STUDENT COUNCIL Those people who sit in the halls and who open your locker when you forget your key are members of the student council. At Christmas time they decorated the hall with greens. This year they sponsored a dance in the gym after school besides an entertaining and educational group of seven lyceum programs at Central and five at Abbott. Mona Morgan gave a presentation of The Taming of the Shrewf, Bible's circus brought a well-trained collection of per- forming animals: pigeons, monkeys, ponies, dogs, and a bear. Max K. Gilstrap whistled his way to popularity, he imitated the birds of the western national parks, where he is a ranger. A charming young sprinter, Betty Robinson, carried her audi- ence with her to the Olympic Games in Amsterdam in 1928 and to the 1936 games held in Berlin. Some unusual bird pictures were brought by Cleveland Grant, who, using a high powered lens, got close-ups of birds. George A. Felch gave a story of the Amazon jungle and the Andes Mountains. Iill Edwards closed the series of programs with a personality talk. The Abbott Student Council acts as a helpful medium be- tween studentsgnd teachers. Their particular part is to assist in preserving the excellent morale to be found in the building by reporting petty annoyances and by co-operating in other constructive ways. STUDENT AUDITORIUM COMMITTEE For the first time a committee was elected by the student body this year to work with the faculty committee in the plan- ning of assembly programs. The purpose of the student coma mittee is to get the students' viewpoint. Although it was not chosen early enough to function all the year, it has shown the possibility of such a group.
