SCI-IOUL COUNCIL FQflT'T ROW: Paul Metcalf, Robert Seybert, vice-president, Ardis Mathieu, president, Vincent Roberts, secretary, Norene Smedlund. BACK ROY.: Mr. Stout, Carl Buck, Jean cchoc-5 nv7a7l'd, -Robert Gray, Eileen Jarvis, Mr. Liljedahl, Leonard Tomaski, Viola Osborn, Donald Johnson The School Council of M. C. H. S. is a.n organization composed of the superintendent representing the board of education, a representa- tive of the faculty, and a student representative fusually the presi- dentj of each organization within the school. The Council meets weekly and serves as a mediator and clearing house for problems confronting the school. Its aim is to bring the students, teachers, and principal into closer understanding and cooperation. In the course of duties and responsibilities which fall upon it there is that of helping determine school policies. The council mem- bers as representatives of all phases of school life earnestly try to decide the best policies for the school to follow. But their task is not only one of maldng policies but also of securing the cooperation of the student-body in carrying out these policies. In the event that a proposed action would affect the entire school routine, as in the oase of Senior Control Day which was tried for the first time this year, the matter is voted upon by the students, faculty, and board of education. The council has been in operation for two years with Ardis Mathieu as its president and Mr. Liljedahl as faculty' representative. Delegates to the State Convention of School Councils held at New Trier High School included Viola Osborn, Anthony Prairie, Donald Johnson, and Robert Seybert who also presided over one of the panel discussions. Delegates to the District Convention held at Gilman included Ardis Mathieu and Eleanor Mcllurrough as well as Eileen Jarvis and Viola Osborn who were speakers at the meeting. Eileen Jarvis was vice-presi- dent of the District during 1957-1958, and Eleanor Mchiurrough was elected secretary for the coming year. The -next District meeting will be held at M. C. H. S. These meetings provide an opportunity for councils to find out what other schools are doing and exchange ideas concerning school government. The School Council has become an important part of school life not only because of its influence in school activities but because of the valuable experience it gives students in representative govern- ment. 20
