Student Council The Student Council is the governing body of the school. They are the ones that make the laws, see that they are obeyed and, in general, start things rolling. There were not so many trials this year as there have been previously, so the Student Council busied themselves with other activities. They had full charge of Student Day, held October 31, sponsored movies and dancing at noon, collected all the school ' s scrap paper for defense, and supervised Detention Hall. The Student Council was also responsible for the election of the queen and her court who reigned over the Recognition Banquet, and the choice of boys to be sent to Boy ' s State. The members for this year were: Faculty adviser. Mr. Cheney: President, lack Symes: Secretary, Dorothy Ladley; Clerk of Courts, Barbara Firestone; Representatives: Betty Feller, Lois Seifert, Pauline Gottshall, Ruth Ladley, Frank Cirons, Mary Geib, Elson Sommers. Student Court Under Judge George Oberlin ' s ruling gavel the court this year held seven trials ranging from charges against playing with Yo-Yos to disturbance in study hall. Trials were held during noon and other free periods, and con- sisted of the regular court plus the witnesses and jury. Verdicts were render- ed by the jury; the court decided the penalties which included refusal of the pass card, no free noon hours for a week, the cleaning out of desks in home rooms, and severe lectures by the Honorable Judge Oberlin.
