This special assembly has become a tradition at C. H. S. All the mothers of members of the Class are the special guests of the High School. They, along with the school, listen to those old favorites: the class will, the prophecy, the class poem, the class song, etc. After the assembly the seniors and their mothers adjourned to Room 8 for tea.

They sent a boy to Boys' State, selected another to be sponsored by the American Legion, purchased two trees which arc now growing on the high school lawn, paid $25 toward the public address system and painted the flag pole. This year an amendment was made to the council constitution which provided that the presidents of the other clubs be made members of the council. On April 21, the council sponsored a party for the basketball boys. This was to take the place of the annual student council banquet for the athletic teams. Another outstanding innovation was inaugurated by this year's council. New Lex High School and Crooksville High School exchanged assembly programs. Each council transported their talent to the other schtxil and presented their program. It is hoped that this will become a custom in the years to come. The scout troop 33 is also a student council project. Another new feature was the “Little White Shoe,” which is to become the football trophy between Crooksville and New Lex. At the end of 11 years of play the school having won it the most times will become permanent possessor of this valued trophy. Dr. Tedrow of this city donated the shoe.
