The student body was taught how to register, make nominations and hold elections, and how to choose officers. In the late spring of the l959 term, the students elected the officers and representatives of the first student council. This council really never functioned, but the next year student government began in earnest. ' During the 1940 term, the council organized ,a student bank, a place in which students could conveniently save smaD. sums of money for their graduation expenses. For the past several years the Student Council h a s successfully sponsored the annual homecoming ceremonies. The Student Council today is composed of twenty-three members. The president, vice president, and secretary are elected by the student body. Each class is allowed two representatives, the president and one ethcrg each group, such as the band, Student Prints staff, or a club is allowed one. Meetings, formerly held each Monday during the home room period, are new held after school. The minutes of the meeting are published in each issue of the Studcntr Prints. A student must voice the opinions of the group he represents on any question that may arise end then report to the class, group, or club on Student Council proceedings: If a student hasta suggeetifn te make or d question to ask, lhe 'is urged either to tell his representative or come to the meetings and speak to the Council. Officers and representatives for this year are as follows! Dewey Boudreaux Pygsigent M3569 KOHHY Vice-President Janice Loeb Secretary
