Student Council THE student council is the group of students that represent the entire student body and take care of all the necessary and routine business connected with the school affairs. Feeling a more representative group would be obtained, the classes have elected the council members in their respective class meetings the past few years. The student body president presides at the meetings, and the ASB. secretary is the official minute-taker . All other student body officers are considered ex- officio members enjoying all the privileges of active members except the right to vote. Their definite knowledge of the school activity they are connected with is often very valuable. The leaving of a workable constitution for future school governments, as the 1936 group did, was one of the outstanding contributions that any council has made the past few years. The eleven council members are themselves appreciative of the important preliminary work done by the Civics club. By the vote of the council for the first time four girls played as a regular school tennis team. An amendment to the constitution that was voted on before the entire docu- ment was accepted was the change made in regard to wrestling. It was changed to a major, consequently receiving a larger apportionment of student body funds, while the wrestlers will receive a major letter. This amendment caused much ex- citement and enthusiastic debate. The council voted to send representatives to two events. Bill Thomas travelled to the high school extemporaneous speaking contest at Whitman College, and for the first time two Salem boys will go to the National Hi-Y convention this summer. George Smith, president, and Ronald Adams will go to Berea, Kentucky on june 14. ii i: ff . WISE?

Student Body Ofheers DoRo'1'HY liiisisri Vice Prexiilenf gs. SKY f' --: will Twill 'l ' JACK Oc:1.Esi-xv 4 ll: . Sergeanl-al-arms ELEANOR SWIF r Secreiary f CECIL QLJESSETH President CECIL Quesseth was elected president of the student body to complete the term begun by Marion Draper who resigned the first part of the year. Cecil had the confidence and cooperation of the entire student body and conduct at assem- blies and order in council meetings were noticeably improved. ln the presidents absence, Dorothy Kibbe showed much poise as presiding officer, besides carrying out novel ideas about the decoration of the gym for the A.S.B. dances, being ably assisted by committees of her own choosing. lt was the husky left tackle of the football team, jack Oglesby, who maintained order at the assemblies, which incidentally were exceptionally interesting this year. A notable fact about jack was the unusual interest shown by a sergeant-at-arms in the student council meetings. I-le was present at almost all the meetings and en- tered into discussions where his athletic knowledge would be valuable. Secretary Eleanor Swift effectively carried out her designated duties, besides handling extra affiliated business in a gracious manner. In this year's Song and Yell contest under the direction of David Thompson, forensic manager, a new system of judging the contest was instigated. The classes were placed as the winner of the entire contest as well as the winners of the indi- vidual song and yell divisions. Although misunderstood at first, it proved a workable plan. One disappointing feature of the present administration was the disinterested attitude taken by some students toward the proposed constitution, the passage of which was the one aim of Marion Draper during his term of ofhce. The new con- stitution was formed so that the present student body and future students might enjoy the advantages of closer cooperation and organization. After the Civics club members devoted their efforts both in open forum and committee meetings to revising the constitution, it was passed into the hands of the student council for final revision. From the first of December until the middle of April the issue was set aside for other matters until enthusiasm declined and the subject became practically a dead issue. lt was hnally approved as a whole on April l7th. l4
