Senior High Student Council Will the meeting come to order? became the most common phrase in president John Woodhead's vocabulary, as weekly, assisted by vice-president Walt Sirene, he conducted the meetings of the Student Council. It was John's duty to keep order through the many spirited discussions on school plans and problems. Secretary Sally Fredrickson kept the records of all the business meetings, while treasurer Homer Knearl kept his eye on the council's money. Many new decisions were made and new policies were adopted this year by the council. Among these were a clothing rule and a lunch hour program which set aside rooms for studying, dancing, and watching movies. All policies were strictly enforced by the ethics committee. Aside from the serious business of the school, the council took time to provide several dances and other forms of entertainment for the students. The first of these was Homecoming, followed by the twin-sweater dance which was based on a Sadie Hawkins theme. During Christmas vacation, Toyland, the annual toy dance, was given for both students and alumni. An innovation this year was the Western Welcome, a carnival-party for all new students in the school. Every organization was invited to sponsor a booth and share in its profits. The new students were each given a strip of five tickets to be used in any of the booths, varying from a jail to a Las Vegas casino. In February, a student council meeting was held before the student body so that everyone could see and understand how the central governing system of the school operated. 12

Blood, Senior High Junior Red Helping others, both in the United States and aroad, was the main undertaking of the Junior Red ross Council. This year it was new to them to work one without the Junior High Council, but with the ;lp of various organizations, the Senior-High council lone carried out its plans efficiently. Of the many projects sponsored during the year, the ost important was the gift box drive. To help fill Dxes, many homerooms held auctions and reported at this was a very successful money raising device, te pyramid of boxes in the main hall grew daily itil, at the end of the drive it consisted of nearly five jndred boxes to be sent to needy children. Various Cross Council homerooms again gave their support by helping to fill over a dozen large gift chests for overseas schools needing school supplies. The council's various committees each worked on their own projects. An album committee took over the difficult job of preparing scrap-books which showed the life at Edina-Morningside. The choir and the band made recordings which accompanied these albums to foreign schools. Under the direction of Frank Greenagle, president; Leroy Lee, vice-president; Kirsten Kannenberg, secretary; Katy Kelly, treasurer; and the advisor. Miss Tow-ler, the council completed a very successful year.
