juni r Representative Sophomore Representative Student Council Works For School Spirit Just as a nation is no better than its gov- ernment, Lincoln is no better than its govern- ing agencies, and the Student Council, student executive and legislative group, had this for its guiding principle this year. School spriit, citizenship and activity stemmed from the student officers. One of the major projects undertaken by the council was a pep and school spirit drive during football season. On a Monday morn- ing the students were greeted by black and gold streamers up and down the halls and signs everywhere urging pep and school spirit. A clean-up campaign was organized through various clubs, and an effort to better the existing conditions in the cafeteria and school grounds was carried out. Last October the council followed the plans of the previous year's council in playing host to representatives from Stadium, Bel- larmine, Clover Park and Fife in a county conference. By exchanging ideas and meth- ods, the different schools were able to bring back information that would help promote student government in their schools. Using the theme of the daffodil festi- val, the council sponsored a dance, The Daf- fodil Daze in the spring and the proceeds from this were used to contribute to the P.A. system and scholarship fund. It was decided that the prices of school dances at Lincoln should be lowered and to bring this about the council purchased a sound system and record player for the gym, thus cutting down the expense which always had to be paid for the services of a band. Another method used to raise money was a cookie sale in March to all teachers with the idea that any money made on the sale would go toward the purchase of cur- tains for the cafeteria. With curtains in the lunchroom, the council thought the effect would help curb the untidiness. Along with these extra projects, the council found time to ratify the usher club's new constitution and to recognize the newly re-organized Lettermen's Club. ts Dan Mackey LaMoyne Barcot President Vice-President Mary Nuich Shirley Esnuuf Dennis Melander john Coates Lincoln News Editor Finance Commissioner 7 Marilyn Madsen Helen Feutz Secretary Faculty Adviser Neil Rader Glen Greer Pat Murphy Senior Representative Boys' Club Representative Girls' Club Representul Helen jeter Lincolnian Editor

True Government ls Aim Of Student Court With an eye to the fulfillment of true government by the students themselves, the student court moved into its third year as a part of Lincoln's student governing system amidst numerous troubles. Under the able leadership of Judge Jim Traynor and Assistant Judge Ed Olmstead, the court overcame much opposition to suc- ceed in carrying out a successful year of law enforcement. Carol Daniel was a clerk-bailiff and Arthur Turner was faculty adviser. The problem of apprehending violaters of school regulations was the major obstical facing the officials of the court as they took office. Various methods were suggested and several were tried with little results. About mid-semester an outbreak of vio- lations created a serious situation and Mr. lim Traynor, judge Ed Olmstead, Assistant judge Beal called on all school and club officials to back the student court in its drive to curb the actions of a few. This call seemed to work and there were few violations from then until the end of the semester. ln regular court sessions held weekly, violations such as smoking, skipping class, and poor conduct were dealt with by either Jim or Ed with a five-man jury deciding whether the defendant was guilty or not guilty. With one more year of experience behind it, the student court has a stronger hold as a part of Lincoln's student government and with many ideas already formulated and ready to put into effect next year, the court will show by improvement that it can be a benefit to the school.
