Sophomore Class Cfficers If Marshall was to be an effective and dynamic high school, an effective and dynamic stud- kent government was imperative. The organization of a student government was not something to be rushed: perfection was the Student Body's goal. Marshall's first Student Council was M' ' organized early in the year under the auspicious leadership of Dick Ross, president pro-temp. A feasible constitution was necessary fora good student government. This constitution had to be practical, workable, and yet at the same time, an inspirational tool capable of upholding the high ideals of Iohn Marshall High School. This constitution would have to be workable, not only for one or two years, but for at least fifty years. It had to cover all possible angles ment at Marshall so it had to be set, and provide means for maintaining, the high, lofty stand- ards desired by the students. To meet these exacting demands, a constitution committee of nine students was organized in mid-September. This committee, consisting of Carolyn Stover, Marilyn Lesher, Candy Lawrence, Nick Iones, Stan Koltsch, Mel Griffin, Marilee Dudgeon, Tom Bailey, Barbara Buck and three students from each of the classes, was guided and super - vised by Mr. Proppe, former Marshall vice principal. While the constitution committee diligently labored, the rest of the students concentrated on making money to build a student body fund--at first non-existent. The problem was part- ially solved when we received contributions to our Student Body fund from seven other Portland high schools. Madison, Franklin, Benson and Washington each donated five hundred dollarsy Roosevelt added S200.00. Girls' Polytechnic and Lincoln donated one hundred dollars: and Grant contributed S600 - total S3,000.
