The Orchestra proved to be an asset to the school and received many compliments from the community. The following were last year’s members: Cornet—Albert Schulze, Edwin Jackson. Albert Yelle. Miss Lind: Piano—Robert Ashley, Benjamin West: Clarinet—Lester Sutton. Carl Jackson: Saxophone—Jerome Fink: Violin—Walter Josephson, Laurence Larsen: Drums—Kermit Christison: Banjo— Kenneth Christison: Trombone—Maurice Sadler: Mandolin—Miss Quilling. This year nine old members were left and Anna Marie Fink joined making a total of ten. I o make the organization more efficient, officers were elected to preside over meetings, collect dues and take charge of Music. The Orchestra has shown a marked improvement during the present year. ECHO Although our monthly school paper, the ’’Echo.’’ has been published for the past four terms we consider this to be a banner year in its development. Its four pages are always crammed ‘'chuck-full'' of interesting news, editorials and jokes. The first issue was dedicated to the Freshmen and contained all matter pertaining to the new students. The last issue will be devoted to the Seniors and will be edited by an exclusively 4th year staff. By careful and energetic management we have produced what we believe to be a first class high school newspaper and the equal of any of its class and size in the state. This success can be attributed to the talented and active staff as well as to the splendid faculty supervision. We owe a great deal to the advice and aid which we have received from Mr. Keck, who has taken a real interest in our paper. We have laid especial emphasis on the editorial page which certainly ranks high in importance. Anyone may contribute, providing his work conforms to the high standard maintained and treats of some subject of sufficient weight to be worth while. Frequently the classes have competed for the honor of seeing their own essays in print and in such cases it has counted as part of their accomplishments in English. Taken all in all, we feel that the Echo has well repaid the time and effort necessary to produce it, and those of the staff who vyill complete their labors in their various capacities this year, have the assurance that the paper which they have helped publish is an entire success in every way.

20 E C II O ACTIVITIES ASSEMBLY PROGRAM This year Mr. Keck brought up the plan of having an Assembly Program on Wednesday of each week during the last period of the forenoon. A Committee composed of three members of the student council took charge of the plan and it was a real success. Each one of the classes took their turn in displaying their talents, but the shortage of artists made it necessary to award three honor points to anyone who took part in an assembly program. This created strong competition between classes. Each class tried to get a large number of pupils to take part in their program in order that they might make progress in the honor point race. The type of entertainments rendered varied from orchestra concerts, piano solos, vocal solos, songs, dramatization, one-act plays, readings, and debates to lessons on etiquette. The plan proved to be successful in that it afforded an opportunity for both training and entertainment. THE STUDENT COUNCIL The student council is a very important and influential factor in our school. Student government serves as a laboratory where pupils learn to take their share of the responsibility for the management of their own affairs. Each of the four classes met with their class sponsor at the beginning of the school year and elected two members of their class, a boy and a girl, to represent them on the student senate. Each class attempted to select two members of its group who were trustworthy and dependable at all times. The council proved very capable in assuming responsibility and they were put to some real tests during the school year. Some of the duties are as follows: To select the pupils who shall receive Honor Cards at the close of each six-week period. To select five pupils from each class from which the individual classes shall elect their two Honor Citizens. To check up on athletic eligibility. To oversee the freshman reception. To sec that no school property is destroyed. To take charge of the library. To set the proper example before other citizens of Clear I akc High School. To be punctual, regular, courteous, industrious, loyal, and reliable. The council holds regular meetings which are under the direction of a chairman. Our Principal. Mr. Keck, always attends the meetings, but he does not have a vote. This is the second year that we have had student participation in government. The Student Council is composed of the following pupils: Laurf.nce Larsen President Grace I.INDERSON Vice-President Alice West Secretary ALBERT Schulze Treasurer Lome Campbell, Lenore Johnson, Reuben Paulson. Myrtle Daniel FRESHMEN RECEPTION On Monday evening. September 6th. the upper classmen and teachers gave the Freshmen a reception at the High School. The reception committee made the Freshmen feel at home, and the entertainment committee did their best to show them a good time. The student council had charge of the latter part of the program and each new student was given an opportunity to make a citizenship pledge to Clear Lake High School. Ice cream and cake were served.
