They not only determine the general policies for our education, hut they encour- age us to high standards of scholarship and charac- ter, assist us in fostering the traditions, and give counsel upon our many activities. Wfe, the class of l936, wish to express our ap- preciation to the hoard of education for the many services it has rendered and for the educational ad- vantages it has provided in order that we may func- tion effectually in a changing society.

ROBERT HARVEY, Prexidmf JAMES BURR, Secretary VERNON FRENCH, Treasurer BERTHA SOKER, Sponsor ln 1934 some of the L.l-l.S. leaders felt a need for student government and proceeded to collect all possible data on the organization and functioning of a student council. The next fall the work continued, and by the second semester of 1935 everything was ready for a vote of the student body. The 'Qyeasv won and the august body is composed of representa- tives from all classes with equal home room repre- sentation, junior high school, faculty, and extra-cur- ticular organizations of the school, seventeen in all. Under the counselorship of Miss Solcer, the council has relieved the teachers of a number of du- ties in achieving its purpose, that of promoting the general welfare of the school, to train for worthy citizenship, to develop intelligent leadership and the sane following of intelligent leadership. The council held a most interesting party in Nlarch, inviting all students as guests who had in any manner helped to carry out the program of the council. Neat arm bands in orange with black letters were made by the members and are worn to identify those in authority. The council has met some opposition, hut most students feel that it has been very worthwhile and are desirous of its continuance with the whole heart- ed support of the student body. Page S
