Only those students who have contributed something worthwhile and have worked faithfully have been assigned positions on the regular staff. The staff takes this opportunity of wishing next year's staff success in every publication of the Acanom Papoosef' We also wish to contribute some advice in the form of a poem: OUR PAPER Getting out our little paper is no picnic. If we print jokes, people say were sillyg If we dont they say were too serious. If we clip things from other newspapers, We're too lazy to write them ourselves. lf we don't, we are too fond of our own stuff. If we don't print contributions, We don't appreciate true genius. If we do print them, the paper is second ratishf' If we buy necessities, were extravagant. lf we don't, were out of date. Now. like as not, someone will say We swiped this from some other paper.

The 1937-38 Student Council of Monaca High School held its first meeting on October 12, 1937, for the purpose of organizing. The members of the council include two members from each class and each class president, also the president of every organization within the school. The council is ably assisted by Mr. Puff, and Mr. Glass, our council advisor. The Council joined the National Association of Student Offices, and from this association we receive a national magazine which has been very helpful to us. Our Council sponsored the Annual Beaver County Student Council Rally in our school in March 25, 1938. The Council sponsored and assisted in many activities during the year, namely the select- ing of the insignia for the High School rings and the sponsoring of a school talent assembly program, which was very successful and enjoyable. The aims of our Council are as follows: To create school spirit. To develop within the student a feeling of his responsibility to his school. To develop leadership among the students. To attempt to get all students to participate in school activities. 1281 THE 1958
