B. Davis, B. Stevens, B. Friedrichs, D. Watkins, Secretary lhas, President Harwood, Vice-President Mason Adviser Henry, D. Hayes, l. Baker, B. Cook, G. Austin, M. Hall. SlUUfNl Etllllltll On February 14, l94O, an historical event took place here in Hillsdale High. Campaign signs were erected, the dusty soap boxes were brought out and everybody had a grand time arguing pro and con their candidates for the Student Council. After our representatives were elected, they had their own private election, with the re- sult that Iirn Harwood was named president and Mary Mason was chosen as vice-presi- dent. Altogether there are twelve members in the council plus Mr. Henry, who acts as adviser. ln this case we hope that thirteen will not live up to its reputation for bringing bad luck. This year, although still in its infancy, the council sponsored two fine assemblies, in which Mr. Charles B. Cook told of the interesting life of General lohn Cook, and President Mauck of the College showed movies of Norway. Aside from these, the council was also influential in preparing the exchange programs with Ionesville, Litchfield, and Reading. We feel that already the council has made its influence felt in the school and we expect even bigger things from it in the future.
