Since 1919 Murphy has been continually proud of its Student Cooperative Government Association. During these thirty years it has been growing and progressing to its present form. For the first time in its history the admin- istration has set aside a definite period of the school day when its eighteen members—six seniors, four juniors, three sophomores, three mid-years—officers and sponsors can hold regular meetings. In these fourth period meetings the Council has planned such projects as the new bicycle sheds, student council week, student activities; carried on all committee business; supervised sale of ice cream, its source of revenue; and planned the trip to Corpus Christi. Texas, to attend the annual convention of the Southern Association of Student Government. With members of the councils of Vigor, Ojtelika, and Pensacola. Murphy’s Governing Council chartered a bus to Corpus Christi. There, with a thousand other students from Southern schools, Murphians learned many new phases of student participation which will make their ap- pearance in future years. Conferred on Murphy through the efforts of these merry delegates was the honor of being elected secretary of the S.A.S.G. Along with this honor goes the responsi- bility of being host to the convention of 1948-1949. The Council feels that this achievement is most important, for the convention will give every student a part in its plan- ning and program, thus furthering the ideal of 100 per cent cooperation. Serving as a link between the Governing Council and the student body is the large Advisory Council of more than a hundred members. Each section has one represen- tative to this organization, who attends meetings with sug- gestions from the section and reports to the section matters of importance transacted by the Council. tubcvif- OtiVic ;l
