RUSSELL RUTTAN .7444 ' It is altogether fitting that, at this time when the end of another school year is close at hand, we, the senior class of 1940, should extend the appreciation of the entire stu- dent body to the faculty of L. M. H. S. Little do we students realize, sometimes, in our mad rush to and from school, how futile our feeble attempts for learning would be if it were not for the help and en- couragement given us by our teachers. When we do finally awaken to the truth, We discover that the golden opportunity for ex- pressing gratitude has passed. Therefore, the present Senior class dedicates these pages to our teachers, and to them we say, Thanks for everything. -p f 5 Q .A . . s 'Z V I SPANGLER aw., Q. . p ,, . , ,Q E V b xg - - -' 5, ' by V' ' -.

The sponsors are Miss Davenport and Mr. Bailey. Billy Joe Dill is the chairman of the Assembly Com- mittee, Dean Stoneback has charge of the Social Committee, the Sec- retarial Committee is headegl by Betty June Sullivan, Howard Suth- erland heads the Activity Com- mittee, and Stanley Nelson and Betty Moore command the Publi- city Committee. The Executive Board is a small form of the Council and its func- tions are siuiilar to those of thc Council. The board meets every other Monday, and reports are given by each committee chairman. In these meetings the Executive Board frames legislation for pre- sentation to the council. Business and its order is decided upon for the next meeting. Siacfenl' 6 'l Knock! Knock! Knock! The first meeting of the 1939-40 student council was called to order, and a long line of success- ful projects was begun. One of the most outstanding activities was Lawrence's par- ticipation in the state-Wide meeting of Kansas Student Councils held in Salina March 29-30. Twenty-nine schools and one-hun- dred sixty students took part in this year's convention. Miss Davenport and Mr. Bailey accompanied ten students, Martha Dooley, Betty Liebbrand, Fern Stranathan, Betty Moore, Mabel Baker, Bob White, Billy Joe Dill, Dean Stoneback, Max Falk- enstein, and Stanley Nelson who represented Lawrence. Lawrence took the initiative and proposed to change the Federation's name by an amendment which finally read: This organization shall be called 'The Kansas Association of Student Counils.' This amendment was adopted. Another of the worth while and very successful projects was the Student Council Shoe Fund. A goal of fifty dollars was set, but the drive was so successful that slightly over fifty-nine dollars was raised. Added to that several pairs of shoes and galoshes were donated to the fund by the students. The traffic in the halls and on steps was changed from a Pardon me to a Thank you.'l The Council put in a plan of traffic flow. The students were instructed to keep to the right in the halls. The north half of each section of stairs was desig- nated for down-flowing traffic, the south half for up-going traffic. Also, in passing an amendment to the constitution which stated that all members should have an HM average and no grade of HF , the council settled a long disputed question be- tween the constitution and the point system. The former stated that an M average was required for council membership, and the latter required all M's or better. The second amendment was that, in case of vacancy in the office of president, vice president or secretary, the office would be filled by vote of two-thirds of the council. The council is composed of thirty-one representatives, one from each advisory group, and seven members on the executive board. The ofhces of president, vice-president, secretary of the council, and a representative-at-large from each class comprise the executive board. Each member of the executive board heads a committee.
