Although they were few in number and had little equipment with which to work, the members of the MIRROR staff managed to publish a school paper. The paper, which consisted of one page, contained news of school activities and student achivements. STUDENT COUNCIL Huntington's first Student Council was organized on February 18, 1924. Composed of ten members, it assisted and cooperated with the principal and faculty in the management of the school. An experiment at first, its success required reorganization. It sponsored clean-up campaigns and other programs which pro- moted a closer relationship be- tween the faculty, administration, and student body.
