Offenders were taken before the student council; there the case was stated and sentence pronounced. The school audiences were transformed. Quiet reigned, and gratified speakers and performers commended the student body repeatedly. But so great was the impression left by the campaign that improvement is still noticeable. Thus it can readily be seen that the student council has not been inactive during the past year. This group is impartial to individuals but works untiringly for the good of the student body as a whole. Each club or group of any size is represented. The presiding officers of these groups meet with the student body officers and discuss needed changes, entertainments, and other problems of the school. The council uses parliamentary procedure and a great deal is accomplished in their meetings. They have also inaugurated a new system of holding student body elections. This system will be very similar to the one used for municipal elections. Although it may be impossible to complete arrangements in time for this year’s student election, the initial movement will have been started. This group is also making arrangements for a student council banquet, which should be especially enjoyable since it is the only social event in which they participate. STUDENT COUNCIL Courtesy Campaign!” These words electrified the students of Grand Junction High and started other school systems in the state into noticing how much a campaign was needed among all students. The STUDENT BODY ASSOCIATION The 1937-3 8 Student Body Association was composed of Fred Siebott, president; Margaret Hall, vice-president; Betty Lee Grahame, secretary; John Rose, cheer leader; Louis Ingelhart, O. and B. editor; Bob Young, business manager; Janet Cutting, Annual editor; and John Martin Kinney, business manager. These officers who took an important part in the outstanding affairs of the school, encouraged greater interest among the students at assemblies, school parties, and in dramatics and athletics. Their aims to uphold the school’s traditions, to promote school spirit, and to provide means for all students to take a part in the various activities, were considered successful only due to the fact that once again Edar B. Roe’s three-dollar activity ticket scored higher than in the years past. This ticket not only admits to sports, but music festivities, dramatics, distribution of the O. and B., and also the Tiger annual. With the ending of 1937-3 8 school year the Student Body Association has completed and fulfilled a most successful term, which will be chalked up as a winner. i Tor Row I'tah Min ', Johnnie Coscomwa, Hob Scot!.

HOME ROOM COUNCIL The Home Room Council meets every six weeks to discuss the different problems confronting the student body. In these meetings they discuss fire drills, school parties, luncheons, assemblies, and other student activities. This organization is primarily for the purpose of getting nearer to the students and to represent the activities of the school in a more specific way. The president of the student body, Fred Siebott, mediates for these three groups — the Student Body Association, the Student Council, and the Home Room Council. This system, only a few years old, is believed to be a great step in the advancement of the student government. GIRLS’ LEAGUE Girls’ League is one organization in high school to which all girls do belong. The league year of 37-3 8 was led by, president, Jane Goddard; vice-president, Jane Warren; secretary, Virginia Walker; treasurer, Dorothy Ann Reynolds. The league has chalked to its credit, a pep club of approximately 100 members, an enjoyable mother’s tea, and a farewell party to senior girls. To promote a democratic feeling and friendship among the girls has been the aim of the league, and to this end both leaders and members have worked faithfully. As in years past, stunts have been given by each class. The sophomore class carried out a circus called Soph Sisters Sircus.” Due to the fact it had a cast of S6—more than half the girls of the class—it was a spectacle. BOYS’ LEAGUE In the early part of the season a Boys’ League party was held in the gym. This party was considered tops” when it came to decorations, refreshments, and music. Aside from the Christmas prom this affair was next in line for elegance. At various meetings different entertainments have Leen presented such as, boxing and wrestling matches, skits produced by underclassmen, and talks from different coaches.
