STUDENT COUNCIL L. to R.: M. Pinkham, K. Faulk, D. North, L. Morgan, B. Nohren, D. George, M. McDonell, J. Eastman, Miss Cloney, P. King, J. Glbbona. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council has changed, like most other organizations, from war efforts to the directions of peace. Our sale of war bonds and stamps last year occupied most of our time. We started the year by sponsoring a very successful parade and the best-attended dance In the school’s history for Homecoming. It required lots of work but was loads of fun. Bill Nohren, our President has been kept very busy and has done a fine Job. The other officers elected were: Dick George, Vice-President; and Delora North, Secretary-Treasurer. Our all-school party, March fifth was attended by students, and faculty members. The party began with a general assembly In the auditorium where a program was given. Following the program each student chose his own form of entertainment. Dancing, active games, ping pong and bingo were offered In various parts of the building. In the spring a party for Just council members was held. The Council also sponsored an outdoor party for all the students In school. -8-
