School Board Purchases New Equipment When the band was reorganized at the be- ginning of the school year, it increased in mem- bership to nearly twice its previous size. The School Board purchased three new instruments which were heartily received and welcomed by the band members. New shop equipment was also bought and this, the future mechanics tell us, is of a great advantage to them. The sound equipment, welcomed the most by the student body in general, has proved very advantageous. By sound equipment we mean the movie projector and its sound effect. There are two great advantages in having this equip- ment. They are as follows: l. We are able to see in a few minutes what it took perhaps months to prepare. An example of this is the life of some insect. We are able to see the insect in all its stages of life, and we know that it 0 takes more than ten minutes for an insect to grow completely. 2. The correct explanation of a picture comes at just the right time. This really is important, it would be discouraging to look at one slide and have a different one ex- plained. Near the end of the year new band uniforms were purchased. Most of the money for buying these was raised by outside activi- ties in which the student body participated. Therefore, we wish at this time, to thank all the members of the Board, not only for this new equipment, but for all the things they do which are a benefit to the school and the student body. The members of the Board of Education for this year are as follows: lf. W. ROliliR'l'S, 1'l'cu'f1fc11f EMIL T. LUECK OSCAR STl'ilQGlf, Sl't'I'z'Iz11'y P. WV. RAUSCHERT C. VV. IIRANKF FRANK E.

To Our Seniors: May I commend you on your achievement thus far, but more particularly congratulate you on the rich heri- tage with which you are naturally endowed, the superior advantages and the incomparable opportunities that are yours for the future. Fortune has given you parents that believe in their childrens' well beingg your community has provided a superior school with a diversified program and a choice of fine churches for a sound, stimulating philosophy of life. It is your good fortune to be a natural citizen of the world's most favored nation. Here true democ- racy reigns supreme, unbound by class or creed. Every man is really the maker of his own clestinyg actually the master of his own soul. Yours is a rich heritage. Yours is a great opportunity. While much scientific progress has been made in the last half century we have but begun. It has been well said, nothing is done finally and right, nothing is known positively and com- pletely. That in science 991, of the knowable has to be discovered, Chemistry and Physics are little more than a sparkling mass of questions. The best picture has not yet been paintedg the greatest poem is still un- isfactorily for longg no business has been built or man- aged perfectly, no railroad run rightly, and no automo- bile designed incapable of many improvements. Nor have we begun the solutions to the social prob- lems created by our present degree of scientific advance- ment. To revert the primitive labor and a simple machineless, motionless society is unthinkable. We must not degenerateg we must adapt ourselves to a continu- ously increasing complex and interdependent society. YOU must face forward, think, and solve-not fail, falter, and subterfuge. Yours is a great opportuinty. Yours is a grave responsibility. Capital and labor must be made to realize their mutual dependenceg that one can succeed only on the success of the other. Con- flict carried on for centuries must be changed to close cooperation and sympathetic helpfulness. Nations must be taught to lives in peace and harmony and men must learn to live in Christian brotherhood. Most of our hope for these lies beyond our generation, yours is a grave responsibility. Surely, with your priceless heritage and your unparalleled opportunity you will accept the full measure of responsibility that is yoursg you must not, you will not fail. sung, and the mightiest novel remains to be written. Sincerely, In effect no plumber has fashioned a faucet to fit sat- H. D. IACOBS, Principal. H. D. IACOBS, P,-ifipal B. S. Kent State College, University of Illinois, University of Chicago, M. A.

Student Council Supervises School Conduct Since the noon-day movies have always been obtained through the Student Council, this year that student governing body hit upon a very splendid and economical plan. By purchasing an educational film and depositing it in the sound film library of the University of Illinois, the Council has secured the use of all the other films in the library for a period of three years. These noon-day movies are held on Tuesday of every week. This provides a highly refreshing and entertaining educational recess between the morning and after school sessions. The Council has doubled its membership with the plan in mind that at the beginning of next year, it will be better able to organize and begin functioning immediately with a Council com- posed of sixteen old members and sixteen newly elected members. The main purpose of the Student Council is to unite the entire school and to encourage co- operative living by means of student opinion and government. Among its numerous activities, the Council publishes the Student Guide Book which is put out semi-annuallly, sponsors the various edu- cational and entertaining Lyceum programs given throughout the year, made possible by cum money obtained from the candy booth, another matter strictly in the hands of the Student Coun- cil. This body also carries on a Citizenship veto program instead of the former merit and de- merit system. lt has established a citizenship club to encourage commendable school conduct and to develop good citizenship traits in every student in Dundee High School. The ping pong tournament carried on for the past several years is still in the hands of the Student Council and invariably is a source of fun and interest to a great part of the students. Again this year the Student Council shared in putting on the holiday dance during the Christmas season-a gala affair to which every student eagerly looks forward. The Student Council, composed of eight members from the upper classes and four from each of the two lower classes, holds its meetings semi-monthly at which, under the guidance and advice of the principal of the school and two advisory faculty members, the necessary prob- lems, perplexities, and business affairs are dis- cussed and oftentimes solved. The officers for this year are as follows: Raymond Kribs ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Prg-,vidfnl Florence lhrkc .... ,,,,,,,,,,.,, Vice-I'rc5irlenz Carolyn La ng ,. . ....,.., Srw'z'1a1'y-Trfaxzirer
