The Advisory Council discusses these various school and community problems at monthly luncheon meetings held in the school cafeteria throughout the school year. The school and community present their problems, and suggestions are made for solving them. Many improvements have resulted from these suggestions. The ultimate aim of the Advisory Council is to bring about a better understanding among the students, teachers, and members of the community. They are indeed accomplishing this aim, as they have just completed their tenth year as a success- ful organization. Both the community and the school have profited by their cooperation within this group. Richard Gillette Page thirteen
