STUDENT COUNCIL Undertaking the revision of the old C.H.S. constitution, our student council began a very successful year of supervising student activities. Representing Cocjuille, Larry Wilson, Bob Christensen, and Barbara St. Clair attended a regional conference at Ashland on October second and third, discussing problems of common interest to all student councils. An all county student council is being considered bv the Cocjuille student leaders to help increase the efficiency of school government. The 1950-51 council authorized the music system which was installed in the Junior Auditorium in February, along with the purchase of records. A drive to sell magazine subscriptions to raise school money was sponsored by the student council under the chairmanship of Rod Noah. Larry Wilson, student body president, proved a very capable leader and was ably supported by Bob Groves, vice-president; Barbara St.Clair, secretary; and Gay Cedarquist, treasurer. Mr. Nihil served as advisor to the council. i 6
