STUDENT GOVERNMENT IN LRHS The Student Body Organization of Little Rock Senior High School is made up of every enrolled student in school. The students elect from among their numbers a president, a vice president, and a tenth, an eleventh, and a twelfth grade represent- ative from the respective grade levels. The legislative body is called the Student Coun- cil. The Student Body officers serve as officers of the council. The council also elects from its mem- bers, a corresponding secretary, a recording sec- retary, and a treasurerg the president appoints a parliamentarian and a sergeant-at-arms. Business approved by the council passes to an executive group known as the Principalls Cabinet, composed of the Principal as chairman, the Stu- dent Council sponsors, one other faculty member, and the Student Body officers. Student Council members are elected by and from the individual home rooms, and serve as a means of expression for the Student Body as a whole. The Student Council of Little Rock High School is a member of the National Association of Stu- dent Councils, the Southern Association of Stu- dent Councils, and the Arkansas Association of Student Councils. . During the school year 1949-50 the Student Council sent representatives to the southern and state association meetings. The only means the Student Council has of making money is through pay assemblies. Four of these pay assemblies were sponsored by the council last year, and were well supported by the Student Body. The profits from these assemblies are used for school projects. Several projects of the council are inherited each year. One of these inherited projects is the publication and sale of a student directory, con- taining the name, address, and phone number of each student in LRHS. Other duties of the coun- cil that are passed down from year to year are: decorating the goal post before each football game, sponsoring and planning Color Day activi- tiesg and decorating parts of the high school building for Christmas. These are a few olf the things the Student Coun- cil has done to make LRHS one of the best schools in the nation, but few if any of these projects could be carried out if it were not for the two teacher sponsors of the council, Mrs. Margaret Reiman, mathematics teacherg and Harry Carter, boys' counselor. With these two to guide as sponsors, the group works to carry out its plans. COUNCIL IN SESSION
