STUDENT GOVERNMENT During this semester all of the. Student Leadership Activities have greatly improved in efficiency and organization. Below is a summary of what the different groups have initiated and accomplished. . This semester Indianola Student Council has enjoyed one of its most active years since its organization in 1926 at the old building. The paper sale, which poured about S71 into the coffers of the school, was originated and sponsored by the Council. Generous awards were given to spur the pupils to bring large amounts of paper. Earlier in the year a committee, appointed by the president, sold candy and popcorn- balls at the basketball games and the va- rious evening performances. Lately the Council has been contemplat- ing, accepting and approving a constitution which is a revision of the original. V The Council has been exceedingly fortu- nate in having such capable oiiicers as Anna Jane Bierstedt, Richard Ridgely and Helen Jenkins, who hold the positions of president, vice-president and secretary, respe:tively. A plan of stamping all articles handed in has been adopted by the Lost and Found Department. When the stamp appears twice in the same book the owner is ques- tioned and sometimes punished for careless- ness. Thus this system greatly reduces the number of lost articles. The School Beautiful Club. an activity comparatively new at Indianola, has greatly improved its organization over that of its first year. By means of charts, posted by the members of this club for their respective homeroom. the pupils are constantly re- minded to be more careful in the depositing of waste paper. The Hall Monitors, this year, have done a fine service to the school in aiding in the suppression of noise. This group has as its student leader Stephen Bailey. They meet every second Monday. Our all 9A governing group , the Traffic Commission, has been doing its duty this semester during the lunch periods and in the halls between classes. This is one of the smallest groups of pupils ever holding this position. Lewis Rankin is the director of the Traffic Commission, assisted by Bill Livingston and Janice Merrill. Meetings held every Tuesday. The Student Court. Bill Livingston and his assistants, have been most faithful. This is one of the finest courts that Indianola has ever had. This group has done much for the maintenance of order, trying and punishing those not abiding withirrhe law All those who have appeared before the court have been dealt with fairly. Evelyn Fay Keller, who won the S. A. R. Essay Contest for the 8A girls, won a name for herself and brought honor to Indian- ola by winning the city-wide championship. The award is a bronze medal presented by the Sons of the American Revolution. Alwen Wallace was the 8A boy winner at Indian- ola. Evelyn's essay follows: TO SECURE THE BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY Congress shall make no law establishing religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof 3 or abridging the freedom of speech or of the pressg or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for redress of grievances. The colonies, under the rule of England, were denied all of the above privileges. This new government by the people pro- posed to make sure that all these rights should belong to people then living and to their posterity. Therefore, they incorpo- rated them into the Constitution of the United States in the so-called Bill of Rights which guarantees to each and every one of us the right to freedom of worship and permits us to. discuss in open meeting the affairs of the government, criticising those public officials whom we feel are in error. The freedom of the press also comes un- der this clause of the Constitution. It al lows newspaper and magazine editors and other citizens to publish discussions of all subjects bearing upon our government. The influence of the press in molding public opinion was illustrated during the admin- istration of President Wilson. He greatly favored the United States' entry into the League of Nations but the press through- out the country so strongly opposed this, that Congress was infiuenced to decide against our entry. At the present time, certain phases of the New Deal are finding great disfavor with the press and with the general public. These phases are being dis- cussed- over the radio and in the press, and in the near future no doubt, the Recovery Program will undergo certain changes. With many European countries under dic- tators who do not hesitate to destroy any citizen who raises his voice against their rule,-we are indeed grateful to the Fath- ers of our Constitution for including in the Preamble, the clause, To secure the Bles- sings of Liberty, which makes it possible for us to have a truly democratic form of government.
