Friends Among Friends The girls' council is working for the school. It is an organization made up of twelve girls, usually two from each grade. These girls are reliable and capable of holding their position. The duty of the council is to help the principals :ml the school in general. They hold their meetings once a week, and discuss agairs of the school. The president is usually a ninth grader, who has been a pupil of this school longer than the other members. Most pupils think that the council is an organization formel to witcfm :ini report the doings of the other students, l.ut it is the councii's work to help to en force Qie different rules of the school, and to the best of their ability see that they ar: carried out. The girls' gymnasium teachers preside over the meetings, and mils: suggestions and alterations where they think it is necessary, for the gool of the school.

, n 1 f FRIENDS oN GRAY CARPETS 1 Friends Around the Long Table The Board of Control was organized in 1913, and has accomplished many things for McKinley within the last six years. The members are elected by the pupils, two from each class, and are supervised by Mr. Brown. The term of office is one year. VVe wonder sometimes if the pupils of McKinley fully realize what the Board of Control has done to improve the school. The Board represents and manages the affairs of the Student Body. Xhlhile. of course, it is not possible for the Board, or even the Student Body, actually to provide very much in way of improvement, we can all do our part. And it has been the part of the Board to suggest and encourage and work for some of the best things lX lcKinley has at the present time. It was at the suggestion of pupils through the Board of Control that the Cabin in the mountains was purchased, where venture occasionally groups of pupils accompanied by a teacher. The cafeteria was started under encouragement of the Board. At first it was crowded into a room about the size of a class room, the kitchen, the serving counter, and the tables all in one room. Now it occupies a large part of our new building, and every day supplies about eight hundred pupils with luncheons. Great things come from small beginnings. It was the Board of Control that suggested the need of the Candy Store and the Book Store, and helped ta bring belore the teachers the pupils' desire for these things. The present Board has taken it as their responsibility to get the moving picture machine. The pictures to be shown will be decided upon by Mr. Brown and the Board. VVon't it be a grand and glorious feeling to attend real movies at Mcliinley and to know that the macine that shows them is ou own machine? This moving picture machine is to pay not only for itself but also for the beautiful curtain on our stage. Now, if the dimes come in rapidly enough, we may gain the name of Curtain Raisern, for we surely want that curtain paid for. The various ollicers of the present Board are: Philip Albers, president, Ruth Adcock, vice-president, Floyd XVilson, secretary, Margaret Thomas, treasurer. The previous Boards of Control at McKinley have tried very hard to create 'eff ' . ' ' t ' 1 'Snr iI 'fi'fW- -L -. are ef- rr aww- 7 . f g ' ' ' ' H Y ' V wsrL3?se 2w annie , . .

Next to the arched winclow are pretty glass book cases, containing hooks very interestingly illustrated in color. The books in these cases are most enticing.
