rogram lrector o e o Front and center! Into the spotlight steps H. C. Mardis, the man of the hour .... Mr. Mardis is often called upon to act as author, director, and even as announcer. He writes the prologue to many a career with his sound decisions on school policy. As principal of Lincoln High School, Mr. Mardis, in no small way, has made this school an important factor leading to suc- cess for many students. His counsel and decisions are of benefit to pupils, not only while they attend L. H. S., but long after they have graduated, gone on to advanced schools, and established careers. Director Mardis states, 'lThe school tries to provide subjects that will fill the needs of the Lincoln High student, not subjects which merely fill five hours. Under his direction, this aim of Mr. Mardis is carried out, for in addition to the essential 3 R's, there are subjects which not only teach students what they need to know, but teach them in an interesting and often entertaining manner. Plnnouncing the schedule of the day, Mr. Mardis takes his place as news commentator to broadcast over Station L.H.S. Whether it's a very important as- sembly or a club announcement that affects only a few, Mr. Mardis is willing to report it. Day after day, he has given his time and energy to make Lincoln High School one of the outstanding preparatory schools of the state. Under his leadership and through his planning and never-ceasing interest in the school and the student, Lincoln High can look forward to becoming an even greater school. Mr. H. C.

Mighty Mike for Sheriff! and similar slo- gans were popular during the campaigning in connection with the County Day participa- tion sponsored by the Student Council. The Student Council organized the filing, checked candidates to make sure they were legally qualified, directed the printing of bal- lots, and counted ballots in both the primary and the general election. The Council is made up of twelve seniors, six juniors, and two sophomores who are elected by and represent their classes. The group is organized to promote school activi- ties, to accept and consider proposals made by members of the student body, to cooperate with the faculty in maintaining the standards of the school, and to create and maintain a consciousness of the responsibility of the school to the community. Student Council responsibilities also in- clude the direction of the E.C.A. point system, hall guards and hall guides, the club schedule, the publication of the handbook, the new- comers party, and Open House. Meetings are held each Wednesday at 2:40, and student questions and suggestions, often coming from the question box posted outside the main office, are discussed. Toy Night on the Air was the year's theme for the annual variety show presented by Stu- dent Council and gladly accepted by the stu- dent body and the community. This year's Council also inaugurated a popular student football banquet, which brought forth a regal King and Queen. Student Council keeps things at Lincoln High alive and moving as the show goes on.
