STUDENT COUNCI L the the the 30 This year marked the fourth anniversary of the organization of student council in the Louisiana High School. This year, as in past, this governing group dealt with the many problems with which students and faculty are confronted. Such problems as the raising of money for school purposes, improving the general conditions and appearance of the school, and the maintaining of good pupil morale, citizenship, and school spirit were all dealt with in a democratic and frank manner. The student council was composed of eleven members and was sponsored by our principal, Mr. Lankford. The president, vice president, and secretary-treasurer were chosen by the student body in a special election, and the remainder of the group consisted of the four class presidents and a representative from each class. Many of the details of planning the annual basketball tournament were taken care of by the student council. The duties performed included such things as finding housing for out of town players'.making posters and signs, drawing up a set of courtesy rules for students to follow, and the making of the tournament programs. The student council truly helped to make the tournament a very successful one. The student council members for the year were as follows: president, George Luther; vice president, Jimmy Garner; secretarytreas-urer.

FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA Dances, pot-luck suppers, parties, banquets, teas and fashion shows were the outstanding social events of the Louisiana Chapter of F. H. A. for the 1950-51 year. In December, they had a pot-luck supper and Christmas party. A Valentine dance made a big hit in February. Billy Ray Bass was our king. Representatives from each class were: Bobby Gast, senior; Dale McMahill, junior; Eddie Steers, sophomore; and David Hunter, freshman. A Mother and Daughter Banquet was given on March 1. April blossomed forth with an Eighth grade Tea and the annual Spring Fashion Show. The sub-district meeting was held at Bowling Green this year. The Louisiana chapter was proud to have another girl chosen as an officer. Margaret Chapuis was elected vice-president. A bus-load of girls was taken to Columbia to attend the state meeting in April. A very enjoyable day was spent. The local officers for the 1950-1951 year were: president, Nina Strack; vice-president, Dortha Love;secretary and treasurer, Darlene Pol 1ard;reporter, Helen Halliburton ; hi s tori an, Jonann Pritchett. The club mothers were: Mrs. Clark Hudson, Mrs. Price Hughart, Mrs. Elza Griffith, and Mrs. Elmo Pritchett. It appears as though our year was spent in social activities. Many hours outside the regular school day were spent in preparation for these events and the fifty-six members of Future Homemakers of America received valuable training in leader ship and in being successful hostesses. By running basketball food stands they were able to purchase a new gas stove and sewing machine. The Home Economics classes were as busy as usual, during the 1950-1951 year with their regular school work. This page sponsored by Gregory's.
