They Represent Us One of the leading student governing agen- cies of the school is the home room repre- sentatives. ln the fall each home room nom- inates and elects a member to this important group. Meeting regularly, it acts as a voice for the entire school, presenting views and ideas of the student body. Being the largest student governing body at Lincoln high, the group is divided into numerous committees to facilitate better or- ganization and planning. Hmong these are the stair Well guards, the pennant committee, and the club service committee. Others are the efficiency, scrap book, and bulletin board committees. They promote the sale of activity tickets and collect class dues. During the second semester, the repre- sentatives presented as an assembly a forum composed of high school students from North- east and Beatrice. Pit this assembly school problems Were discussed and the various par- ticipants described the methods their schools used to solve these problems. ln the spring the home room representatives marshall the school into groups to eradicate the ever-present dandelions and beautify the campus in general. ln off-assembly and home room periods many students may be seen spading weeds and gathering up waste paper. Whenever visitors come to the school, it is the duty of the representatives to guide them about the building. The alternates distribute the Hdvocate every Wednesday and take the place of the representative if he is absent.

Sopho- mores, juniors, and seniors all have represen- tation on the council and through the petition system the student body has complete respon- sibility for the choice of students they make members on the council. Each member serves on a specific committee which keeps informed on school needs. These committees take charge of extra-curricular activities, the club schedule, clean-up activities, safety cam- paigns, and provide for hall guards and door- men. Every Wednesday at 2:30 the council meets to discuss and act on student affairs. One of the most important of its functions is the pro- duction of Toy Night. The council is in com- plete charge of this spring event. With faculty assistance it judges contestants, attends re- hearsals, and carries on an extensive adver- tising campaign. Before any work is started a theme is developed. The theme this year was a night in a U. S. O. recreational center of an army fafnp. Result of all this labor is not only an entertaining production but also is a source of finance for the student fund. Several times during the year, the council sponsors Friday matinee parties in the gymnasium. Pit the first of every semester, a sophomore party introduces the newcomers to each other. The student council is constantly aiding in reforms that will benefit the entire school. It plays an important role in school life. During school hours and long afterwards, it works to promote a more efficient, better student gov- ernment. . George Howard calls the meeting to order.
