Student Qouncil h Student Council is a school organization consisting of the presidents of the three upper classes, three Seniors, two Juniors, one Sophomore and one Freshman. It meets with Mr. Baer the first Monday of each month to discuss various prepositions which from time to time come up in the school. It is the only organization by which the voice of the students is heard. The two most important sessions of the Student Council this year were to decide on a program for the business men of Danville, and the Home Coming program. The student Council has had a successful year and hopes the future students of D. H. S. will continue to hold it as high. 2= 3= K Page Sixteen
