The student council represents the students, their attitudes, and their sug- gestions for school improve- ments. Allan Stuhlmiller, popular senior, was selected by student consent, as president of the stu- dent lcouncil. The students also elected Mary Lou Cole, petite junior, as vice-president. The council elected as secretaries Dorothy Victor and Jean Geiger, and Keith Jolls as treasurer. Not inclined to break tradition, the council continued the cus- tom of noon-heur movies, and weekly Monday night dancing classes for those individuals who desire to vie with Arthur Mur- ray. Eligibility rules in all extra-curricular activities equal- ized the plan and reduced the hurden on sptorts. The accrunplishrnent which supersedes all other undertak- ings of the council was the pre- sentation of a very prosperous March .of Dimes Dance, January R1st. at tl1e Legion Memorial Hall.
