The chief aim of the council is the maintenance of good citizenship in the high school. This year the perennial fun of public initiation by the organi- zations caused the group to take a stand against such initiations during school time as tl»ey are dis- rupting. The council recommended that no costumes or placards are to lie worn by initiates. All initia- tions are to be held during the club meetings. The officers of the Student Council were Nancy Foreman, president: Charles Hegewald. vice-presi- dent; and Lillian O’Dea, secretary. Miss Sargent was named sponsor.

Yet without learning the truths, which inspired the founders of our nation, and the facts about our government and our relation to it, living il becomes a thing of chance. We may act rightly by accident, but we arc far more likely to do so if we are equipped with the information which will help us to reason and judge what is best Each of us has a place in the life of his community, and the community will reach its possibilities only as each member of it reaches up to his opportunities for service and achievement. tl

Pt«h w ITH A NEARLY complete instrumentation, the sixty-five piece Laramie High Band, under the direction of A. O. Wheeler, has made several public appearances during the past school year. Playing at all home football and basketball games, the band furnished lively and rousing music, cheer- ing the team and student body on to the final goal. The band also attended the Cheyennc-I.aramie foot- ball game November u, in Cheyenne, and performed at the Wyoming-Utah University Homecoming foot- ball game. Taking part in several parades for pep rallies, bond drives, and political rallies, the color bearers and color guard were used for the first time this year. The addition lent color and dignity to the api earance of the unit on parade. On February 22, the band gave its annual con- cert with a Victory motif, and during Music Week they performed in the bandshcll at Washington Park. Both of the concerts featured the outstanding in- dividual players, and the programs included solos, sextets, quartets, and duets. The other perform- ances where the band played as a group were at the County Teachers’ Conference, and at various school assemblies throughout the entire school year. (Continued on Page 23)
