STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is one of the most active organizations of Central High School. This is the group we have to thank for bringing about all the many improvements around the school; notably, the wider variety of food served in our modern lunchroom. It was also the Student Council which sponsored the majority of our dances and parties. The traditional Homecoming Dance and the Christmas Mistletoe Mixer both proved to be big events of the year. Equally successful were the Polio Prom, which was presented in conjunction with the speech department, and the annual Student Council Dance in the spring. During the year, members of the Student Council, under the guidance of Miss Helen Kicher, sold book covers, collected funds for the Community Chest, and worked on the revision of a new Red and Blue Handbook. An interesting trip to Duluth was enjoyed by several students who attended a meeting of the State Association of Student Council Members. A similar meeting took place at the District Association in April. One of the newer organizations of the Council is a welcoming committee, whose duty it is to help new students and visitors become acquainted with the school. Thus, working quietly, the Student Council brings about many desirable changes and improvements at Central. President ... ..... Howard Sandcn Vice Preiident ....... Maryanne Booth Secretary .

Here are fhe cashiers and their assistants who enable you to bank every Tuesday. This is a voluntary service given to those students who like to practice thrift, and save for the future. Many sophomores and. juniors find that banking is a good way to plan for their senior budget and provide for fhe various expenses they may incur in their senior year. Under the supervision of Miss Helen Zanger, these bankers learn the principles of thrift and economics, and help advocate the practice of banking in Central High School.

This was just one of the many entertaining and educational programs sponsored by this group of parents, teachers, and students working side by side to create a greater understanding between home and school. Headed by Dr. Sanden and an efficient cabinet, this group conducted numerous open houses, planned an interesting Brotherhood Meeting, and a Welcoming Program for seniors in April. At this meeting some of Central's alumni paid us a return visit. President Vice President Secretary Treasurer . .

The Central branch of the Junior Red Cross has a record of accomplishment that has elicited praise from the National Chapter. The work of the organization is handled by advisory representatives under the direction of Miss Florence Legate. Knitting bedsocks for soldiers, stuffing animals for children's hospitals, and collecting money and small gifts to Fill Christmas boxes for boys and girls in foreign lands occupied the council during the Yule season. It was indeed a worthwhile project to share Christmas presents with those who might not receive as much as we in America do. The sale of pencils, carrying a Centrol High School imprint, was a successful way of raising money. The pencils were very popular with the students, and everyone was eager to buy them in great numbers. The Central group took an active port in the annual March Red Cross drive, and the response from the students and teachers was encouraging. The picture on this page shows the blood bank at Central. Girls in white uniforms are shown assisting two donors in Filling out their pledge cards at an open house of the P.T.S.A. Members of the Junior Red Cross do all they can to bring about many improvements, and further the work of the Notional Chapter. These young workers can take great pride and satisfaction in their worthwhile activities. 19
