1. t EIIT0HIAL3 The Student Council at F. H. S. 4 Our Student Council Is made up of one representative from each class. W« have two seniors In It because one is our president. We fre each supposed to do our Job well for the general good of our own class or the school itself. Sometimes our patient and long suffering president, Messier, has a hard time to keep us all calm, under his control, and to the point, but somehow he manages; we don t know how. We do all we can for the school Itself, and try to make our council work for the general good »f it. Some of our members are very active in it, maybe too much so at time?, and others are not active enough when they should express their own •pinion». We try to pleaee everyone but usually after a meeting some representative is disgusted or even enraged at the others. We often misunderstand each other or the adviser,and sometimes the adviser misunderstands us. But, that all goes with a law making body. Also, sometimes we fail to reach decisions on some topic because we can't decide what we do want. In this case,almost always, someone has to give in to the ethers. Although we sometimes get off the pcint we end up in some kind of decision which doesn't please everyone In the school. But, wo have learned that we can't plea.se everyone. We ore ell trying to do our best, to the best of our ability and the best we know hoV. We know we get crltlolsed at times but Just remember, the student council members were voted In by you. We all thiflk our president 1« doing a very good J»b. If you, ns a class member, would like to have something dis- cussed in the Student Council and voted upon, speah to your class representative and he will do his best. So from this point of view, let's all get together, try to understand our Student Council better, and make the best use of the Student Council itself.
