' 5- Q' ll '.g' STUDENT COUNCIL OF 1947-48. The Student Council as an active organization was first instituted in the fall term of 1943. Special credit for the idea of having a Student Council here at Suomi goes to Karlo Keljo, who pioneered the idea in that year. On Sep- tember l5, 1943, fifteen students signed a petition in favor of creating a Student Council, and this petition was recognized by the faculty on October 11, 1943. With the approval of the petition, work was begun in setting up a workable council. The Planning Committee drew up the co-nstitution and presented it to the faculty in February of 1944, and the council held their first meeting on April 19, 1944. The purpose of the Student Council is best summed up in its aims, as found in the constitution. They are as follows: Qlj To coordinate extra curricular activities, Q25 To convey student opinion to the faculty and vice versa, To provide training in self-government, To maintain school traditions, To familiarize the new student with Suomi Life. With the opening of this school year, the returning members of last year's council carried on the work until the new delegation of representatives were chosen. The newly elected representatives this year were: Mfilho- Elson, Eli Lepis- to, Philip Luttio, George Hautala, Carl Tamminen, Reynold Hiltunen, and Dorothy Kinnon. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: president, Philip Luttio, vice-president, Carl Tamminen, and secretary, Dorothy Kinnon. The Student Council thisyear took active part in arranging many of the student activities. It sponsored a Color Tour of,Keweenaw Point in the Fall, a Welcome Party, a Halloween Party ,a Christmas Party, and a Spring Outing. The council also planned and sponsored the various programs for our weekly CO11VOC2lt101'1S. y P Page forty-six
