STUDENT COUNCIL Max McPike, President OFFICERS Student Association officers were nominated and elected in home rooms last spring. Max McPike be- came president; Tom Rollins, vice- president; Bob Beach, secretary; and Bill Demmons, treasurer. Barbara Hill became S. C. sec- retary at a meeting this year. Officers must have passing grades the prior semester. The president and vice-president must be Seniors and have attended MHS two years. COUNCIL HAS ACTIVE YEAR In MHS’s constitution, given to every frosh and new student, is a provision for Student Council, or student government. Members of S. C., including one elected representative from each home room and officers of the Student Association, meet every Monday after school. Anyone besides the S. C. members may attend these meetings. S. C. members are divided into four committees, presided over by officers appointed by the S. A. president. Reports from committee meet- ings are given at general meetings. There was no Athletic Committee this year, as S. C. members felt it was unnecessary. By the new Five Per-Cent Plan, which calls for five per-cent of all profits from school activities to go to S. C, about $900 was made. MHS is the only school in Montana with such a system. Among this year’s activities was the beginning of a five-year plan for improving Victory Field. A campaign was started to raise about $7,000 for a new fence. Twelve cheerleading finalists were chosen from among 41 tryouts. Interest in the Single Session Plan, which would allow school to be dis- missed at 3:15 P. M. and the lunch hour to be shortened from 65 to about 20 minutes, was furthered. Busses were chartered to football and basketball games in Butte. Viola Borgstedt was paid $150 to attend a twirling contest in Minneapolis. Among other activities, S. C. also sponsored a safety and traffic campaign, including a safety poster contest won by Laurel Seaward, and an assembly. Clubs were given rights to give dances and have conces- sions.
