Believing that Lincoln's present school songs were out of date, the council sponsored a song contest, in which an original song written by Alice Sizer, and a new set of verses to Onward Lincoln were judged best and named as Lincoln's official songs. Two of the group, Harry Johnson and Leonard McGuire, were among those rep- resenting Lincoln at the High School Leaders and Journalists' Conference at the Uni- versity of Washington in November. On their return they suggested that an institution such as Lincoln should have a creed. Accordingly, a creed was drawn up and approved by the advisers. In February, when Leonard McGuire, vice president, was graduated from school, a special election was held, which resulted in Jeanne Van Antwerp being chosen vice president for the spring semester.

Commissioner of Finance REAL student government among the members of the Associated Student Body of Lincoln High is provided by the Student Council, made up of students who are leaders in many phases of school activity. The members of the council are elected each Vear by the student body. The aims of the council are to achieve a better Lincoln High, conducted in such a Wav as to benefit the largest number of people to the greatest extent. These ideals are carried out as far as possible at the regular weekly meetings of the group. Under authority granted by the school constitution, the council has the power to control matters of importance to the student body, provided that its actions are within the regulations of the school board, the faculty, and the A. S. B. constitution. Handling this power properly is not an easy task, but this year's council, with Harry Johnson as its president, has carried out its duties in a creditable way. The many matters which the council has acted upon during the past year include the amendment of several club constitutions, the improvement of conduct at school Ten
