THE 1945 PEP PAGE FIFTEEN ACTI ITIES STUDENT COUNCIL, 1944-1945 Under the guidance of Mr. Albert Brown the Student Council has accomplished more this year than has ever been accomplished for a number of years. The council consisted of eleven members of whom the officers were: President, Richard Sedgeleyg Vice-President, Lee Burns, Secretary, Catherine Myles, other members were Clarita Angeles, John Swett, Alfreda Smith, Lloyd Dickson, Edda Hayden, and Harold Carver Cwho were replaced by Dor- othy Brown and William Doucetteb, Harry Myles, and Gerald Burns. Every Thursday and Friday, activity periods were especially devoted to the sale of war saving stamps and bonds which have amounted to approximately 86,500.00 for the entire year. The Council secured special Minute Man Flags for each home room in which ninety per cent ofthe pupils purchased stamps or bonds. A spatial Bond Rally was held February 15th sponsored by the Council to boost the sale of stamps. Amateur talent of M. H. S. was secured for entertainment. The rally proved to be suc- cessful, and it was really surprising to learn of all the talent that had been modestly hidden in school. For fun and frolic the Council sponsored record dances Friday nights which were very popular. Many new records were bought and quite a collection will be left for next year's dances. A considerable amount of money was taken in Lnis way which added to the treasury of the assemblywyvent towards obtaining the loud speakers for each room in the building. This wa-scanothcr and perhaps the best project the wuncil, had this year through the aid of Mr, Thomas. A.. special attraction for the Council mem- bers' this year was our yearly trip to Augusta for the Maine State Convention of Student Councils held at Cony High School. Six mem- bers attended. They were Clarita Angeles, Buda Hagfden, Catherine Myles, Richard Sedge- ley, Join. Swett, and Harold Carver. In the morning they attended the meeting at Cony Qi STUDENT COUNCIL 3rd row: Dickson, Carver, Myles, Swett, Mr. Brown 2nd row: Burns, Angeles, Hayden, Smith. lst row: Sedgeley, Myles, Burns. High School which concerned the activities and the projects of other councils in the State of Maine. The main speaker at the convention was ex-Governor Sumner Sewall. Later the council went to the Blaine Mansion for a buffet luncheon, attended the Cony and Gardiner foot- ball game featured that afternoon, and had din- ner at the Augusta House that evening. The six members were accompanied by Mr. Brown, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Cobb. The famous Pintexico Fair was revived again this year by the council. This fair proved to be one of the most successful fairs ever held at M. H. S. On Thursday evening our annual school play was presented by Miss Bragoli and Miss Rollins. The play was Act Your Age. Friday evening we held our Fair Dance with Kenny Goodwin and his orchestra. Every booth showed possibilities of great Architects to be. Council members really ate their wheaties and went to town in the month of November when they gathered their energy together and mimeographed 372 copies of the Constitution of M. H. S. for every student in school. Every student now has a copy and should know the laws and by-laws of the student government in which they participate. This year, National Association of Student Council pins were purchased for each council member. Trophy cups for our cabinet in the hall have all been collected by various council members and have been sent in to have the names engraved up to date on them. They also have been polished and will be ready for graduation. For special assemblies this year, the Council informed each class to sponsor an assembly on a given date. Four royal attractions were obtained for extra assemblies. This consisted of Pitt Parker, a crayon wizardg William Wallis, a memory genius, William Hacker, a protege of Jose Iturbig and Mr. Letmer with his trained dog. The Council has really worked hard and all members have enjoyed being on the Council of the famous Orange and Black school.
