Those Who Lend a Hand Sugar and sf i(C . ■Ind ei ' erything nice — That ' s what the faculty Is made of, says a truthful little jingle. Inspiration — of such is made stuff o ' dreams. Our teachers have stimulated action and have urged us onward over the many hills that obstruct the path before the day of graduation dawns and Life awaits us. Our principal and our dean have taken the parental responsibility, during school hours, of guiding our footsteps along the way of efficiency. Regardless of work, the office secretaries have always stopped to fill out the necessary slips for anything out of routine that we have had to do. Our librarian has been ever gracious in assisting us with our outside, reference, or recreational reading. The janitor has always been forbearing with us when we have transgressed. Our themes may have been amateurish ; our shorthand characters, wobbly ; our typ- ing, a big mistake, and our bookkeeping, minus a trial balance ; but the faculty have ever spurred us to scale the heights. We are trying. Twenty-four

School Politics L ' n ' J Our student body organizations ; namely, our Student Body Council and the Room Representative group, are modeled after our own constitutional governing body. The Student Bodv Council is in reality composed of a president and his cabinet of officers. The House of Representatives is comprised of the Room Representatives. Tlie President of the Senate, Wayne Cupper, presides at all Student Body Council and Room Representative meetings; the Secretary (of State), Agnes Gronquist, keeps the minutes, while the rest of the cabinet do committee work ; and the members of the House carry news and explanation from the Cabinet to the electors. A member of either of these two organizations is entitled to activity pomts, which count in the winning of an activity letter, a green and yellow C , mounted on a green sliield outlined in yellow, awarded to any student who has earned fifty points in activities and in scholarship. Thus, you see, these two organizations function in the world of school life similarly to the Constitutional body of the United States. i Tnx-enty-five
