' ' STUDENT COUNCIL 1941 Helping the students in every way possible, the Central Student Coun- cil acts as a mediator between the faculty and the student body. This year, Miss Anna B. Lewis, dean, was the able adviser of the group. As a permanent background for the council, a code, including the purpose, was composed by the cab- inet members. Personality rating charts were giv- en to each member for self-evalua- tion. Then, a chart was made under faculty supervision for the student body. Meeting every other Wednesday in the Activities Room, the body form- ed resolutions and recommendations concerning V Day, attendance at pep sessions, welcoming new stu- dents, C.C.C.-Clean Cafeteria Club, behavior on buses, and general school improvement. The Lost and Found Department was continued this year, and the Student Council bulletin board was kept up to date with weekly activities posted every Monday. Apart from the serious work, an All-School Dance was held with the Press Club December 9. Directing business matters for the year were seniors Charles Iacoby, Dan Connor, and Louise Wright. Each underclassman group elects its own vice president and secretary, who direct activities in their own classes. These nine members com- pose the cabinet which directs the major business at regular meetings. - LOUISE WRIGHT.

NATURE CLUB 1939 Things in nature, the stars, the rocks, the birds, the flowers, the bees, all ever-present and yet often un- noticed and unappreciated, hold great fascination to members of the Nature Club. Bird hikes and general nature hikes have a prominent place in the activities of the club during the fall and spring. These field trips help ac- complish the purpose of the club, to secure a better understanding of nature. 1 Meetings are held every two weeks on Fridays throughout the year. At indoor meetings, members enjoy a program consisting of talks by fellow members or guest speak- ers. Of special interest this year were talks by Ted Katras, Mill Nielson, and Miss Rosemarie Hackman. Special projects this year included a study of the economic value of birds and the study of local flora with many new specimens added to the herbarium.
