Some of the activities sponsored by this organization this year were the Red Cross Drive, Alumni auditorium program, noon-hour program, dancing classes, capehart dance, American Legion awards the Annual Student Council Dance, and the Intramural basketball tournament. The annual dance, the capehart dance, and the finals of the Intramural basketball tournament were all successful, both socially and financially. The biggest and most Important project was the handbook which we expect to have printed before the opening of school in September. The monthly citizenship contest was Innovated by the Student Council for the purpose of promoting better citizenship. The Student Council was also largely responsible for establishing a capehart program during the noon hour. At this time students now enjoy both dancing and listening to fine records. Thus the 'Z9-'40 Student Council can rest assured that It has done its share toward the advancement of Newington High School.

A series of movies, including Abraham Lincoln, Timber War, and selected short subjects, was presented throughout the year.

The Council , made up of five boys and five girls from the high school grades, is under the guidance of two faculty members. Blue crew hats, bearing the gold initials of the Newington Athletic Council, have been adopted as a symbol of membership in the organization.
