Secretary-Treasurer The Student Council is a representative body composed of the presi-' dents of all the classes and organizations in the School. The object of the council is to create and maintain a proper school spirit, by promoting and managing school activities and to bring about a friendly atmosphere in the classes and between students and faculty. The present council has been especially active and successful in this line of endeavor. The Inter-class Mixer held December Sth, 1923, was the best attended and most enjoyable of any in the School history. The Coun- c1l also sanctioned the Junior Prom, Senior and Liberal Arts Classes' theater parties and other events. The Council sponsors the Centralite and in a general way helps to keep order in the School and at assemblies and settles any difficulties that may arise among students or classes. It has proved to be an invaluable aid, both to the faculty and the student body by the efficient manner in which it has handled the various problems which have come before it. Self-government of the students in the evening school has been very successful, much of the credit being due the Student Council for its efforts along these lines. WILLIAM P. PATERIK.
