STUDENT COUNCIL President - lack De Korne Secretary f - Thea lane Bouma Treasurer f - Bill De longe General Adjunct - lim Bronlcema Student Council efforts have been clearly apparent in school life this year. The council was divided into coininittees, each committee supervising one phase of activity. Student-planned assemblies were featured. In chapel exercises, we en- joyed outside speakers every Week, and on Fridays the Music Department entertained with special selections. With the money raised during the year, the Council purchased a new flag for the school. For the first time, our Student Council has been a member of the Grand Rapids lnterhigh Student Council, meeting with delegates from all the other city schools at monthly meetings. We hope that future student councils, also backed by a cooperative stu- dent body, may carry on and improve the plans we have begun this year. Then, as our efficient sponsor, Mr. Post, has said, The Student Council will be the most active and beneficial student organization at Christian High. T. I. B. ll2i

Vanden Berg was given charge of the treasury department. Cactus Kobes held the position of scribe. Karl B. P. Van Baalen was elected as general adjunct. Mr. Iohn Timmerman is our sponsor. At the beginning of the current school year, a new club was organized. An interesting feature of this organization was that we all had the opportunity to demonstrate our various culinary abilities in the preparation of refresh- ments. Aside from a few cases of violent gastronomical disturbances and abdominal pains, we enjoyed ourselves most in this desirable feature. Apparently the club has been a success. We have accomplished all we intended to do and enjoyed ourselves immensely. We, the members of this extraordinary organization, sincerely express our thanks to Mr. Timmerrnan for his able leadership. We hope this organization may grow in future years to be enjoyed by the generations to come. G. K. tl4l
