OPAL DORIS CHILDS More than in any previous year, the Student Council, sponsoring many varied activities, became an important cog in this year's school administration. ' Far-reaching in its significance was the new regulation on offices which a student may hold. Under the regulation a student may hold at one time no more than one major and two minor offices. Because of this new Council ruling, sev- eral resignations'were made at the end of the first semester, when the ruling became effective, and new officers were elected. Among other things, the Student Council sponsored sunlight dances for the students. Several all-school evening parties were also given and met with much success. One of the highlights of these parties was an amateur contest given as a part of entertainment for the evening. Lowell Disney, presenting bird calls and imitations, won first prize, Wallace Halbert, tenor, second prize, and Orville and James Kinder, third prize with their harmonica duets. A Hobo Day was held April l and the students responded to the call whole- heartedly to furnish a day of revelry and merry-making. Tickets to the senior play were given as prizes to Florence Dahlstrom and Albert Petrik for the fun- niest costumesg Murray Hamilton and Thelma Fasig, the most artistic, and Sam Iwig and Agnes Betty Strachan for having the most original outfits. Each year the Student Council is becoming a more important part of the school and it is hoped that its success in dealing with the various problems which come before it will be as fine as in the past. Council representatives, who held office for the year, were as follows: Paul Heinz, senior representative, Opal Doris Childs, juniorg James Hamilton, sophomoreg Velma Lou Obenhaus, freshman. Class presidents, who are ex officio Council members, were Sam Iwig and Alberta Eberhart, senior classg Wyatt Kirk, junior president both semestersg Robert Kirk and Leonard Burrell, sophomore: Wanda Gingrich and William Moseley, freshman. Mr. Wright was Student Council sponsor. Back Row: S. Iwig, P. Heinz, L. Burrell, Hr. Wright, W. Moseley, J. Hamilton, W. Kirk Front Row: O. Childs, W. Gingrich, R. Kirk, V. Obenlhaus, A. Eberhart

As a reception for new members the girls gave a kid party during the first weeks of school. Each girl arrived dressed to resemble a kindergarten pupil. At Thanksgiving time the girls were asked to donate food to make up a basket for a needy family. At Christmas toys and food were given for a basket. At the last meeting before the holidays the club had a gift exchange. The Palm Sunday service for Topeka Girl Reserves was well attended by Highland Park members. Leota Obenhaus, president during second semester, had a part in the consecration ceremonies, which were held at the First Congregational Church. ' Being Easter bunnies offered amusement of a different sort. Names were drawn and each Girl Reserve was to be an Easter bunny to the girl whose name she drew and was to do something nice for her every day. On the last day be- fore the Easter vacation each girl learned who was her Easter bunny. Katharine Chubb served as president the first semester but resigned because of a student council ruling limiting the number of offices a student may hold. Leota Obenhaus was el- ected president for the second semester. The other officers were Dorothy Gear, vice-presidentg Jeanne Buckmaster, secre- tary, Opal Doris Childs, treasurer, Jeanne Abels, music ohairmang Frances Barraclough, social chairmang Lucille Coop- er, service chairmang Dorothy Root, program chairman.
