5 Q' Twenty-five years ago Student Government was organized at Jackson High School by Dr. R. Emens, who was then assistant principal. From that time on, a governing group of students has grown to be one of the most important phases of school life at JHS. From each homeroom a student is elected to Student Representative Assembly for one semes- ter. Once a week and sometimes more frequently, the Assembly meets to discuss and decide issues that effect the whole school. From the Student Body a President and Vice President are elected who preside over Student Representative and Student Council meetings. Student Government undertakes or participates in many projects which are scheduled throughout the school year. The first this year was the Booster Parade whose success was notably greater than in previous years. Twice a year the Student Body is called upon to support the Reflector Bi-Weekly with semester subscriptions, and it is the Representatives of Student Government who are the salesmen. Again, it is the Student Reps who are the bookkeepers for each homeroom during the magazine cam- paign, and who do the collecting for Viking Giv- ing during the Hrst semester. For thirteen years Mr. Dressel has advised and greatly promoted Student Government. :SEK .1 -s ' I, if wifi I

MW, feanaa The student body will always remember Mary Roberts for her quiet charm and well rounded personality. For these things, Jackson High elected her as the first semester vice president. Mary organized the hall guide system efficiently in the beginning of the year and the system ran smoothly throughout the semester. She acted as head of the Hostess Committee and served as hostess at the dances held after the football games. Mary acquired many admirers and friends during her semester as vice president. whtwdzll Richard Hill became the student body president for the first semester and did much to help the new school year begin smoothly. The annual Booster parade, held after the first football game in the fall, was one of the most successful in years and much of the success was attributed to Dick. He took a great interest in careful driving and urged all students to participate in the safe driving cam- paign. During an Easter assembly, Dick made a memor- able speech in which he said, This morning I am not saying that world harmony will come, I'm only pointing out the one possible door through which it could enter, that door of Eternal love and understanding. Jackson High will always remember that speech and the president who made it. W , l i v i 1. . 5 3 ? 'stirs W gt , ,, M 1 l s tg, Wa ,W M Q, J fs, L, sy ,Ma, ,n t Yi ft fm 3 'S'
