THE STUDENT COUNCIL BACK ROW: Gregory, Tregeder, T. Hobbs, Dickman, Staake , Surratt, Looman, Allen, Smith, Fricke. FRONT ROW: Nunn, Fleming, Peters, Mr. Rice, M. Hobbs, Simon, Gerecke. President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Reporter Jacqueline Peters Marilyn Hobbs Shirley Fleming Doris Nunn Tony Simon Four representatives from each class were elected at the first of the year to serve on the student council. These sixteen members met on every other Tuesday under the supervision of the president and their advisor, Mr. Rice, to discuss and plan action concerning school problems. This club attempted to find the answers to many problems facing the school. During the past year, the group made and posted in conspicuous places brightly colored posters reminding the students to watch their mann- ers, they sponsored an attendance contest which made the students attendance- conscious, and they arranged a Christmas party for the student body and the faculty. Thus, in many ways, the student council representatives may feel that they have done much toward making Meredosia High School a better School. 25
