191 STUDENT COUNCIL DURING the first week of school, the DeVilbiss Student Council was organized. The Council, which numbers seventy members in all, is composed of a representative from each home room. At the first meeting, George Schaiberger was elected president. It was then he appointed various senior members of Council to serve as commissioners or the advisory group to the rest of the Council. This organization has as its purpose the promotion of student interest and spirit so as to afford an opportunity for a greater measure of student control in more group affairs, and to promote the general welfare of the school. All questions arising Within the Council are, of course, subject to the approval of the principal. The Council issues all club charters and has definite rules for club operations. Any clubs failing to abide with these rules can not be rechartered. Many projects have been accomplished by this organization. That which is probably the most outstanding is the publication of the new student Hand Book. This book is for the benefit of the students in order to have them become acquainted with the school. The constitution, the rules and regulations of the school, list of all the clubs, the school song and code, and many important, but little known, facts pertaining to the school in general, are to be found in this useful little book. Under the capable direction of Mr. Diller, Dean of boys, a Student Court was established by the Justice Commission for the purpose of punishing students. The trials are solemn, and the punishment of the culprit is swift and just. Another project put across by the Student Council, with the cooperation of the student body and faculty, was the obtaining of a combination phonograph and radio set for the school in general. This set was given to DeVilbiss for collection of twenty-five hundred records. The radio and phonograph are very useful and the student body should be thankful to the Student Council for such a presentation. Besides these various projects, Welfare Work of the school has been capably handled by the Student Council with the assistance of the Senior Class Welfare Committee. ritla.

Mary MacDermid THE Prism, school newspaper, is published bi-Weekly by the staff in connection with the journalism class of DeVilbiss high school. Since it is outstanding among papers, it has been granted a charter by Quill and Scroll, international honor society for high school journalists, and from this received an international Hrst class honor rating. VVhile there is guidance and advice on the part of the faculty adviser, Miss Rose Bloom, the Prism is wholly a student publication and in all departments is written and edited by the students. Subscriptions and advertising support it financially. In addition to the routine of publishing the paper, the staff also participated in outside contests and activities. Representing the Prism were sixteen students who, on November 10, went to Columbus, Ohio, to attend the annual state convention. Among the group that went, a number of them participated in contests and still another group took part in a demonstration conducted by Miss Bloom. Miss Bloom led a round table discussion on interviewing at Ohio State University. After contributing to various contests sponsored by Quill and Scroll during the year, Dave Perry, Wayne Babcock, Florence Buser, Jean Platt, Betty Adams and Walter Weese received honorable mention in the respective contests to which they submitted. The 1934-1935 staff hopes it has fulfilled its purpose in keeping up-to-date records of DeVil- biss activities throughout the year and its policy to break school life into colorful news.
