Mr. Cluver, as president, has been indeed successful. Quite a number of impor- tant measures and bills have been brought up before the Council and passed. Among them are the following: 1. A measure creating a new exemption rule. 2. A measure concerning credits to be given in literary and musical work, with a rule that each student must have 100 credits before he is eligible to graduate. 3. A measure concerning lyres to be given to Seniors under certain requirements to be met by those participating in different musical organ- izations.

The time is limited so that it is impossible to spend as much time on our music as is desired. However, every student participating in the various musical organizations does it with the spirit of getting something done. Consequently the inter- est has grown and our music has improved steadily. We hope that in the future it may be possible for the school to give a regular course in music with credits, because where the interest is great it would be profitable to offer such a course. The music this year was under the direction of Mr. Anderson and Miss Brown. Mr. Anderson led the singing and Miss Brown the orchestra. The singing includes the assembly singing in the twenty-minute general as- sembly period, the girls and boys glee clubs, the mixed chorus, and the boys' quartet.

Secretary This year's Student Council was the iirst of its kind in the history of cur school, and it has portrayed very well the evidence of our progress and co-operation. The Student Council served as an advisory and legislative body for the school, corresponding to the president's cabinet. The cam- paign for the election of the president of our school was carried out in the same manner as the president of the United States. Conventions of the two parties, Progressive and Student Rule, were held, each class sending four delegates. The delegates decided on possible candidates, and then at a later convention these nominees were voted upon and one of those listed chosen. Planks of the platforms of the parties were decided upon and an exciting campaign of nearly two weeks was started. At the close of the campaign the student voters cast their ballots just as regular voters and on the same day as the regular election, November fourth. When the results were counted it was found that the Student Rule candidate, Wilbur Cluver, 5' had won. After the elation had somewhat subsided, a cabinet, or council, if f 4 ra f l39l VHQ.

At the Senior class play they sang two selections, Out of the Dusk, and Little Papoose, and at the plays given by the Latin Club they sang, Wynken Blynken and Nod, and I Hear the Bees A-Humming. The Glee Club practiced regularly during the thirty-minute period every Monday and Wednesday. Several selections were learned this year. Some of the favorite selec- tions were: Good Night, Good Night Beloved, Recessional, Swing Song and Little Papoosef' The Glee Club was entered in the Sub-District contest at Watseka, April 20th. The opposition was found to be too strong for the girls, and consequently they did not place. With the departure of the Senior class only two girls of the Glee Club are leaving so that there are good prospects for a successful Glee Club next year. l41l 9 QEVXIE
