Tliese groups in Hick- man Hisrli School are the Student Council and tlie Honor Societies. By their active cooperation, and by their efforts to create the right atmosphere, they aid the faculty in realizing high ideals for our school. Page 29

PHYSICAL EDUCA- TION AND MANUAL TRAINING MISS ANNA SUE KENNEDY Girls Ath. Coach Shall we ever forget marching around the gym (half the time imitating monkeys or some other quadrupeds) those long hot days play- ing baseball and soccer, — the rush to get a shower in time to dress for the next class? We certainly won ' t forget the admirable way Miss Kennedy has of getting right into a game, as excited and anxious to win as any of us. We hope she ' s enjoyed her first year, because we want her back next fall. MR. GLENN C. SMITH Boys Ath. Coach Since Mr. Smith has been with H. H. S. the fortunes of Kewpie athletes have shown a marked improvement, and the Kewpies have be- come leading contenders in all the major sports. In football they have been conference champions for the past two years. Mr. Smith ' s friendly method of instruction together with his skill as a coach have combined to make him one of the best loved figures of the school. MR. Z. M. STRONG Manual Training Those mysterious looking machines, — the Oliver saw bench, the Deville spraying outfit, the six-inch jointer, and the Clark Sanding ma- chine, — may seem of little importance to the av- erage student, but to the manual training boys they mean superior opportunities to turn out fin- ished work. Mr. Strong means much, not only to those in his classes, but to the whole school. As adviser for athletes, as first aid expert, and as an artist in planning and constructing stage sets, Mr. Strong has proven himself indispen- sable to Hickman High School. 1931 CRESSET Page 28

John Woods, Student President STUDENT COUNCIL Student opinion was given a voice and some influence in the conduct of school affairs when the Student Council was organized in 1919. It is a representative body, its members being elected from each of the sixteen home rooms. Its officers consist of the president, who is also student president, and elected by the student body at large ; its secretary, who is elected bv the council : and Miss Stean, the faculty- sponsor. Tlie Student Council meets each M ' ednesdav afternoon to discuss problems arising in the course of current school activities. The mem- bers report their decisions and recommenda- tions to the students as a whole through tlieir own respective home rooms. The Student Co ni- cil makes an effort to cooperate with other organizations for the improvement of the school ; it backs the athletic contests and does all in its power to contribute to the success of musical and dramatic presentations. Besides assisting the office by enlisting student cooperation in solving current difficulties, and endeavoring to promote the welfare of the school by supporting the undertakings of every department, the Student Council has under- taken and carried out several projects for the good of the school as a whole. It presents a medal to an outstanding Junior and Sophomore each Spring, in the hope of encouraging scholar- ship and citizenship among individual students. I;- selects the six students whose names are presented to the committee which then selects those who are to receive the Kiwanis award. And it stimulates good citizenship and coopera- tion in the home room groups by presenting annual home room awards. It publishes early in the year the system of points according to which the home rooms are rated, and it raises bv various means the funds necessary to pur- chase the much coveted prizes. It is indeed an honor to be elected to Student Council, for it means that one ' s fellow students have chosen him to represent their interests in the government of Hickman High School. 19 3 1 CRESSET Page 30
