i l ' ht: Ha rison Baier, President: John Slayton. 'Vice-President: Betty Clark, Marie L- Smith, Secretar- Let-ies? -Tignneth I-Till, Treasurer: Miss Louise Barthold, Sponsor. Student Council The Student Council aids in the govern- ment ofour community, This group is the most valuable among the traditional organi- zations at Central. It has been in operation since 1924. At that time it was appointed by Miss Calla E. Varner and met with her each week. Since 1926 it has been under the direction of Miss Louise Barthold, the present sponsor. Central is proud of being the originator of the animal meeting of the Federation of the Student Councils of the Central States. It isattributed with the honor of holding the first meeting of these councils at Central in October of the year 1928. Since that time there has been an annual meeting each year, which is called at various cities throughout the Middle Xlfest. The last meeting was held at Council Bluffs, on October 25 and 26, to which Central sent three delegates, the president, vice-president, and secretary of the present organization. Central holds a charter membership in that federation, and acts as custodian, keeping all records of their work. Any student wishing to run for student council,membershiph places his application with Miss Louise,Barthold and then must secure not less than ten and not more than fifteen signers on his petition. On election day each student votes for thirteen seniors. eleven juniors, and five sophomores from the eligible list of candidates, The-present officers of the Council are: President, Harrison Baier: Vice-President. John Slayton: Secretaries, Marie Louise Smith and Betty Clark: Treasurer, Kenneth Hill, .Toe Hanke is chairman of the Hall Payri' Foiirti-mi Guards, and joe Maupin is chairman of the Flag Raising Committee. The Council each year has charge of the buying and selling of second-hand books. This book exchange has proved to be very beneficial to the students. It also has charge of the lost and found, a service greatly ap- preciated by the students, enabling them to recover many lost articles. Besides these regular functions, the Student Council has been very active this past year. Early in the term it presented an open Student Council meeting in the auditorium, to give tl1e rest of the students an appreciation of their work, and frequently throughout the year they have held orientation meetings to ac quaint the new students with the rules, reg- ulations, and various activities offered here. It has also sponsored many contests, one being the Scholastic Contest, which was judged by record room average, and the rec- -ord room with the highest average received a peiinant, Among other contests were the School Song Contest. and the Annual Color Day Contest. in which they gave a prize to the most appropriately dressed boy and girl. Several social events have taken place un- der the auspices of the Council, one being the tea for the new students coming from other schools. There were three class dances for Seniors, juniors, and Sophomores, and tow- ard the close of the year the all-school mixer was held, to which all classes were invited. As you can well realize from this sum- mary of the work of the Council, it would be very difficult to conduct a community as versatile as Central without an assisting gov- erning body equaling our own Student Council.
