Student Leaders Student participation in a governing body known as the Student Council is responf sible for the promotion of genuine harmony between students and faculty, and for up' holding the well established position of North Side in the community. A truly democratic body elected by students on a democratic basis is bound to prof mote good will and a friendly student relationship. The Council is composed of one representative from each homeroom, one from each club, and all class presidents. It encourages and develops leadership, and is everfready to accept constructive sugf gestions from all represented groups. George Dutter, president for the 194950 term, was the able helmsman steering this group in its activities. Chuck Ellenwood and Lois Cooper gave him their assistance as vicefpresident and secretary, respectively. Dean Victoria Gross and Principal M. H. Northrop rendered their aid by serving as advisers. The familiar BackfTofSchoolfNight, sponsored by the Council, encourages the par' ents to visit the classrooms and relive their high school days.

The discreet, superior senior reaches the climax of four prosperous years and plunges into his work and play with final effort.
