Is A Flame Of Action Roger Balk, the Student Council president, is the headlight who activates all the Student Council members. His presidential career began when he was elected in the spring of 1947. During the first week of school in September, he showed his ability by organizing an effec- tive student government. The Student Council has realized its wise choice by the many successful meetings over which he has presided. Under his supervision sev- eral needed amendments have been added to the schools constitution. As you can see, he has proved himself to be a most competent and willing leader, one who is responsible for the smooth running of the entire student government. Much of the success of tliis year ' s Student Council can be accredited to Roger Balk. Roger Balk, President Commissioners Top Row: MARILYN HAMANN, Commissioner of Prism.

The Student Council The flame of action is a government of the students, by the students, and for the students. Be- cause of our liberal faculty, we are fortunate enough to be able to make our own laws, to abide by them, and to punish those who break them. By actually controlling the government of the school, we train ourselves to be better citizens. This active body which touches everyone is motivated by the president, Roger Balk. The four- teen commissioners are on the beam to be always ready to serve the school.
