Austin, Jr. The Student Council was selected early in the fall, and is the first to be elected in C.H.S. for a number of years. Each room has a seat to be filled by one of its members attaining a C aver- age. Consequently, there are three seniors, three juniors, three sophomores, and the ofiicers. The first things the Student Council took up were the electing of the homecoming queen, and sponsoring of a homecoming dance. Early in the evening before the homecoming game with Iowa Falls, they conducted a parade. Miss Sorensonis senior home room received first place with the best fioat. Mr. Hutchens, class of seniors placed second, and the juniors, under Mr. Ebertis direc- tion, received third. The seventh grade was given honorable mention. The project was at- tacked with great enthusiasm, and was a big success despite the misty weather. At present a committee is drawing up a con- 20 stitution for the student body. This will include qualifications for nominees for queen of the vari- ous events. The council will pass on all petitions from classes and organizations. The Student Council took on the task of spon- soring the election of a queen for the State VVres- tling Meet. The proceeds for the election were turned over to the Lasso fund. The council also took charge of the two check rooms at this same event. President John Bancroft accepted the District VVrestling Championship trophy from Coach Parsons in a special pep meeting honoring the team. On Monday, February 24, 1947, the student body was called in for the same purpose, this time Coach Parsons presented the student body with the State Championship trophy. John Ban- croft thanked Coach Parsons and his team in behalf of the student body. The chief aim of the Student Council is to allow the students of Clarion High School to help govern themselves, and settle satisfactorily the problems that arise.
