Its members are composed of officers of grades nine through twelve. The Council instituted the popular Color Day—the day on which the students wore blue and gold to show school spirit. The well-received Comet Booster Button was also a Student Council project. At a district meeting in Williams Bay, delegates discussed school problems with other Councils. Remember May 3? Under Council guidance the student body took over the teaching at D.H.S. It was good experience and loads of fun. B. Dickmon. J. Boutell . C. Stev.n , Mr. Kleyemteuber.

CARl KIEYEN5TEUBER—Princ«pol C. H. WI LEMAN—Superintendent ANN VAUGHN- Secretory SCHOOL BOARD Mr. Ralph Ackerman. President Mr. Merrill Erickson Mrs. Robert Betzer Mr. Rudolph Lange Mr. Edgar Sikes Some unknown person, no doubt someone with graying holr, once soid, Youth ii tveh o wonderful time of life! Too bod thot it i» wotted on young people. The implication of thot anonymous and noitolgic wH it that the opportunities of youth are to great that the witdom of age is necetsory to take full odvontoge of them. As it is impossible for young people to have the wisdom of age, the youthful yeort are, therefore, wasted in purposeless activities. Anyhow fhot appears to be the reasoning of that older person, who really wos just yearning to be young agoin. I presume that it could be said thot the school exists because of society's attempt to bring wisdom into thit wonderful time of life. Yet youth often falls to see it that way. With some justification young people may feel thot school is just a complicated restriction of their liberties and opportunities under the excuse of learning a lot of truthful but quite unimportant information. There is a constant conflict between the old and the young usually over the subject of whot is good for the young. The old ore inclined to prescribe for youth a formula of orderliness and disciplined conduct os the most satisfactory method of achieving security and hoppiness. Youth oppears to believe thot free expression of mind ond body unrestricted by the artificial responsibilities of society will produce a completely satisfying happiness and the conflict it never completely resolved except by the pasting of time ond young people become old people ond—for the most port—adopt the same ottitudes towards youth that their elders possessed. It hos been my duty ond pleasure to observe Delovon High School students in their mony curricular and co-curricular activities. They hove o light manner under which they hide their serous concern for the important things in school life. They hove o serious and thorough woy in which they go about the lighter things of their existence. The impression speaks well for the Delavan of the future. I hope and believe that Delavan young people are realising the full possibilities of their youth. If, when these young people ore old, they fail to find anything more than o wisp of humor in the statement Youth is such a wonderful time—loo bad that it it wosted on young people. then they moy know thot their own youth wos both wonderful and unwosted. -4-
