U 0 Student fauna! The High School Student Council, that group which sometimes can be seen sleeping in room 3-13 on Monday morning, is an or- ganization which functions to the best inter- ests of the E. H. S. student body. The Council organized a long-desired journalism club which through the generosity of The Butler County News publishes a weekly page, The Wildcat Scratches: The Council in an attempt to do its part for America aided in selling Defense Stamps, offered the services of our students to the Civilian De- fense Council, made contributions to the Red Cross, and took an increasing interest in community projects. The Council also sponsored assembly programs to bring for- ward the talents of the students. Through- out the year a committee composed of Miss Flaherty, faculty supervisor, Ross Lay- bourn, Dave Clymer, Patty Gore, Mary Ruth Murray, Catherine Clymer, Archie Leben, and Warren Ralston, planned and directed school dances. These varied activities of the council have on the whole been very suc- cessful. The following were the hard work- ing officers of the year 1941-1942: Mary Ruth Murray ............ President Archie Leben ....... ..... V ice-president Patty Gore ........ .......... S ecretary Charles Omer .. .... Faculty Advisor Board of Education To Superintendent J. F. Hughes and the Board of Education-Although your duties seldom bring you into direct contact with us, we the student body are surely apprecia- tive of the unselfish consideration you have given to our continuous needs.

For the past few years these pedagogues have had their hands full try- ing to mould the plastics that are our- selves. We have been so formless at times, We wonder that they could shape us at all. Our indifference to education might easily have made them think they were nursing sleeping-sickness victims. It has taken patience and ability to guide us successfully through our high school career, but our faculty possess these qualities to a high degree. They have been not only teachers but also friends-- friends who have left their indelible marks on our characters. In the years to come, after this book and the momories it holds may have been forgotten, they will be remembered. We are grateful for the privilege of being associated with such unselfish, highly-trained members of the teaching profession. To Principal E. L. Harms-leader of the flock, guiding light of our school- we are indeed grateful for the multitude responsibilities you have shouldered in our behalf and the innumerable Ways you have aided us with your wisdom and fore- sight.
