STUDENT COUNCIL For the first time, the Student Council bf GCHS joined the National Association of Student Councils. Its membership entitled the group to the monthly magazine, WStudent Life,W and the privilege of going to the National Conference in Denver, Colorado, in June. The Student Cou cil made plans for the remodeling of the manual train- ing room for a rec estion room last fall. They also made plans for the annual carnival and the school picnic in the spring. Their last pro- ject was the setting up of a point system for honor awards with points being awarded for active participation in all fields of student activityh scholarship, athletics, drnmatics, music, and class and committee work. The president for the year 1949-1950 was Bob Winninghoff, a member of the senior class. Lois Ledbetter, also a senior, was vice-president, and Fernie Graham, a juxior, was secretary. The membership of the Council this year was as followsla Senior representatives ..............Lois Ledbetter and Bob 'u s Junior representatives .... ......

A large rsirigerator urs donated by the Farmeaureau and an electric range was donated by the PTA. George Mungas, a member of the GCHS school board, donated a two-tub modern Youngstown Deluxe sink. A canned food shms held by the RTA brought in food for the program w ich helped in cutting the cost of the lunches. Other food was also donated b' various people during the winter. A number of the members of the PTA also helped cook and serve many of the meals. About sixty students from the two schools took advantage of the pro- gram whici started on Novemb r lL abd closed on April 29. The grade school students were brought to the high school most of the noons by bus. Mr. Throssell was paid br the Farm Bureau for making the two trips each day, P1ng'Pong Soon after the recreation room was oqened to the students last fall one school purchases an unfinished ping-pong table, which was painted by Mae Throssells shop class. From then on, it was a scramble to see ahtbe could get to use it. After several days of practice, GCHS could boast of a co ple of champion playe s, but in the course of the year that table was the cause of more trouble and sarcastic remarks than any two blonde in the school. It seeded that only the seniors were given permission to play dura ing study halls, and some of the lower classmen didn't like that so well. That didn't bother the seniors, however. It was always an argument, too,as to who could play next. Then the ping-pong balls were either borrowed , bought, or stolen, depending on how much money the players had, how good natured they were, or how much they could get away with. Oh,well, it wins a lot of fun, and everyone enjoyed it very much.
