Student Council Three years ago under the capable leadership of Mr. Simmons, a Student Counf cil was formed in Hamburg High School. The purpose of this council was to promote a spirit of cooperation between the students and teachers and to develop student lead' ers. The council has reached a surprising degree of efhciency during its short exist' ence. The council is composed of eleven members: five from the Senior class, three from the Junior class, and three from the Sophomore class. The library, during the periods when no teacher may be present, is conducted by the Student Council as in preceding years. The social hours are also conducted by the council. Perhaps the most important work of the Council this year has been the adopting of a school award system. This plan offers awards to the student who has proved himself exceptional in the physical, mental and social fields. The aim of this scheme is to reward the allfaround person who has achieved honor in not only one, but all three fields of endeavor. This system is considered one of the most progressive of any used in this part of the country. The award is to consist of a bronze, silver or gold key. The latest work of the council has been the adoption of a monitor system for duty in the halls. It is hoped that the council will continue its excellent work and progress in years to follow. pfsgxgofwrxf-Qofsrxfo 1 9 3 0 QZ'5C'X9Q!3CX9Q!5C'X9 Fifteen

High School Faculty Q Patient, loyal and hardfworking seem the most appropriate adjectives to describe the high school teachers. They have done much for the present senior class and for the student body. The aim of the faculty has been to make the experiences of the students both more pleasant and more profitable. To that end extrafcurricular activities have been fostered, student participation has become a fact, boys and girls have been aided in preparing themselves for honorable and efficient leadership as citizens. In a series of interesting and profitable faculty meetings careful study has been made of the procedure whereby pupils might be given better guidance in vocations, in citizenship and in character building. As a result of these meetings much has been accomplished in the way of diagnostic, achievement, and intelligence testing and com' mittees are at work on plans for the coming year which bid fair to put Hamburg High School in an enviable position because of her work in progressive fields of education. During this year scholarship has improved, more pleasant relations have been es' tablished between students and teachers, and a state inspector has said, Hamburg High School is one of the small high schools in the state which is doing outstanding work.
