WERNER CEDERBERG Sometime in the ea.rly part of the year 1921, it was decided that Fenger should have an honor society. Therefore a committee consisting of Mr. Piper, chairman, Miss Stratton, who is now dean of girls in Parker Hi h School, and Miss Margaret Taylor planned for the organization of a club. gllhe committee was sent to various schools in order that it might incorporate into the constitution of this organization the best sections of the constitutions of other societies. To create enthusiasm for excellent scholarship, to promote effective leader- ship, to make good students acquainted with each other, and to promote a friend- lier feeling between the students and the faculty is the purpose of the Phorex. Members of the club are the honor students of the school, those who have a general average of excellent in their studies. The present Phorex consists of the great number of two hundred thirty-two members, quite in contrast with the membership of the first class which had but forty-seven members. At the first meeting this semester the officers were elected. The groups from each year being responsible for a program, the members enjoyed four very fine programs through the work of Reno Rosi, Anna Petriekes, Mar- guerite Harmeling. In the programs, piano selections, recitations, and vocal solos were rendered. Mr. Hill suggested that the Phorex appoint a committee to give out informa- tion to the seniors concerning the scholarships and to inform the freshmen when first they enter the school as to the necessary requirements. The Club discussed the question but no definite conclusion was arrived at, however. . The Club now has a new faculty adviser, Miss Sarah jane Thomas, through whose leadership and guidance, the Phorex has had a very successful year. Since the beginning of the Phorex there have been forty-two pupils who have received permanent pins. Samuel Vlfenberg, the first vice-president, was the first person to gain this distinction. A student must maintain an average of E for three and one-half years of the school period. Of the February '29 class, seven members are entitled to this honor. THE RETURN The years go swiftly by, and still, And as we watch the game, and cheer On each Thanksgiving day, Our team in victory Vile find that somehow our hearts Or in defeat, with hope or fear, thrill VVe feel as one, and see As we return to pay That once more we, in spirit, have New tribute to our Alma Mater's come home! name. -Florence Liridell, june, l926. lPage 25

L Ewis SPRIETSMA The Students' Council, the law-making body of the school, was established three years ago. At that time a Constitution was drawn up which has been modi- fied so many times since, that it is hardly recognizable. The Council is made up of representatives from each division room-two from each senior and junior room and one from each sophomore and freshman room. These representatives are selected for one semester and their duties are to bring up before the Council matters that they consider will benefit the school. Because of the large scope of work the Constitution has been altered in two ways. Formerly the mayor, a 4A, was nominated by both the 4A and 4B class members. This has been changed so that now just the members of the 4B class, of which the mayor is a member, may assemble and choose the latter officer. Also because of the great increase in the students at Fenger the number of repre- sentatives from each year has been reduced. Formerly the seniors were allowed four representatives, the juniors three, the sophomores two, and the freshmen one. This semester the Students' Council has been active in beautifying the school. A special day was set aside as Fenger's Arbor Day for the planting of shrubs. The money for the shrubs was donated by the Fenger Students. In the afternoon of December fourth pupils were excused from classes to do the planting. In order to insure the cleanliness of the school several new waste cans were provided for the corridors and frequent inspections of lockers were conducted. A strict hallguard system was adopted to curb the noise and disorder in the halls. The Fire Marshal, Werner Cederberg, has supervised many fire drills. Thru the efforts of the Council, Christmas baskets were provided for the poor and needy families of the community. Evidences show that the Students' Council has well performed its functions.
