Student Council YMBOLIC of the democratic spirit which pervades the Highland Park Schools is the Student Council. The 14 students who make up this organization repre- sent their home rooms individually and the entire stu- dent body as a Whole. Having been elected student HAROLD EPLING president, Harold Epling automatically serves as presi-- . President dent of the council. Clement Shackle and Bette Bur- ! f ' . . . gf M rell are vice-president and secretary, respectively. Each Fri a these re resentatives meet with Su erintendent Wvri ht to talk over and Y P P g pass action on various school problems. All-School parties, recreation hours, pay assem- blies, and other forms of recreation, such as noon dancing, are sponsored by the group- Sqince the entire student body has an opportunity to give viewpoints on problems vital to them, they receive training for good citizenship in later life. It is democracy in action on a small but important scale. Left to rightili. Halbert, B. Coffman, F. Young, H. Sharrai, E. Baker, T. Allen, C. Shackle, L. Cheatwood, Superin- tendent Wright, B.
