STUDENT COUNCIL TOP ROW- Harold Schneider, Elaine Mesenbring, Dorothy Ernst, Adviser, Mr. Schaumburg. BOTTOM ROW- Orland Kruschke, Patty Sheppard, Lorraine Bathen, Maynard Dammann. The student council of the Lester Prairie High School was organized on Friday, September 15, 1939, following the suggestion of the principal, M1'. Schaumburg. This is the first time in the history of the Lester Prairie Public School that there has ever been a student council. The purpose of the council is to grant charters to clubs and organizations of the school, to have charge of financial matters pertaining to extra-curricular activities, to make 1'ecom- mendations to student body on any points desirable for school welfare and to enforce any rules necessary for the betterment of the school. Some of the accomplishments of the council during the 1939-40 school term were: Chair- men were appointed to improve the pep meeting programs, the student assembly met to give suggestions as to new clubs and organizations for the Welfare of the school, and chairmen were appointed to control traffic and talking on stairs and in the hall. Agmar Spleiss and Orland Kruschke did this work throughout the 1939-40 school term, and they did the work very Well. The council has been active during the 1939-40 school term, and we hope it shall continue on in future years.
