And what was that question? Page Twenty-four need for understanding and participating in sound government. Our participation in school government is more important today than it has ever been, because it teaches us the funda- mentals of representative government. As our national congressmen must represent the peo- ple in our national government, so must our school councillors represent us, the student body, in our school government. The Student Council started the year with plans for a better informed student body and student council members. They encourage the students to suggest to their representatives ideas and plans which are sound and logical, benefitting the school as a Whole. The presiding officers this year are: Presi- dent, Thad Suits, Vice-President, Iohn Iordang Secretary, Marilyn Scotty Treasurer, Iune Clark: Mr. Wright is the sponsor.
