1949 Mmide STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS President , , . , PHIL HESS Vice President DON BOWYER Secretary-Treasurer FREDA GLOVER HISTORY The Student Council of Mannington High School was organized in the fall of 1941. At that time a constitution was drafted and adopted. The group consists of the president, vice president and secretary-treasurer of the student body, a representative from each home room, and the class presidents, all of whom are elected by popular vote. The promotion of school citizenship, school spirit, school pride, student responsibility and high scholarship are all goals of this organization. The Student Council hopes eventually to work out a system of student government in Manningtoii High School, however, this ultimate goal is one that cannot be attained quickly. It must be developed gradually as the students and teachers feel a need for it and as students especially are willing to assume the responsibility for it. In addition to Phil Hess, Don Bowyer and Freda Glover, the 1948-49 member- ship includes the following class presidents: I-Iarlan Broadwater, Joe Politoslce, George Murphy, Betty Lou Dawson, Charlotte Church and John Moseley. The home room representatives are: Betty Lou Glover, Betty Jo Shrader, James Sturm. Mike Capelety, Hugh Martini, Mary Lou Garcia, Joyce Walker, Nola I-Iissam, Fred Satterfield, Charles Lemley, Virginia I-Iall, Rosemary Morris, Billy Francis, Danny Politoske, Phydellas Lake, I-larry Mobley, Phillip Rush, Jack Frost and Wayne Thorne. Mrs. Meade Price is the faculty sponsor. -Freda Glover. 50
