.?55.9lMef Functioning as one of the most important and useful organizations in the school, the present council enjoyed a year of activity, marked by wise decisions and fruitful planning. It commenced its work after the student body elected Bob Hanrahan, presidentg Ted Demmerle, vice president, Nancy Murphy, secretary, and Jack Randall, treasurer. The first undertak- ing was the Football Victory Dance. A special feature of this event was the signing of a Guest Book by all those who attended the Thanksgiving Day game. In order to help the Oracle editorial staff in the selection of the dedicatee of the yearbook, this year's council drew up a set of regulations, which will be used in future years. With the new semester, Bob Hanrahan and Nancy Murphy were re- elected, While jack Randall and Charles Fischer took office as vice president and treasurer, respectively. Again, the first project was a dance-the very successful Leap Year Dance, one of the most enjoyable and entertaining affairs in many years. Cooperating with the Parent-Teacher Association, the Council gave its wholehearted support to the Friday Fling, which proved to be a popular enterprise. As customary, the Student Council purchased honor society pins, honor certificates, and merit awards. It also promoted the sale of war stamps and bonds by holding various drives such as the Flying Jeep Campaign. This year the Student Council again earned its fine reputation for service to the school, not only by sponsoring many student activities but also by making new rules and initiating new ideas.

Well, your worries are over if you hunt up a member of the Library Council. Want to know what the Library Council does? This organization is a group of 52 of your friends, who, under the leadership of Miss Knipe, keep the library in running order for your convenience. Keeping the books in good condition, straightening shelves, typing pockets and catalog cards, stamp- ing books, and putting them on the shelves after they have been returned- these are only a few of the tasks which the members perform to keep your library operating smoothly. It's hardly necessary to mention how the library can be of help to the students of M. H. S. Any problem that challenges you, the Leader of To- morrow, can be solved in the library: questions requiring research, material for themes and speeches, information about the armed services, or what to read in your spare time. Under our efficient officers, Carolyn Rand, Robert Dwinell, and Marie Offenbacher, we hold a business meeting once a month. But all work and no play would make the Library Council a dull organiza- tion. When we feel the need of relaxation, we have a party. Eight of our members will be graduated in June. Page Him
