Lacey Serves Term As Prexv Student body activities ad- vanced during the 1936-37 term under the capable leadership of .lack Lacey, president. Other student body officers were Bill Ayers, vice-president; Gertrude Snyder, secretary; Dor- othy Montgomery, treasurer; .lack Chamberlain, business man- ager; Peggy Lahargoue, girls ' .11 leader; and James Bruce, boys ' yell leader. Among the outstanding proj- ects o£ the year were plans to institute a system of student con- trol and the purchase of a moving picture machine in conjunction with the J. C. student body. During the school term the student body supervised the soph- omore initiation, held a student body dance, sponsored the vari- ous athletic activities. brought distinguished speakers for the enjoyment of the students, and aided the dramatics classes fi- nancially to produce plays. Student Control Plan Proposed Student control was the is- sue on which argument waxed high throughout the year. In an effort to train students along the lines of democracy, the student council, under the supervision of Vice Principal T. A. Ellestad. formulated the plans for this new system of government; but, after they were read before the student body, arguments pro and con raged around the campus for approximately three months. Student control was on the tip of every tongue, yet no agreement could be reached as to its good or bad points. Students clung to the belief that such a system would be bound to break their intimate ties with friends anil cause hard feelings. Finally, the issue was put on the ballot with next year ' s student body officers, and was approved without police duty by tin- students. Council Okehs Student Plans Student body officers, presi- dents of the various school social organizations, class presidents, and class sergeants-at-arms com- prised the Student Council for the 1936-37 term, under the guid- ance of Vice Principal Ellestad. This council acted as the ad- ministrative department in stu- dent affairs. Passing its approval on student hills and projects was its principle duty. After such bills had met the satisfaction of this group, the more important of them were presented to the .stu- dent body. Problems which merited the entire student approval were the purchase of a moving picture ma- chine and the plans to institute a system of student control. The machine was secured to provide amusement tor the students as well as for educational purposes.
