In the weekly sessions of student council the leaders of our school met to discuss the current issues most bothersome to the student body. Problems, how- ever, were just a part of their work. They promoted social activity by parties, such as the one after the Sectional tournament and the two All-School parties, Fall Fes- tival and Iinx jubilee. Members also selected the assembly program speakers for the year and took turns introducing them. An interesting project this year was the sanding of the desks in 246, also various homecoming plans. All presidents of school organizations, captains of the athletic teams, class representatives, and editors of publications are members of student council.
