STUDENT COUNCIL AAA Senior Representatives Junior Representatives.... Sophomore Representatives President........ Secretary........ (JEAN WILSHIRE ) JACK ROWAND i ELIZABETH HARDESTY JOHN ULLOM I BETTY JANE MOORE (JOHN FEAR JACK ROWAND ....JEAN WILSHIRE JE Student Council consists of represen- tatives of the student body, elected by the popular vote ot the class which they represent. There are two representa- tives from each class, one boy and one girl. The aim of this organization is: “To create and maintain a strong school spirit among the student, and to promote better relationship be- tween the faculty and the student body.” This organization was formed about nineteen years ago, and each year it has grown stronger and better in the understanding of its duties and is now one of the most important factors of the school’s government. This year, in order to establish a uniform commencement invitation, the Student Council met with the senior committee on invitations in order to establish a satisfactory one for the next three years. The Council wishes to establish a precedent by which more students in our high school may obtain letters. Heretofore boys on the football and basketball teams, and girls obtaining a cer- tain amount of points were the only ones who received letters. An attempt is now being made to give a larger representation of the students a chance to make a letter by awarding a letter to members of the tennis, track, and several other teams. This will be done by setting up certain standards in each field. The Student Council is a necessary part of the high school’s organization. It provides the link between the administration and the students as well as assisting in the activities of the school. 15
