JUNIOR LASSIES The Junior High grades have long needed and wanted clubs because they were excluded from all others in the high school. In November of 1946 the preliminary meetings were held and the Junior Lassles were born. The Charter members were picked, on scholorship basis, from the 7A, 8B, a.nd 8A's Q! that semes- ter. Necessarily now there are no 7th graders, and our 8A's and 9th graders. Until the Charter is drawn up and the club ls well organized no more members will be taken in--probably not until September 1947. Even then the membership will remain 30 in number to enable the club to have its social meetings in the member's homes. The aims are to encourage scholarship, create 'sociabilityf and to maintain good,,citizenship in the Junior High girls. Our Sponsor is Mrs. Elrod.

STUDENT CUUHGH Although only a llttle more than a year old, Melvlndale Student Council is playing an increasingly important part in its school's activities. The council ls providing opportunities for the practice ol democratic procedures. The support of students, teachers and administrators has made possible the splendid development of the council so far. Everyone realizes that a student council requires a number or! years to attain maturity. All will benefit by continuing their support and helpful suggestions. Being a member of the Student Councll is an honor and a privilege--an honor to be chosen to represent ones fellow student, and a privilege to serve them. qu Q.
