Mr. Thompson X Wlwvws THREE STALWARTS GF SECONDARY EDUCATION ,M-..,.,-vuwP Mrs. Stephenson Mr. Wolfrum ln appreciation ot their many years ot devoted service in the tield ot education generally and at Englewood in par- ticular, the 1953 Purple and White is affectionately and re- spectfully dedicated to Mr, Thompson, Mrs. Stephenson, and Mr. Woltrum. t lt is a pleasure to note that continuous close association with young people has kept these three stalwarts ot secondary education young and vigorous in spirit and outlook, open- minded, ever receptive to new knowledge, and eager and able to continue to impart know-how, insight, and wisdom to others. Perhaps the most valuable result ot all education is the ability to make yourselt do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not, it is the tirst lesson that ought to be learned, and however early a mans training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly. - Thomas Henry Huxley

THE STUDENT COUNCIL OUR OWN CONGRESS ln a number of ways Englewood's Student Council is comparable to the Congress ot the United States, and a boy or girl who does good work as a member of our Council thereby is taking a preparatory step toward a creditable political career. One of the Student Councils major annual projects has been the spring clean-up cam- paign. This has included, in addition to actual clean-up activities on the school campus, the sponsorship of an all-school slogan writing con- test as well as stimulation of voluntary dirt elimination in the home and the community. For its accomplishments along this line in 1952, Englewood was awarded a plaque at the clean-up luncheon last Iune. Moreover, in the fall of 1952, two Englewood students won hon- orable mention certificates in the city-wide slogan contest conducted in cooperation With the English classes in Chicago's high schools. One of these was Iulius Harrington. His Win- ning slogan was: Make Chicago dirt free in '53. The other was Claudette Wilson. She won with the plea to Make Chicago the home ot cleanliness. This is something to be justly proud oi. But it is only a start compared to what will be expected in the future, for the Student Coun- cil has transformed the annual clean-up cam- paign into a continuous year-round activity. lts Clean-Up Committee, under the chairman- ship of Barbara Lane, is determined to do away with dirt in the school and the community. STUDENT COUNCIL SPONSORS SALE OF TICKETS As is well known, the Student Council plays a leading role in the sale of tickets for all of the schools athletic contests as well as for various other school undertakings. Among other of its activities is a Mum Sale com- monly conducted once during each football season. Last year it was carried through just before the DuSable game, and, as usual, it not only netted a handsome profit tor the Student Council fund but also stimulated attendance and spirit at the game.
