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.

e Seniors National Honor Socfbfy The National Honor Society was estab- lished to stimulate the scholarship of the students in the high schools. The selection for membership is based on scholarship, character, leadership, and service. The up- per one-third in scholarship is voted on by the seniors and the faculty, with this rec- ommendation a faculty committee elects the members. The officers chosen by the organization this year are James Bain, president, Ross Walker, vice president, and Gertrude Stone, secretary. Other members are Bill Biles, Virginia Coffman, Mary Eva Brown, Kel- ley Caldwell, Marjorie Cooper, Byron Cox, Laird Crocker, Marjorie Doyle, Dorothy Ewing, Peggy Fite, Charles Fullinwider, Patty Gore, Ervin Grant, J. B. Hanks. Jeanne Hess, Frank Jensen, Marjorie Jones, Mary Kriftewirth, William McKinney, Joe Moreland, Mary Ruth Murray, Bob Riegle, Eda Rodenkirch, Dick Schmidt, Dick Shields, Harold Steadham, and Dorothy Straubinger. The society's sponsor, Miss Mabel McCar- ty, instructs the members as to the purpose of the organization and directs the initiation ceremonies. She deserves real credit for her work with the organization. The valedictorian for the class of '42 is Charles Fullinwider. The salutatorian is Marjorie Jones. These honors seem fitting rewards for two students who have gained respect from teachers and fellow classmates alike for their outstanding scholarship. ii, l voteofctoamm cuss, FUl.LlNWlDER Z ,, , ,,,,, sfxruiffiiosleiifixxs l i MARJORIE semis ,I A 1 4 Q
