We do it at Meyers by changing the people each year, and make no money. But we do better. We make a picture of the Senior Council all posing quietly, and dressed up, and leave it to your own imagination to guess how they look when they are decorating for a Prom or practicing for Class Night or holding a regular meeting about class business. How they can talk and debate and settle things! We have watched with admiration and pay tribute to the tre- mendous job they have done for the class.
