such are interested in establishing and maintaining school policies and serving as a guide for the student body. On each ruesday. the Council meets to discuss and enact legislation, under the sponsorship of Miss Rebecca Leibengood and Mr. Joseph Cooper. This first-term Council can well take pride in their accomplishments. Ably led by President King Anderson, their foremost achievements included the formation of a social code for Central, planning and executing a successful and colorful Homecoming, decorating the front hall for the Christmas season, participating in the sale of the World's Finest Chocolate and a program of neatness and cleanliness throughout the entire building and grounds. Their crowning achievement was that of being featured in an article in the School Life magazine. Rottom Rote. Left to Right: Miss Leiliengood. E. Walker, C. Foster, J. Dawson. C. Hollins.

T h e Association of University women each year sponsor one hundred high school girls, ten girls from each of the ten high schools in the city. These girls are chosen by the school counselors on the basis of their likeliness to succeed as university students. The Kansas City Branch appoints one of its members as a hostess-sponsor of the ten girls from each school. Mrs. Arthur B. Smith has been Central's sponsor for the last several years. This year the girls plan a |M t-luck supper at her home. The event that all the girls look forward to is the Holiday Brunch held in the A. A. U. W. Clubrooms in the Sophian Plaza. At this occasion the girls meet the alumnae, girls from all the other high schools, all its sponsors and the A. A. U. W. president, and eat!! Conducted tours to nearby universities to orient the girls in preparation for university life are taken several times during the year. 26
