Jim I wonder if the students realize how lucky they are to have a Home Room council which represents everyone in school? Abe remarked to Joan. At the beginning of the school year the members of the Home Room council, feeling that they could work more efficiently under their own officers rather than have the Student Body president preside over both councils, elected Don Strain president; Sene Nakano, vice president; and Helen Jane McCormick, secretary. During the second semester, they held several joint meetings with student council. Several assemblies that were held during the year for the student body were the result of much planning and work by members of the Home Room council. The group also co-operated fully with the defense program for the school. Members of this council, which is composed of the presidents of the home rooms, helped both councils by presenting ideas discussed at meetings to their home room classes. Horn.

STUDENT? COUNCIL S. B. A. Officers: Gus Choles, Myrlee Strein, Evelyn Peterson. Gus announcing at assembly. Grand Junction high school surely is democratic, isn't it? said Joan to Abe after they had attended a meeting of Student council. Making the school a democracy was one of the jobs tackled by the 1941-42 Student council which is composed of the presidents of school clubs and the Student Body officers. The group was led by Gus Cholas, president; Myrlee Strain, vice president; and Evelyn Peterson, secretary. Sponsoring the sale of defense stamps to members of the student body was another of the group's projects. Members were also 100% behind the school defense program which was started by the Student and Home Room councils. Plans were made for having a student handbook which would contain information about the school that would be useful to the students. Student council was also in charge of planning the pep assemblies and numerous other student activities. 1st row—Barbara Jane Reynolds, Shirley Fox, Beverly Knight, Shirley Holmes, Barbara Graves, Betty Bieser, Mary Gower, Phyllis Anderson. 2nd row—Evelyn Peterson, Virginia Paul, Sally Reeds, Eleanor Yonge, Mildred Blanke, Geraldine Weaver, Laura Jean Farmer, Nina Marie Barnes. 3rd row—Donald Strain, Gus Cholas, Paul Bonnell, Jim ternahan, Dan Porter, Vincent Nourse, Johnny Retaloza, Eddie Wolf,

The office girls and the janitors are a big help, aren't they? Because Leona Summerville, the regular office secretary, has so much to do, several high school girls help in the office during each period of the day. They distribute notes, answer phone calls, check attendance, and act as general handy men in the office. The janitors, under the leadership of George Wallace, head custodian, keep the school clean k» and in good condition and are always on hand to do the many odd jobs they are called upon to do by the teachers and students.
