THE STUQJSJXQT some ITH the high school stu- dent body larger this ycar than it ever has been, and likely to increase next year, the question of student control has be- come a very vital one. Early in thc year the students voted to adopt a plan ot' selt' gov- ernment, and accordingly a Stu- dent Council was elected. The Sen- iors, and Juniors, entitled to two representatives each on this coun- cil, elected Elmer Batehelder and Paul Bailey. and Ruth Linklater and Wlllllllll Helms, respectively. The Sophomores were allowed one member, and chose Arthur Reiling. The Freshmen elected Dorothy Linklater as their representative. Another member, Herbert Seheidt, was chosen from the Student Body at large. Miss Thomas and Mr. Bradford were named as the Fac- ulty members. At its first meeting the Student Council drew up a constitution, and elected Elmer Batchelder, presidcntg Hath Linklatcr, vice- presidentg Paul Bailey, secretary: and William Helms, treasurer. These otlicers act in the same capa- city l'or the Student Body. All school activities are now under student control, as is also the as- sembly hall during study periods. Several times, during the year, certain dilllcnlties have arisen which have threatened to tear down the work thas far advanced by Student Government. However, these have been partially overcome by the Student Council, with the aid of the Faculty, and the support ot' the Student Body. As a whole, Student Government has been successful, and it is to be sincerely hoped that, by the hearty co-operation ot' the students, it will continue in the Hillsboro High School for many years to come.

T H E H I Our uIrf1't'l'fi.rr1'.r VR advertisers, whose gen- erous support has made the printing ot' this annual pos- sible, deserve the patronage ot' the students as good business demands that there be adequate returns for their expenditures. As a general rule the iirms or individuals who are advertising, have supported the school to the best of their ability. by displaying an interest in the various games. rallies and pro- gralns given by the high school, and thus the students are under a double obligation to them. It would be well to mention seeing their ad in The Hilhi when trading with them. Szrhoof H ouarfy ONESTY is the best policy. Everyone is familiar with this old adage. but some seem to have forgotten that this applies also to their conduct in high school. It is a t'act that a stu- dent cheating in an examination loses his self-respect. and to a large extent the respect of his class- mates. Also the student who gives help or int'ormation is as guilty as the receiver. Cheating in any form deserves vigorous condemnation by the students. The high school should he ruled by the highest standards of ethics. Many actions which deserve con- demnation, we often overlook and in a few eases even applaud. Any student who attempts to lower the ethics of the sehool should t'eel the L H 1 '1 7 1'wm4t--,.fnf force of public opinion.. which is all powerful. Let us all remember that under student self-govern- ment we are put upon our honor and let us act accordingly. The Viviun! LTHOUGH realizing that the issuing of last year's an- nual has set a high stand- ard. the otticials of this ycar's an- nual have sincerely striven to come up to it or even raise it. A number of new features have been intro- duced. which we hope will become a permanent part in future num- bers ot' The Hilhi. Our one regret is our inability to publish the school song. which is copyrighted by an eastern iirm, with which no satist'aetory arrangement could be made. lf the reader tinds any merit in this annualg it it brings back pleas- ant memories to some alumni, and it it meets the approval of our schoolnlatcs, we shall feel amply repaid for our etl'orts. VVe wish to express our sincere thanks to the teachers for their help. to the students for their hearty eo-operation. to the Hicks- Chatten company, our engravers, for their never-failing courtesy and kindly suggestions, to Mr. Johnson. our photographer, for his low prices and excellent work, to the merchants for their advertis- ing. to our publishers, The Inde- pendent. for their liberal terms, and especially to Miss Riekert, who hy her timely advice and interest, has been an inspiration to us.
