The Student Council, made up of the president from each homeroom and the executive officers, is the organization which assists in school management. It represents an excellent device through which a knowledge of democracy can be made meaningful, color- ful, and vital, not only because it is based upon democratic principles and procedures; but, just as important, because its in- terests and activities are those of student life.
