The Student Council this year, as last, was chosen by the student body for the purpose of imoroving the school. It consists of eight students - a boy and a girl from each class. This year the group was under the guidance of Miss Jacquat. At the first meeting the election of officers was held, The results were: president, wayne Sandmang vice-president, Jean Hardenberghg secretary-treasurer, Marilyn Richardson. The annual open house was the council's first project. It was held in the evening early in the year, and began with a program which was followed by room visitation and refresh- ments. Other work of the council consisted of a Sadie Haw- kins party, dances after basketball games, and the Christmas decorations throughout the school during the Christmas season The biggest project of all was the cadet system, begun during the second semester. Cadets were placed in the halls every hour to check students' passes, and to cut down unnec- essary waste of time. Since this was only the council's second year, the path was found to be still a little rugged, but the members and most of the students feel that the Student Council is a worth while organization, and would like to see it continue.
