DANCES, PAST AND FUTURE Another type of popular activity which the Council helps put over is an occasional dance. The one held last semester was well attended and kept all who participated merrily happy for two and a half hours. A peppy orchestra a vibrant vocalist, and free cokes contributed much to the good cheer which filled the air. The current semester promises to be par- ticularly pleasing to the boys and girls who love to trip the light fantastic. One dance has al- ready been held. Its main purpose was to wel- come the freshmen in a fitting fashion. Another dance is being planned for the near future. And under consideration for shortly after the .S-W, spring vacation is a noon-hour dance. lf this innovation proves successful, it will probably be adopted as an annual event in years to come. FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES All who were there will recall the pleasant touch of familiar theatrical atmosphere which the Student Council added at the Arizona- l:'ernando operetta. The Council did this by selling cokes and candy between the acts. Of course, raising money for this or that purpose in this or that way is nothing new for the Student Council. It sponsors all student drives for funds, STUDENT COUNCIL fGroup ZI Freshman and Sopho- more Delegates Miss O'Reilly Row 1: G. Seals, V. Brown, I. Vinyard, A. Ienkins, I. Allen, V. Var- nado, S.

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.

MEMGRY LING'-ERS ON Long will be remembered the gaiety and glamor, the rhythm and harmony, the song and laughter, the romance and folk feeling which made the stage of our old auditorium a place of pleasure-giving magic on the night of No- vemloer 2l, l952. Then it was that, under the creative direction of Ioseph C. Thompson, our principal, a cast of Englewood students, gave a triumphant performance of the ildouble- header operetta, Meet Arizona and False Fernando. George Wakefield Cadman come posed the music and George Murray Brown 1-:rote the lyrics for the Arizona piece. The Fernando score is by Roy Stoughton, its lioretto the work of David Stevens. Gay scenes from delightful Arizona-Fernando Operetta. l6
