FOREIGN STUDENTS ln the past years it has been the privilege of our school to play host to certain foreign students who were members of the llcrald Tribune Youth Forum. XVe have previously had as guests students from Japan, Korea, Viet Nam, Lebanon and other countries in periods not exceeding two weeks. This year our school was not only privileg- ed to have our usual two students but we were fortunate enough to entertain all the members of the Forum. Thirty-four members from all the inhabited continents of the world, representing all colors, races, and re- ligions, were our guests for ten thoroughly en- joyable days.

Realizing that an effective student government must have a close relationship with hoth students and faculty, the Council has worked to bring this about. ulider representation has been secured hy increasing the number of home- room representatives from one to two. .Xnotlier innovation has been the open meeting at which certain problems were thrashed out among all the students and new ideas and opinions were expressed. Meetings of representatives of the Student Council and faculty have created a better understanding. enabling them to work together more efficiently. In the area of service to the school the Student Council has set up the Key Club, which has already proven very successful. Its members have acted Tern Scanne Pa' C-rfan, Robert She den.

It has also worked out a system for seating the student body quickly and in orderly fashion at assemblies. A big help to the school community has been the Hole in the Xvallu. the Student Council Store yvhere paper, pencils, and other items may he purchased. The Honor System has been adopted by many classes. lt has encouraged individual responsibility, so necessaiy to our democratic society. This year has certainly been a husv one. The Student Council's success has been due not only to its very capable officers and its adviser, Mr. Lawler. but also to a most cooperative student body.
