THE PIONEER VB! IGH The Student Council is linked closely with the student body by means of the various committees.

The committees of the Senior high school are as follows: l. Traffic--lvliss hflildred Brady, llfliss lValler-Francis Petrosino. 2. Athletic-llflr.

Closer relationship and a lceener understanding of affairs around the school between the council and the student body is maintained by home room periods which are held once a month. The students at these informal meetings in their home rooms discuss unsatisfactory conditions prevalent throughout the school and offer helpful remedies for them. Suggestions set forth in these periods have proved most helpful to the Council. Before the close of the school year a new Student Council will have been elected. It is only proper that we take advantage of this opportunity to wish the future Student Council members great success in whatever they may undertake to do. DEAN GRANDIN '32. 39

THE PIONEER VBS -MVS THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION HE machinery of student government started off well this year, the commfs- sion form of government having already been firmly installed within the school the preceding year. Elections of representatives to the Student Coun- cfl from each home room were carried on quickly and efliciently. The year has been a highly successful one for the Student Council. Regular sessions of the Council have been instituted on the second and fourth Thursday of each month. On the second Thursday the Senior High School Council meets apart from the Junior High School Council and on the fourth Thursday they hold a joint meeting. The Commission meets every Friday, the second period. The members of the Commission are: Brandon Blades, chairmang Dean Grandin, secretaryg Willard Ortlip, treasurerg VJilliam Fosolo, Karl Metz, and Clark Foster. The hrst four listed are of the senior high school and the latter two of the junior high school. The faculty advisers are lbir. Thompson, lVIrs. Rehberg, Miss lVIaud Brady, lVIr. Strong, and llflr. Stukeyg the last named is a permanent honorary member of the Council. The faculty advisers have proved invaluable to the Council and have fully cooperated with it in all its enterprises. as

THE PIONEER val 'IGF THE HONOR SOCIETY HE idea of several of the faculty that proficiency in scholarship should receive greater recognition by the high school has culminated in the formation of the honor society, which is composed of those seniors and juniors who stand high- est in their class work, The charter members of the society were chosen from the senior class only, but in January one senior and the three juniors who are outstanding in scholarship and all-round ability were added to the society. No definite organization has yet been decided upon but lN'Irs. Foley has been chosen as faculty adviser to be assisted by lvliss Waller. It is planned to link the society with one of the national ones, but no steps can be made to carry out this aim until the society is organized. It is expected that the society will not only reward high marks, but will enable its members to prove of real benefit and service to the school in various ways. The charter members of the honor society are: Evelyn Binder, Philip Ciancio, Doris Deutsch, Carey Johansen, Dorothy llfluchmore, Fred Oman, Virginia Oman, Marjorie Ortlip, Mary Scott, and Hector Zucchino. Those students added in Jan- uary are Mildred Yach, senior, Dean Grandin, Katherine Krall, and Agnes Walsh. EVELYN BINDER '3l. wif 40 3.3,.,,-
