IUDIUNCEIIII. The Student Council has proven to be a great advancement in the life at Deering during its three years of existence. In the latter part of 1944, when plans for a Student Government were Hrst introduced from the student body, there was a great deal of opposition, but through the Organization Committee's relentless efforts, the Constitution was finally ratified by three- fourths of the school. The success of 1947's Council rested in the united support of all students and the effort made by the various appointed committees. Miss Dolley, faculty advisor, devoted much of her time and consideration to the Council. The Installation Assembly was held January 17 with Dr. Lyseth and Don McLaughlin as guest speakers. Sworn in as officers beside Miss Josslyn were Laurence F. Wfhittemore, Vice President, Elaine McFarland, Secretary, Inga I-Iaugaard, Treasurer, Allan Karcher and William Stubbs, Clerks, and David Powers, Sergeant-at-Arms. The council brought about some very noteworthy accomplishments. On November 1, a Halloween dance with entertainment drew a huge crowd from Deering and other local schools. A night rally and dance, also given in November, further increased the Council's financial standing. A hne Assembly Program providing for two assemblies or more each month of the year was outlined, and, with the cooperation of the dramatic coaches, these assemblies were presented on the stage. Helen Bernstein headed the committee which worked out this schedule. A Christmas Petition Committee, appointed by vote of the Council in answer to the students' pleas for a two day extension of the holidays, resulted in success because of the uorderly manner in which it was donef' Norma Jannell's Scrapbook Committee made a scrapbook containing all the school events of 1946 and 1947. The Student Council is now a vital institution at Deering--not as an extra curriculum activity-but as a democratic, student governing body protecting the interests of all.
