Mr C. F. Bolt, Principal Rosemary Hill, Secretary and Clerk PRINCIPAL C. F. BOLT Any man that succeeds in his chosen vocation does so through a combination of qualities. It is not enough to have executive ability: neither is it enough to be entirely efficient in any one particular field. It requires a skillful blending of tact, kindness, and understanding, coupled with perseverance. the ability to make quick and sound decisions, and the will-power to see that such decisions are carried out. C. F. Bolt, our princi- 211, has these qualities. During the performance of his daily work, it sometimes be- comes necessary for him to reprove a student for his actions or to offer constructive criticism. The constant return of former stu- dents to our school, however, attests to the way in which Mr. Bolt conducts this phase of his work. 114..

STUDENT COUNCIL The government of our school is represented by a group of students known as the Student Council. Its members consist of the class officers of the sophomore, iunior, and senior class. who act as delegates for the student body. The Council officers are now elected from the school at large' and are not officers of any class. This more democratic plan for electing the officers was favored many years before its adoption in this school in 1940. Officers of the Student Council during 1941-42 are: President-Nancy Culver, Vice-president -Barbara Tenny, Secretary-Hazel Iuhas. Reports of the Council doings are put in the school bulletin for all students and teachers unfamiliar with its work, to read. The regular meetings of the Council are open to any students who wish to attend. Many of the Council's routine duties consist of approving dates for schools dances and assemblies. The maiority of school problems are discussed at each meeting. In 1933, at the first Student Council meeting, Mr. Bolt explained the purpose of this organ- ization as being: to provide greater opportunity for co-operation between the students and fac- ulty in promoting interest and school spirit, and to afford occasion for a greater measure of student control in school affairs. No faculty member has a seat on the Council. C. F. Bolt, principal is the adviser. - 16-
