Led by hustling Jerry Walterskirchen, the M Club enjoyed numerous activities and donated generously to worthy organizations. Jerry was assisted by Jack O'Laughlin as vice president and Bob Anderson as his treasurer. Early in the fall, the club sponsored the painting of the M to supplant the usual hair cutting of the freshmen in hopes that this would become a tradition. Assisting in the organization and control of athletic acti- vities, the M Club has been able to lighten the work of the sponsors. The club's after- game dances in the lunchroom are famous and have been the talk of the winter sea- son. Perhaps the swankiest affair is the M Club dinner dance at which the coaches are honored for their fine work during the season just completed. The club lost its president to the armed forces this spring. Although missed by his men, Jerry's term of office was ably com- pleted by Jack O'Loughlin. . . . wearers of the M

ouncL As the Montana Legislature serves our state, so does the Student Council serve Mis- soula High. This student governing body is made up of an elected representative from each home room in school. Meetings are held every Monday night after school, and the volume of the work to be done usually keeps the council until after five o'clock. Under the capable direction of President Gene Kramer, Vice-President Don Weston, and Secretary Katherine Lansing, Missoula High has made a start in the direction of capable student government. The council discusses and approves or rejects important changes and matters which affect school life before submitting them to the student body and faculty members. The installation of the monitor system, the managing of the War Chest drive, and the selling of Ath- letic Tournament tickets are some of the major problems, besides other minor matters which always depend on the Student Coun- cil for settlement. Outshining all these sue cesses, however, is the installation of stu- dent prices in our Missoula theaters. Work ing with the Parent-Teachers' Association the Student Council has brought the prices down to 40 cents at the Wilma and 35 cents at the other theaters. The Student Council also rewrote the old Constitution which had been in effect since 1929, and sponsored Old Clothes Day. The sucess of the noise parade and bonfire before the Thanksgiving game were also due to the diligent efforts of the Student Council Head Tom Wickes.
