The members tind the buttons convenient and attractive. Student Service members consider this a worthy organization to belong to. and each member is proud ot' his blue and gold button which shows that he belongs to Student Se1'vice. Une credit is given each year forthe service rendered by every boy. The aim ol' the Student Service is to bring about order in the halls through the coop- eration ot' the entire student body. Twenty-eight members were enrolled in Student Service for the year 10330-10. The group is now sponsored by Linus lleaver, manual arts instructor.

Executive Board The Executive Board of the Student Coun- cil consists of the elected officers and the two party leaders of the council. The fol- lowing are the eight members: Lorraine Lammers, Lillias Jensen, Barbara McKown, Dorothy Dixon, John Brandon, Delores Bellamy, Elmo Thompson, and Bob Ford. This group meets with Leslie W. Nelson. Formerly this group did not meet regu- larly but they did meet every two weeks this year. The board members discuss and study student problems before they are presented to the Student Council. All com- mittees were appointed by 'the Executive Board. They have concluded that to point out both sides of an issue one must con- duct research on it. This work was carried on by the committees. .Jfallancfg ' STUDENT COUNCIL STUDENT SERVICE ACT. ASSEMBLY ACTIVITIES BOARD Left: Discussing the publication of a student hand- book and student supervised study halls is the Stu- dent Council Executive Board. One of the problems considered by the Student Council was whether or not they should draft a constitution. After some study was made, they decided that because the council changes each year and the con- stitution would not remain the same it would not be necessary to draw up a con- stitution. They brought about student supervised study halls. An investigation concerning the 8 115 system was carried on and it was agreed that it should remain the same. The members contribute what ever time is needed. Left: Displaying exceptional dancing ability, Geor- ginia Toole entertains at the first school dance.
