The members of the council are representatives from the three upper classes and each home room. There is a total of 16 members. The officers of the council are elected by the members of the organization at the beginning of the school year. The President is then elected by petition circulated throughout the student body. The officers for the first semester were as follows: President-----------Ralph Smith, Jr. Vice-President-----Marion Smith Secretary—-— ———Olen Face Treasurer-------——Wm. Barnes The officers for the second semester were: President----------Warren Vincent Vice-President-----Marion Smith Secretary-—-—-—--Olen Face Treasurer----------Roscoe Baker Because the term of office had expired for Wm. Barnes at the close of the first semester, his office was filled by Roscoe Baker. Warren Vincent was elected President at the beginning of the second semester and his term of office will expire at the end of a year. The council has undertaken many responsibilities in the past year. Each of the All- School parties was under direction of the student council. The council arranged the assembly programs, established a Lost and Found Bureau, and also selected a committee to take charge of the bulletin boards. The most Important undertaking of the council was that of setting up a system of honor points for all activities of the school, besides 'iving points for the various classes. The points will be iven to all participants in the various activities and will be used in determining the honor stucents for the year. This system has not reached perfec- tion but as the student council continues in the years to come, a system of honor points for students activities will reach its highest standard. The Student Council of Homer High will continue to meet the needs of a student government by abiding by the written constitution and with the supervision of Superintendent C. F. Whetstone. 5
