STUDENT PILOTS ■ The Student Council was first organized as a student senate in 1928, when the idea that students participate in school discipline was discussed in Problems of Democracy. The first president was Charles Simmons, a member of this class. Mr. Howard Drake and Dr. S. N. Ewan, Jr., were the original sponsors. Since its main purpose was to promote a democratic spirit within the school, the senate was especially interested in the point system of activity award. It also judged individual students and, by presenting the student viewpoint, often aided the faculty. The council was officially recognized in 1929. Leonard Hahn was elected president; Miss Virginia Lilley and Mr. Howard Drake were made co-sponsors. This year was the first that the council financed and edited the handbook. In 1930 the constitution was amended to admit class presidents and Miss Helen Brickell became the sponsor, a position which she still holds. Kimble Hicks was elected president and again the council enlarged the scope of its service-to-students. Herbert Ostroff presided in 1931, and Evan Bartleson in 1932. The president of the Honor Society was automatically admitted to membership and representatives were elected from the various musical and athletic groups. Lansdowne became a charter member of the Philadelphia Intersuburban Student Council Association; began the custom of writing Christmas letters to famous people; and, in order to raise money, sponsored Noon dances. With Bob Jessup as president in 1933, the council revised the constitution, developed the point system, and supervised important Pep meetings. This same year Lansdowne was the host to the Intersuburban Convention. ■ Under the leadership of A1 Gray, the year 1934 saw more history in the making. The council sponsored the school store where the proceeds finance the handbook. Membership was further enlarged to include the heads of both HI-Y groups. The council operated the gridiron refreshment stand and thus financed L's for the athletes. It installed the new school mascots, Arno Ewan and Alphie Schrader. Another new project was the first All-Student Assembly— with no teachers present—where students were free to speak as long as they were orderly. It also supervised the printing of the school calendar of weekly events, conducted an intensive drive for better assemblies, and performed many small services— lighting the bulletin board and providing cheaper bus transportation for students. 22
