Student Council NE of the most important organizations in Mount Vernon High School that influences the life of students more than any other is the Student Council. The purpose of the Council is to act on any reforms or programs that might affect students. The Student Council is composed of an advisory board, Student Body officers, and class rep- resentatives. Council leader was Victor Brown, presi- dent of the student body, who was assisted by vice president, Charles Bhoades, secretary, Margaret Johnson, and treasurers Bill Os- brink and Guy Hughes. The council advisers this year included Mr. Frank Sayre, principal, Mr. Lester Copner, treasurer, Miss Valdis Olson, faculty representative, and Mr. Cerald Clay, athletic director. The four classes were represented by June Murray, senior who, due to graduation at mid- year, was succeeded by Leif Bindal, Nettie Lloyd, junior, Beryl VVarrick, sophomore, and Jimmie Anderson, freshman. The outstanding work of the council this year was the selling of season tickets to the football and basketball games and the revising of the old Associated Students constitution. This revised constitution does away with 16 many cumbersome articles in the former. The council voted on all letter awards submitted by the Athletic Director, and student body officers this year, as last, conducted the awarding ceremonies. Also voted by the council were the articles to raise the qualifica- tions for the eligibility of track letters and the awarding of special insignia to various mem- bers of the band and the orchestra. The assemblies this year were handled in a different way. The Honor Society was in charge of planning the entertainment. The public speaking class was in charge of the Armistice Day assembly. They pre- sented an interesting and varied program. Each class was in charge of one assembly this year. The Junior class presented the Thanksgiving assembly. Reverend Bodding- ton was the speaker. The Christmas assembly was handled by the senior class. The sophomores were in charge of the Washington-Lincoln program and the freshmen gave the St. Patrick's Day program. The Girls' Green M gave one of the fun- niest assemblies of the year, the climax being Green M boys portraying the roles of chorus girls.

The senior girls drew freshmen girls' names out of a hat. Then the two girls were introduced to each other, and in turn the senior introduced their charges to the audience. The girls' mixer, with the theme of Gang Busters , was given late in October, followed by the freshman Mothers' tea. They were both very successful. One of the many pro- grams was given by the Burlington Girls' Club. During the year many of the girls from our school attended conferences and brought back interesting ideas. There was a Christmas program given with sticks of candy presented to all the girls in attendance. ln February, there was a program given in honor of St. Valentinels Dayg a candy heart was given to each girl.
