'l'he student. council could be known as De- corah High School's annually elected youth con- gress, for it is composed of people that have been elected by popular vote of the student body to decide issues ot' importance that arise during the school year. lts members include the presidents ot' all the classes, clubs and other organizations, the editors ot' all the publications, the captains of all teams and their respective coaches, all faculty advisers ot' classes, clubs and organizations and the otticers ot' the student body. The president. of the student body presides at all the meetings. 'l'he work ot' the student. council this year, aside from the approving of letter awards to students, was centered mainly around the plan- ning of the D. H. S. IIOIl10l'OIIllllQ'. Besides selecting the date for the honleconiing celebration and making general plans. the coun- cil decreed that petitions for a ll0lIll't'UllllllQ' queen and her court should be passed aniong the students. lt was decided that only seniors would be eligible for the royal title. and that one ot the 1lllPt'll'S four attendants would be elected from each olf the four classes. After supervising the decorating ol' the halls and goal posts, the governing body sponsored a parade of the class tloats and the band through the business district ot' Decorah. 'l'he climax ol' this day was the gaxne with New Ilanipton in the evening. 'l'he student council may well be satisfied with its success in conducting this gala evcnt.
