SENIOR STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS DICK COLLINGE . President ELOISE MITCHELL Secretary DICK OTTO . . . . . . Vice President TED STROUD . . , ...Treasurer The Senior Student Council started the year off with a bang by sponsoring the major pep meeting of the year with the traditional bonfire and a snake dance which was climaxed by a dance in the gymnasium, the twenty-first. After several games the council served refreshments to the visiting teams as well as our own teams. Feeling a need for a larger variety of clubs, the council investigated and were responsible for the rebirth of the Chefs Club and the Hi-Y, both of which had formerly been active clubs in the school. On October twentieth, the annual Homecoming Dance was held in the gymnasium, and the election and the Coronation of the king and queen were under the direction of the council. A mock election was enacted with the help of Miss MacDonald on November fifth. By way of public relations, the council corresponded with visiting schools. At Christmas time, twenty baskets, which had been filled by the students, were delivered to needy families by members of the council and other workers. A large Christmas tree was purchased and decorated for the Christmas assemblies. During the year entertainment was provided for the students in the form of hag-stag parties. In the patriotic mode, several paper sales were sponsored by the council, and the honor roll was revised and brought up to date. New accomplishments included: the founding of a school store, the editing of a school hand- book, and the merging of the Board of Directors with the Council. 12

BOARD OF DIRECTORS Heading the financial affairs of the school, is the Board of Directors. This board was organized in 1930 and has been in operation each year since. 1945 marks the close of the board. It is to be merged with the student council. This seldom-heard-of group is, nevertheless, very busy with considering unend- ing requests from organizations to raise money by sponsoring projects, such as movies and food sales. In the spring when other groups are closing their affairs, the real work of the board begins, for it is then that expense estimates must be compiled and balanced, and that the proposed school budget is prepared. The budget is then submitted to the Board of Education. The board elected Bill Wells chairman and lack Peterson secretary. The spon- sors were Miss Iohnson, Mr. Fuller, and Mr. Hinchey. 11

JUNIOR STUDENT COUNCIL Although the Iunior Student Council includes representatives from only grades seven, eight, and nine, the group is a busy one and is doing an outstanding piece of work. The purpose of the council is to promote school spirit and friendly relations between faculty and students, to develop the ideals and practices of good citizenship, and to formulate and regulate activities that pertain to the school as a whole. Its meetings are on Wednesdays when there is work to be done and at other times on call. The council promotes club activities and provides experience in organization to as many stu- dents as possible. It hopes to make the seventh grade better acquainted with high school than its members have been in the past. This is a democratic organization, each representative participat- ing in the discussions and laying of plans for the betterment of the junior high school.
