INTERMEDIATE STUDENT COUNCIL TI-IE INTERMEDIATE STUDENT COUNCIL is a body of students organized for the purpose of promoting leadership among the students, to develop in the student an appreciation of democracy, to promote the best interests of the school, to foster sentiment for law and order, and to insure cooperation between the students and the faculty. With these aims as their guide, they have successfully undertaken numerous activities throughout the school year. The council has been in operation for the past eight years, and has proven to be a great asset to the schcol as well as to the intermediate division. This year, under the guidance of Mitsuo Honda, president: Herbert Minn, vice-president: Barbara Axion, secretary: Katherine Lum, treasurer: and Miss Wilhelmina Schwallie, adviser, they enjoyed a very successful year. Accomplishments of the year included the following: revision of the hand- book, supporting the injury fund for football boys, and cooperating with the high school student council in various school projects.

STUDENT COUNCIL A DECADE ago the first student council of Leilehua was organized for the bene- fit and the general welfare of the school and its citizens. As the years have steadily gone by, it has been growing in importance until today it has become an integral part of the school and also a great necessity. With the opening of another school year, the student council operated under a new system by which student representatives and alternates were elected through their social studies classes instead of their fifth period classes. Coping with many vitally important problems at the opening of school, the student council commenced its duties with great zeal. lt successfully executed the sale of 600 athletic tickets, and a few weeks later launched the student body fee drive, emerging with satisfactory results. To carry out the various functions of the student council, and to equalize the activities among the students, many new committees and commissions were formed within the council. They were as follows: Student Participation, Social, Handbook, Constitutional Revision, and the Publicity Committees, and the Activity, Campus, and Athletic Commissions. Each commission and committee consisted of about five members of the council and a high school teacher as a sponsor to aid them in carrying out their work. As the year advanced, the student council served as the medium between the administration and the stu- dent body and has solved many problems. ' Climaxing a busy and a successful year, a revised constitution of the stu- dent body association was finally set before the students for approval. With its many new phases and systematized plan of student organization, it is hoped that this revised constitution will serve its best to the future councils of Leilehua. Officers for the year were ludith Kunihiro, presidenty Gilbert P vice- presidentg Esther Ahn, secretary, Toshimasa Morita, treasurerg Mrs. I. adviser.

STUDENT POLICE UNDER THE direction of Mr. Harry Scott, the student police have established a reputation for maintaining peace and order throughout the school. In the senior division, Stanward Kim has acted as sheriff, while in the junior group, Frederick Kim, with Herbert Minn as deputy, and their student assistants, have enforced the rules and regulations of Leilehua. With twenty-eight boys in the senior group and twenty-nine in the intermedi- ate, students have not only kept order at noon, but also have patrolled football games and various school programs and cooperated with teachers and janitors in promoting school welfare. Shifted each week from one post to another, each officer has had a fair chance to serve at every post. In this age of speed and ,motorized transportation, the most common hazard to pedestrians and motoristsis that of traffic accidents. To provide for the safety of school children during school hours, the l.P.O. organization formed a few years ago, was introduced at Leilehua by Mr. Ioseph Dostal, and has become increas- ingly important. This year's force of twenty boys under the leadership of Mr. Scott and Chief Iames Kim has given a year of efficient service on the crossroads. With the purchase of raincoats, they were able to go on duty, rain or shine. They also rendered assistance at football games and at the carnival. With the force divided into two divisions, Company A directed traffic before school and Company B after school hours. Each company has been proud of its record of no accidents. As a climax to the year's service the organization took a trip to Honolulu to see how their brother officers fulfilled their duties. On a visit to the police depart- ment, Detective Stevenson gave them much information on drugs, narcotics and crime.
