SHARING IN GOVERNMENT An organization whose deeds and actions gain little glory throughout the school but which is ina dispensable because of the services it renders to the school, is the Student Council. The Student Council is composed of one rep- resentative from each home room and organiza- tion, the presidents of each class, the heads of the publications, and an athletic representative. The purpose of the Council is to establish a direct contact between the faculty and the student body. Besides discussing the school's problems First Row: D. Needham, S, Pierr, C.

Each year two assembly programs, those of Armistice and Memorial Day, are planned and carried out by this group.

The Student Council with the cooperation of the Etiquette Club sponsored Courtesy Week from March 13 to 17. The program of the week was planned by Ray Creager, chairman. On Monday and Tuesday student speakers talked on different points of courtesy over the speaker system. Wed- nesday a program was given in the auditorium showing courteous and discourteous acts. Thurs- day and Friday student speakers again gave talks and on the latter day a test on courtesy was given in the home rooms. The graduating grade school boys and girls spent one morning in the first week of Mayfvisiting our teepee for the purpose of becoming acquainted with our winding halls, class rooms, and activities. This was arranged and handled by the Student Council. The officers for the past year were: Clark Water- fall, president, Charles Thomas, vice - president, Isobel Fraser, secretary. Advisers for the organiza' tions are lVlr. Milton H. Northrop and Miss Vic- toria Gross. One of the most recent duties the Council has taken upon itself is that of welcoming new students to North Side. Charles Thomas is in charge of the committee which consists of two members from each class. The officers and a few active underclassman members of the Student Council attended the Tn- diana High School Student Council Association meeting at South Bend, Indiana, on May 6. Miss Gross accompanied the group. Student Council groups representing schools from all sections of the state discussed student government. This was the second meeting of the association and the first which North Siders have attended.

THEY WORK THEIR WAY Have you ever gone to a basketball game with- out your chewing gum? Amazing that we should have had the same experience! In our freshman year it happened that when we reached in our pocket, that horn of plenty was empty as a black pocket can be. Consternation was upon us. I-low could we sit through thirty-two tense minutes and still avoid the possibility of a complete nervous breakdown? It was a horrible thought. and we began to shiver with apprehension, when sud- denly towards our seat came angels of mercy on their mission of relief. The Booster Monastery had sent its St. Bernards into the mountains to save me from terrible agony. Hallelujah! the Boosters had driven through. Well, itis things like that that endear the Boosters forever in our hearts. How can we for- get their unselhsh actions when they are con- stantly reminding us of them? As if it were not enough that they should send their St. Bernards to our rescue with chewing gum. candy, and ice cream in their kits, the doors of the home mission are ever open, welcoming us. ministering to our parched throats with cooling draughts of Coca Cola, crossing our palates with all manner of sugared delicacies, filling us with hot buttered p o p c o r n when we've come to the game without eating, and even fixing hot dogs for us at those chilling foot- ball games. Truly won- derful people! But we have been con- sidering them only from the standpoint of what they do for our stomachs and our nerves. Natural as it may be to do this, we would be ingrates if we neglected to mention some of the other activities which this loyal North Side club engages in. They beautify the scenes of all our games by hang- ing red and white stream- ers from the rafters, plan pep sessions and supply those handsome red suits for our cheerleaders. By RICHARD BRUICK 4For three years these three have boosted the spirits ot North Side, Eugene Hartman, Robert johnson, and Wlilliam Swager. Under the guidance of their advisers. Nliss Oral Furst. Miss Katharine Rothenberger. Miss Judith Bowen. and Miss Hazel Plummer, the Boosters have risen to a place of importance in service. First Row: Nl. Vroman, I., Schwartz. E.
