Visual Aid Office Visual Aid Corps Visual Aid Corps Visual Education in Charlotte High School has progressed rapidly in the past year. There arc now twenty-three operators available for operating Kodascopcs. balopticons. and film slides. During January, February, and March an average of 6500 feet of films has been shown each month. ( ther Visual Aid activities in addition to the operation of motion picture machines are the projection of lantern-slide lectures, talking still-film lectures and all assembly programs requiring projections. The corps lias provided song slides, local photographs on lantern slides, and stage sjxit work for the auditorium. Co-ordination of the Visual Aids office, where office clerks are one duty each period, with the Photo Club makes such services possible and by its con- nection with the Radio Club, the Visual Aid Corps has provided operators for the school radio receiving sets for classroom instruction. These services have advertised our school not only within the school itself hut have also attracted the attention of the State Visual Education Supervisors of Pennsylvania. Mr. Bennett and Mr. Kdgarton arc our ad- viser? and our officers are temporary until a constitution is drawn tip. We have appointed the following officers to serve for the re- mainder of the term: Kenneth Henderson, president; Hetty Taylor, vice-president, whose duty is to assign operators, films, and rooms; George Graham. Chief Projectionist; Antoi- nette C M»| er, secretary; Jean Sherman. Betty Belmont, and Virginia Brace, assistant secre- taries. Repair Work Projection Booth

Our Government Ol r Student Council Gforce Zt m m hr m a x Junior Council President The three Student Councils of Charlotte High School, Executive, Senior, and Junior, have worked with great enthusiasm in the past year to benefit and promote the welfare of the school. The revision of the Students' Association Constitution was begun by the Executive Council in the early part «if last year, and as a result «if their work wc arc now using an entirely new and different school election plan. Although this plan has been used for only one election it has already proved a suc- cess. The revision is being carried further by the council this term. Probably the greatest accomplishment of the combined councils was the solving of the cafe- teria problem. Tlw Junior committee, with June McKlwain as chairman, is t«i l e con- gratulated on the cooperation they gave in remedying this cafeteria situation. Wc hoj c that the students will contine their fine work in cleaning up the lunchroom. At the beginning of this term the new five- ten plan was adopted by the councils to raise necessary funds. This new plan, by which students pay only fifty cents a term for the various social and athletic activities, has ina«le it |Hissihle for many more to suhscrilte ami is very successful. side from the more serious procedure, the three councils have provided some excellent entertainment for the students. The Senior and the Junior parties have been a great suc- cess. The dime dances an«l floor shows have also been met with great approval.

Our Government (Continurd from page twnty-onf) councils this term was that of the Northern Light, our former school paper. Although no definite plans have lieen divided upon, the councils are working hard to procure a school newspaper again. The raising of money for the Memorial Scholarship Fund presented quite a problem both this year and last, hut the councils spon- sored a drive in which our assigned quota was doubled, because of the fine cooperation of the students. The latest plan introduced by tin Councils was the Awards Night. A banquet was held at school and was open to all students. Cer- tificates of merit were presented to many .stu- dents and Rev. V. I7. Chauncey addressed the group. Robert I.aFave acted as chairman of this affair. It is hoped that Awards Night will Income a tradition of the school.

They have learned through months of service with the Charlotte News Staff that one should re- port upon a news assignment completely cquipj ed with facts, and that the man inter- viewed cannot Ik? blamed for not answering questions lie has not been asked. Formed through reorganization of the old Publicity Committee, the News Staff has been functioning quietly, and efficiently, since last September, with headquarters in room 101-A. The news sources within the school have l ccn charted, and the school has been divided into heats, which the reporters cover weekly. The stories are submitted to city newspapers, and to the Greece Press, which prints three columns of Charlotte news every two weeks, under the title The Charlotte Sentinel.’’ Members of the News Staff are: Helen Harper. Eleanor Allen. Rose Bailey, Olive Gemming, Robert I.aFave, Montrose Shea, Elaine Kolmetz. Howard Burritt, Cornelius Rogers. The first five named received service awards this spring. The adviser is Mr. Miller. -----.----»»♦ The Hi- Y Club at Charlotte Hi-Y has given little indication of activity during the past year. Regular meetings or other projects were unpopular l ccausc of the other activities of the members, so the Hi-Y took a subordinate position. However, two additions in membership, a series of col- lege discussions led by alumni of colleges, and the adoption of a constitution helped to make the year profitable.
