The council consists of nine mem- bers. The president of each class automatically be- comes a member. If the president is a boy, the other member chosen is a girl, and vice versa. The other three members are elected at large from and by the student body. The principal and one faculty mem- ber act as advisers. The Student Council has the following ofiicers: Paul Steiner, president; Betty Porte, treasurer; and Harold Faucher, secretary. Mr. Holcher is adviser of the Hopkins student council. The student council is really the government of the school. It may grant charters to clubs and or- ganizations and take them away. The council makes and enforces laws necessary for the betterment of the school, and it regulates extra-curricular activities . of the school organizations. Some of the programs presented by the Council this year were as follows: the Ritz Trumpeteers; Crime Does Not Pay , a movie; Parkinson En- semble; the exchange program with Wayzata; and Stanley Osborne, a lecturer who spoke about Australia.

What Goes On in the school is directed and supported by an elected student council. Young democracy received its first training and its first actual application in everyday school life. Education is like home lifeethe most is done With a friendly home group. Tastes vary and so do talents. The organi- zations found in the high school are com- posed of most of the students chosen to the various groups by democratic means. For more fellowship, there was born this year a local chapter of the Hi-Y. For practical ap- plication of the principals learned in journal- ism come the two publications. For artistic development you can Iind the musical organizations. School spirit! What it is and Where, is determined mainly by the activity of clubs and informal groups. The Pep club and H-club are only leaders in spirit. Each organ- ization is only a community organization in miniature.
