THE STUDENT COUNCIL KE Student Councdl is made up of pupils from each of the three senior high school grades. The class president and two pupils are chosen to represent each class. Mr. Payne, our principal and advisor, is present at all meetings to talk over any questions or problems that may have come before him, and also to give us advice and suggestions for any matter which we may bring be- fore the Council. The Student Council members are chosen twice during our school year. For the first half of the year its mem- bers were as follows — Seniors : Al- fred McRae, Dorothy Kirby, Bradley Dolliver; Juniors: Walter Fowler, Richard Peale, Gertrude Sprague ; Sophomores : William Stone, Isabelle Dunn, Minnie Wetson. For the last half of the year the Seniors remained the same. The Juniors were Walter Fowler, William Moore and Ruth Cogswell. The Sophomores were Dick Grant, Minnie Wetson and Isabelle Dunn. The officers for the first half year were Bradley Dolliver, President; Walter Fowler, Vice-President; Doro- thy Kirby, Secretary and Treasurer. The officers for the last half year were Walter Fowler, President; Bradley Dolliver, Vice-President; Dorothy Kirby, Secretary ; and Min- nie Wetson, Treasurer. It is our duty, as representatives of the school, to put before the Stu- dent Council and Mr. Payne any difficulties that arise, any matters that may not be understood, class affairs, etc. This organization has proved so valuable that we hope it will continue in years to come. — Dorothy Kirby, ’35

Here’s hoping he won’t bother “Ma” any more.
