The Junior Council A need was felt among the junior high students for an executive and legislative group of boys and girls who would further the activities of the younger division at George Washington. The Junior Council, which fills this need, is composed of a representative from each seventh and eighth grade classroom, a president, vice-presi- dent and a secretary. The functions of this organization are varied and are carried through by dif- ferent committees. Every semester a party is given for the incoming B7's. The benefit committee aids every Christmas in charity work, and the Scholarship com- mittee sponsors the advancement of good grades. During the spring semester and fall, athletic tournaments are carried on among the boys' classrooms. There have been three semesters of active work by the Junior Council. The first semester found lVIiss Helen Scheck in charge, who in turn was succeeded by Mr. Peter Kuhlberger. Ofiicers for each semester have been: Summer '29: Robert Drobnis, presidentg Clara Kaufhold, vice-president, lone Grebenstein,.secretary. Winter '30: Betty Yungling, president, Ed lVIcDermot, vice-presidentg Peggy Lewis, secretary. Summer '30: Wallace Davidson, presidentg Lyle Keneworthy, vice-presidentg Gwendolyn Wyatt, secretary. The president attends the weekly meetings of the cabinet and in turn reports to the council. . e' Page Nineteen
