The student council is an association that serves as the medium between the represented student body and the fa- culty. The Council coordinates and ap- proves student body activities as well as efficiently initiating programs of its own. From the functioning of this or- ganization the individual student learns and experiences what school govern- ment can do for him and he gains an opportunity and the experience to ex- press his personal views on school mat- ters. Any student can introduce a mo- tion during a Council meeting and it has become customary for the club and class representatives to vote as their organizations want them to vote. The Student Council directly improves scholarship and close student fellow- ship. It acts as an excellent outlet for the physical and social energies of the students while preparing them for their formal place in society. for Student Leadership
