Student Council The Student Council this year has done exceptionally well on projects and such for our school. With Lela Mathews as mayor, and her fellow officers, the council achieved great things in 1954-1955. The council showed some of their ability to do things well when on October 29th they sponsored the Home- coming. Activities began on Thursday night with a pep meeting around a bonfire, but due to a downpour the snake dance was called off. This dampened the country but never the Greerites spirit. The next day things began popping at the Assembly Program and then again the weather worked against us by sending hail and sleet which rather ruined our floats. The Parade then was a very cold but joyous ordeal. Then when Hoopeston walked away with the game that night, things became more and more wonderful. All who attended the Autumn Enchantment Dance, featuring Wayne Carr and his orchestra, helped make it a huge success for the council. On Saturday, November 6th, about twenty members of our council traveled to Decatur to the District Student Convention. Every member who attended got a lot of ideas from other councils on all sorts of problems. Then danng the winter the council took on a project that we all consider quite big and very wonderful. They purchased a TV set for the school. I am sure we've enjoyed watching it at some time or other this past year an we owe them a big thanks. In the spring, on April 22 and 23 to be exact, two council members, Georgia Lou Petty and Paul Unger jour- neyed with Miss Sinclair to Peoria to the 22nd Annual Illinois State Student Council Convention They enjoyed the trip very much and brought back some good methods to help our council W held elections for next year's council officers and aldermen. We also chose two delegates to send to Sum- mer Workshop. This account shows that our student council is a very active and worthwhile organization and the student bouy owes them a congratulation on the fine work they've done this year The officers who led this group through their success were: Lela Mathews, Mayor; Phyliss Jennett Lt Mayor- ?d° CMs group aagrTaatndeirk: 3nd JaCl °1SOn’ Treasurer- Mr‘ H- Baird and Miss J- Sinclair, the sponsors', alsohelp- 28
