Reaching toward their goal of establishing and main- taining leadership, fellowship, and democracy among students, McComb High’s Student Council serves the school by inaugurating projects which emphasize school spirit and participation in school-sponsored activities. Membership in the Student Council is composed of a representative from each homeroom and a member-at- large from each class. Led by four officers elected by the student body, and Miss Emma Flautt, the faculty adviser, Student Council members began this year by acting as guides and helpers in the sophomore orientation program. They provided a student telephone, placed teacher name- plates on class room doors, sold lunch tickets, assigned parking places, and directed Teacher Appreciation Week. Homecoming, the Spring Formal, and Stunt Night are sponsored annually by the council. To finance their pro- jects, SC maintains the cold drink and pencil vendors, op- erates the student store where necessary school supplies may be purchased and sells corsages for the Homecoming and Thanksgiving football game and for the Spring For- mal. The council attempts to promote good citizenship and school spirit through the School Spirit Awards system. 133 a As is all Marking the parking President Gault chart, Robertson president of the Student Council, Robbie DeCoux also president of the student body and presides af school assemblies .
