Stuolent Council HAT is more befitting in this democratic world of today than student government in the high schools? A group of reliable representatives selected by their classmates assemble weekly to study and attempt to solve all difficulties and problems relating to school life. An organization of this type gives the student a taste of the principle upon which our democracy was founded and prepares him to take his place in the ranks of the good citizen. lt requires the cooperation and sympathy of every individual in high school. Every student, indirectly a member, should take an active interest in the operation of their government. The all-school Prom has proved to be one of the most successful func- tions. The Leap Year prom presented in the spring of l94O met with approval and was well attended by Loganites. Due to this, it shall become an annual affair as long as the pupils so desire. Many other subjects have been touched upon by the council such as snowballing, protection of school property, and the like, the latest being an official school nickname. Central has its Red Raiders, Aquinas has its Blue- golds, and now, thanlis to the Student Council, Logan has its Logannaires. The growth of the council is illustrated by its first branch, the Noon Hour Organization. Those pupils in the building from twelve to one are now governing themselves. The supervisors will agree that conditions have im- proved so that faculty supervision is no longer necessary, except as matter of form. The powers of the council are gradually increasing, its aims and purposes broadening. Its future holds great promise. But fundamentally, its success depends on you. T011 Row-R. Allvn, J. Short, D.

We Make l.avvs For Logannaires Page 26 .7,,..,1Q-a1'w ' H ..-af f w SMA 1 Q One ofthe most progressive steps ever taken by the Student Council was the appointment ot an assembly committee. Criticism by the student body of the movies shown in assemblies and of the assemblies in general, prompted this action. Marian Franke and Dick Bice under chairman John Streeter plan to make a thor- ough study ot the problem in their search for a solution. One ot the chief stumbling blocks already discovered is the lack of movie reels for school use on the market. Streeter thinks a solution of the problem lies in more assem- blies by the students as well as for them. A source of able entertainment could readily be tound in the music department or in the Speech ll course in dramatics. The council elected as officers tor the sec- ond semester: president, Glendon Selbog sec- retary, Alice Colburng and vice-president, Bill fk B iii. V Another improvement sponsored by our law- making body is the adoption of a bulletin board for the hall, notifying all students ot coming events. Much more is expected of ihe council this year since it is evident that the students themselves are beginning to show more judgment in the selection of their rep- resentatives.

Commercial Club H LEASE, take a letter, Miss Brown. Yes, I know that's the name of a song, but in the future this statement may become very familiar to some of our Commercial Clubbersf' The purpose of the organization is to pro- mote interest in the Commercial field. Sever- al times a year the girls listen to speakers in commercial work who tell them what to expect from the professional world. By means of this advice the girls learn what personal assets, as well as skill will help them succeed in the high- ly competitive world of business. Any girl in the eleventh or twelfth grade taking a commercial subject is elegible for membership in the club. Meetings are held every third Wednesday of the month, after which lunch is served. Under the leadership of Miss Helen Gilson, the girls enjoy two annual events, the covered dish supper at Christmas and a picnic in the spring. You'll find most of the members lively girls .
