Take your number and please stay in line! Apparently this was the pet expression of the members of the Student Council who so suc- cessfully managed the cafeteria traf- lic during the past year. This is only one of the many projects that the Council undertook. Student busses for out of town games, outside artists for special convocations, pep-convos, Co-Hi's, help for the needy at home and abroad, Christmas baskets, Fifth- Quarter dances to earn funds for Seeds for Peace -all were effi- ciently handled. Under the guidance of Miss Veronica O'Neil they have worked hard this year through their own student government-to make de- mocracy in East High an even greater success. 6 STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICIERSSB.
