Student Council A new form of government was started in the Lake Stevens High School in 1930, when the Student Council proved to be a success. With student government the school runs more smoothly and the students understand problems that, otherwise, would not be brought to their attention. Representatives from each class and each organization bring ideas and suggestions from the whole school before the Council. These suggestions are discussed thoroughly and action decided upon. All members of the Student Council, except the treasurer, are elected by the student body. The treasurer, who takes care of the school's financial records, is appointed by the Superintendent and the commercial teacher. Meetings are held every other Monday during the school year, at three o'clock. Problems that were taken up this year were many and varied—the price of Associated Student Body membership cards, ap- propriations for the Pilchuck, a point system to determine the number of offices one can hold each year, new equipment for boys' sports, and many other questions. Officers of the Council for 1947 were: David Nordquist ........................................................ President Ted Graves .........................................................Vice President Irene Grimm ............................................................ Secretary Don Silcox ............................................................. Treasurer Mr. Browneli ............................................................. Adviser Members were: Senior Class Representative, Clarence Nelson; Junior Class Representative, Don Wor- lund; Sophomore Class Representative, Rex Taylor; Freshman Class Representative, Sidney Strassburg; Let- termen, Edward Manning; Letterwomen, Betty Lundgren; Boys' Club, Gene Hungar; Girls' Club, Barbara Bailey; Drill Team, June Colton and Torch, Don Pardee. losiclt The Torch Honor Society, consisting of students maintaining a 3.0 grade average, was one of the most active clubs in school this year. One activity was the running and partial financing of the noon movies. The Torch members also presented a student body assembly and gave the annual party for the freshmen which was enjoyed by the faculty as well as the students. The officers were: President ............ Vice President ....... Secretary ............ Treasurer ............ Council Representative Sergeant-at-Arms Advisor .............. Mona Anderson ...Gene Hungar ... Janice Sather Betty Lundgren ... Don Pardee David Nordquist .... Mr. Bancroft O ice Btajl In September students were glad to see many new novels on the library shelves, especially Years of the Locust, Black Rose, and Lydia Bailey. A majority of the 133 new books were non-fiction. Most popular among these were Home to India, Burma Surgeon, Mr Lincoln's Cameramen, Paris Underground, and Anna and the King of Siam. Cleverly written books of American humor also proved to be much in demand. This year 10 student librarians have been concentrating on the reference section, becoming familiar with types of information contained in the reference volumes in order to direct students to the best possible source when necessary. Carrying on the duties in the offices of Mr. Hunt and Mr. Brownell during the year were the following high school students: Harriet Purtteman Feme Shepherd Rita Gantt Betty Lundgren Lora Lee Sovde Janice Smith Donnie Shewmaker Ruth Ahlberg Janet Brotten Helen Smith Gloria Gordon Marcella Driessche Altha Wilbur Dorothy Mach Thela Bettinger Arlene Dake Arlene Anderson Vivian McDaniels Don Silcox Joyce Hart These students answered the phone, took care of the stenographic and secretarial work, and handled the general office duties. Don Silcox, student body treasurer, handled the finances of the school very efficiently Besides receiving wide experience, the office staff rendered a worthwhile service to the school. 19
