Our Student Council fConcluded7 The organization committee undertook the task of furnishing an application blank to any group desiring to organize a club in Newark High School. After the application blank was properly filled out and returned to them, this committee care- fully investigated the club as to purpose, need, objectives, program and sponsor. If found satisfactory, they recommended the club to the Student Council and upon receiving the approval of that body a Charter was issued to the group. Twenty clubs have been granted charters this year. The committee is working on a ques- tionnaire to be given each club member in an endeavor to evaluate the club pro- gram this year and will use the information gained as a basis for re-chartering any club for another year. Much of the credit for our many interesting and worth while clubs must go to this committee for the careful way they went about deter- mining just What clubs should be chartered. As a result we have no club except where there was a strong desire for it within the student body. One of the busiest committees this year has been the Assembly Committee. Its task has been to build from the talent within the school, and select from talent outside, programs that will hold the interest of so heterogeneous a group as our student body. They have ever held in mind the ideal of a program, which, when the year is ended, will be well balanced. They have kept in mind the interests of various groups within the school such as the college, commercial and industrial. They have attempted to have programs that cultivated school spirit, provided entertainment, gave moral training, developed appreciation, motivated extracurricular activities, and made possible the development of poise and self-control before an audience to a small number, at least, of the student body, They are now working on an assem- bly program rating scale by means of which they hope to have the students give their opinions as to how successful they have been this year. With this informa- tion it is hoped to build an even more interesting and worth while program next year. Realizing that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy the Social Com- mittee has stepped forward with a program designed to make high school more interesting, more pleasant, and in doing so, develop the pupil socially. Because of lack of experience in this field the committee has had to rely almost entirely upon other groups to initiate and execute the program. Under the very capable leader- ship of the Hi-Y Club two all-school dances were held: One in the fall and another in the spring. In addition to these two, the Sophomore class held a dance for its members and later the Juniors and Seniors will hold one. One must add to these the many parties and dances given by the various clubs and home rooms for their respective members. Realizing that social dancing, properly supervised, has become an accepted part of our present day recreation, and realizing that a large number of students are embarrassed at a dance because they never have had an opportunity to learn how to dance, the Student Council asked members of the High School P. T. A. if they would not provide for this very real need. The challenge was immediately ac- cepted by the P, T. A. and through the generosity of the Y. M. C. A. a room where lessons might be given was secured. The W. P. A. graciously provided teachers and within the short space of two weeks after the suggestion was made, the an- nouncement was made that all students who secured the consent of their parents might enroll for the classes. The response was immediate-over one hundred stu- dents asked for the privilege of being assigned to classes. As a result of this de- mand classes have been meeting at the Y each Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at 4:15 p. m. for one hour throughout the year. Over one hundred students have been made feel that they no longer need stand on the outside and look on. I know that these students are grateful to all who helped make the opportunity available to them. It was one of the finest projects that I have ever seen, and I say that only after observing many times the eagerness and the intense seriousness with which those in the classes showed their desire to become socially acceptable. If space permitted I should like to continue in this manner to relate some of the experiences being gained by many other committees of our Council. Since it does not, I wish to express my gratitude to Mr. C. P. Smith and Miss Rosa Pugh, faculty advisers to the Councilg to all other members of the faculty who, in one way or another, have given so unstintingly of their timeg to the very capable officers and members of the Council who have taken tasks and suggestions so cheerfully: and finally, to a most loyal student body without whose cooperation everything would fail. I feel that the philosophy and psychology upon which our Council is based are sound. I also am convinced that if democracy is to be preserved our youth must not only read of it-they must live it.
