Each year, during the spring semester, the members of the Council are elected by popular vote. These representatives attend the weekly meetings with the aim of developing better government for the benefit of the majority of the pupils in Lincoln High.

If Lincoln High School has been a place where right responses have met varying circum- stances and where proper habits of conduct have been formed, then it has played a part in the advancement toward a national ideal. A vision today becomes a reality tomorrow when hope, aspirations, and serious intent direct activities. To the graduates the challenge is to uphold ideals acquired. To those remaining the problem is to make school life a forecast of desirable future conditions. -W. C. P. MEDDINS. Nine

Furthermore, for the purpose of improving the appearance of Lincoln High, a School Pride Campaign was launched in january, 1932. Through effective advertising and editorials, US. P. developed rapidly and remained in the minds of the students. Michael Zelenak and Mary Westwood, from the school, were delegates to the High School Leaders' Conference held at the University of Washington in October. Bob Hull and Ed Bowman were representatives to the High School Journalism Conference at the University. Considering the past clean-up campaigns quite successful toward gaining outside admiration for the appearance of our school grounds, the same idea was this year continued through the co-operation of the school clubs. In all, the Student Council is a very good governing body, judged by the numerous accomplishments performed in the interests of the members of Lincoln High School. Mr. Meddins, Miss Gowell, and Mr. Mann are the advisers. Eleven
