Its threefold purposes were, and still are, to study, discuss, and act upon current student problems, to pro- mote better relations between students and faculty, and to encourage the development of good citizenship traits by giving studentsexperience in democratic organization. At first, the Council was comprised of representatives from each ad- visor room who selected twelve from their number to act as an executive board. Officers Were originally elected by the outgoing seniors, but in 1935 this system was changed to the present one- The representative system was also revised in 1940 to include only eight members from each class. The first job was the institution of a 53.00 activities ticket which would admit students to most of the school functions. By 1938, 1800 students owned these annually-issued tickets, and the number now in- cludes 95'k of the student body. Also among Council's first brain children was the Student Super- vised Study Hall System, originally planned only to include boys. ln 1938 girls were admitted, and the entrance requirements became more difHcult. Honor Study Hall membership is now at its peak. College Day was founded in 1938, when about 80 colleges were rep- resented. This number is now larger than ever. The annual College Day figures prominently in helping students to decide on prospective coHeges.

Johnson, Voorheis, Howard, Williams When considered necessary or valuable, different tem- porary departments have been added to Council. Among these were the Building and Grounds Committee, which functioned when Council was new, and aided such proj- ects as landscaping the inner court: and the Defense Com- mittee, which during World War Il sold war stamps and bonds to all of New Trier, and in 1945 earned money to finance a B-29. Total sales from these wartime activities were several million dollars! The war also presented a serious labor shortage which affected our lunch hall. Council stepped in, however, and took over the supervision ofthe haH. To list all the things that Council has done for New Trier would fill a whole book. Among its accomplishments are starting our popular Halloween Parties and Gym Iams, recently made even more enjoyable due to the some 400 pairs of roller skates obtained by Council for public recreational purposes. It has also contributed many inter- esnng and educadonalassmmbhesto ourschoolprogranr done important lobbying for the auto driving course started in 1947, and the Science IV course started in 1948, I - GENERAL STUDY HALL SUPERVISORS Slrodel, Klapperich, Goodkind Page 27
