STUDENT COUNCIL Helen Collins Pi LOT HI) by Mary Maxwell, senior, this year the Student Council decided “There’ll He Some Changes Made” and so they set forth to accomplish more for the school than previous Student Councils liad done. “We need some study hall rules,” they thought: and, with the aid of the Teachers’ Council drew up a set of laws to lie observed by one and all —rules tliat would provide for more unity in study hall routine. Then came Christmas time. Remember the lieautiful tree, and those great big. juicy “suckers”— tliat, dear readers, was the “doings” of none other than the Student Council. “Now let me think,” pined Mary, “I'm head of this organization and I would like a lounge where I can s| eud my free time. I think that Room 119 would l e just the place in which to relax—if it had some furniture.” So the Student Council again set out to cater to the school and before very long Room 119 was fur- nished, to the delight of every senior. Of course, it took a little coin for this, hut with the aid of the Thespians, Wranglers, and that good old Class of 1940 the room was soon fixed up” with a couple of divans and a comfy chair. (To say nothing of those straight-backed chairs which decorate the walls).

Turning the dog-eared leaves of this maroon-and-gray (with dust) tome plastere«l with note-worthy clippings, souvenirs, and pictures, we will lie carried lack through four adventurous years to relive those good old high school days, now mellowed by memory. On the first of the pages yellowed by time arc these sweet sentiments: “To you, students of I .a ramie High, with the hope that these | agcs will inspire you to rise to even greater heights (if possible) than we have already attained, we hereby dedicate this volume.” FRESHMAN DAYS Do you remcmlier how shaky we were when we started our careers as dazed Freshmen? Fortunately we hail Miss Ora Smith as our sponsor and we did very well with James Christensen, president: Wyoma Hinimclrcieh. vice-pres- dent: Margaret Conover, secretary; and Judy Topham. treasurer. Our two representatives to the student council were Gene Smith and Norma Jean McCain. The social events during the Freshman year were two all-school dances held Deccmlier 3 and March 31. Here’s a picture of the boys who played Ixiskcthalt for the class: James Christensen. George Prahl. Bill JelTryes. Jim Collins. Gene Smith. Bicksler Bremermann. Emery Miller.

Margaret Conover. Ruthann Johnson and la rna Sandstrom. SOPHOMORE DAYS Turning to the next page we see the heading. Sopho- more Days. We were over our tremors by this time. Just look at the confident faces in our class picture. What soph- isticated Sophomores. In the center are our class officers, who were nearly all girls. Mary White was president: Lorna Sandstrom. vice-president: Donna Beth Rogers, sec- retary; and Ruthann Johnson, treasurer. Student Coun- cil members were Gene Smith and Martha Kawalnata. and Dorothy Surcson was sponsor of the class. These two dance programs represent the two very suc- cessful «lances the class gave during the year. Here arc the names of the boys who went out for foot- ball. basketball and track.

It is Beatrice Snivcly. The last picture in this group is one of the Kay Kyser” assembly we gave to entertain tin: entire school. It was a huge success and was our last activity of the year. JUNIOR DAYS Junior Days—ah yes. those were exciting, weren’t they? We were just beginning to feel important, what with enter- taining the seniors at the Junior Prom, and all. What's this? A clipping from the Plainsman Herald announcing that Miss Fauth was to be our sponsor; Gene Smith, presi- dent; Bill Hamilton, vice-president; George Prahl. secre- tary; George Orrcll, treasurer; Mary White and John Clay, student council members. Under such able leadership, we Juniors really went to town. We sold $200 worth of candy and pop at tin: games. During the Basketball Tournament it was familiar to hear Billy Bendt, I uis Scarbrough, and Bob Jackson calling out their wares. Get your pop. hot «logs, chewing gum and candy.
