Student Council The students of Hutchinson high school felt the desire for a student representative body as early as 1924. To fulfill this desire the Student Council was organized by a committee of students and faculty members. The purpose of the organization as stated in the constitution is to foster closer relations between the students and school authorities, to foster sentiment for law and orderg to conserve the traditions and ideals of the school, and to promote the general welfare of the school. The Student Council has twenty members, which are chosen at the end of each semester from the various clubs and classes of the school. The only qualification fcr membership is that each representative must have at least a C average in his grades There are two faculty sponsors I S DS Miss Alice Lucile Stevens, who has been sponsor since the organization of the Council, and Burton Lyman, who is new this year in the administration of H. H. S. Marvin Sollenberger was chosen by the entire student body to serve as president of the Council this year. This office is the most prominent one a student may hold in school. Martha Lou Alex- ander was elected by the members of the Council for the office of vice-president, and Roscoe Ham- bric was chosen secretary.
