A MESSAGE FROM OUR EDITOR It has been my privilege and my pleasure to work with Miss Hill and the staff this past year on the production of our annual. Like any constructive work, we, too, have had our difficulties and obstructions to overcome. How well we overcame these obstacles is shown in this book. You are the judges. To you belongs the right to criticize and censor. We lay no claims to genius, but we do have the satisfaction of knowing that we have worked steadily and faithfully. If honest effort counts for anything, our annual will not fail in its desired effect. The aim of the staff is to present you with a book that will hold for you the memories of ’43. Twenty-Five

It has the task of making rules and regulations to help in the betterment of the school. Its member- ship is made up of the president’s of all the classes and organizations. Its president is elected from the members of the Senior Class, and its other officers are elected from and by its members. The officers this year were: President, Donald Clark; Vice-President, Gordon White; Secretary, Lillian Brewer; Treasurer, Betty Welches. The Student Council has accomplished much this year. Among these ac- complishments was the sponsoring of five cent movies every week during activity period. The money taken in from these movies has gone toward buying a phono- graph for the school. The Council has sponsored a War Bond and Stamp Sale. This sale was in the form of a contest between the boys and the girls. Every Tuesday the girls sold bonds and stamps and on Thursday the boys made use of their salesmanship ability. The girls came out victorious and were thus subject to a treat by the boys. The sale was a great success and hundreds of dollars were made for Uncle Sam. The Student Council also gave a party for the benefit of the faculty and gave a picnic at the end of the term for the student body. Twenty-Six
