to every-dag 6uAineAA STUDENT COUNCIL Beginning late in September, the M. C. H. S. Student Council set up its yearly cal- endar. Standing committees were estab- lished to arrange for elections, assemblies, charters, finances, building and grounds care and standards. Provisions were also made for special committees to handle un- forseen problems. The greatest single project of the coun- cil was, again, the magazine sale. Profits from the better than 317,500 sale were used to purchase a whirlpool hydro therapy machine with the balance going into funds to provide an outdoor clock and an organ for the auditorium. Other projects of the council included the sports banquets, awards for service clubs, attendance at student council con- ferences at other schools as well as the myriads of lesser projects and problems. The control of student activities, pro- motion of good student citizenship, bet- terment of student-teacher relations, and student to administration requests are the professed purposes of this, the major student service organization. Student Council officers are elected by vote of the entire student body each spring for the following school year. Coun- c1l. representatives are elected in social studies and freshman English classes at the beginning of each school year. Connie Painter, Council President, presides over a regular student council meeting. The Council's officers included: Sandy Bassett, secretary, John Broad, vice-president, Bob Gibson, treasurer, and Connie Painter, president Vi
