STUDENT COUNCIL Back row (left to right)—W. R?ents, R. Geisthardt, C. Krause, E. Kaul, Mr. Heimerl. Front row—R. Geisthardt, M. Ryan, E. Burri, E. Cook, M. Millar. PRESIDENT ELTON KAUL SECRETARY ELLA MAE COOK TREASURER WM. REENTS ADVISOR.— MR. HEIMERL The student council of this year has undertaken a number of things. Perhaps the most outstanding is the Merit System. Its purpose is to encourage the students to do better work and to take part in more outside activities. Each class has a chance for the “top honors’’ of the year. Points are given to the class for scholastic achievement, conduct, and many more activities. At the end of the year the points are totaled and the class maintaining the most points receives the award. The student council was at the head of the Bingo party given last November. In regard to cheerleaders, a new ruling was set up. The student body is to vote on the cheerleaders each year. In the previous years once the cheerleaders were elected, they held their positions until graduation. However, we believe this new plan will work out better. The members cf this organization have therefore, brought about a number of changes. They are to be praised for their cooperation and accomplishments of the past year.

With the transferring of Rosemary Dejardin to Messmer High School, the Oakleaf was left without an editor. Margaret Schoepke was appointed to take over the duties and with the able assistance of Esther Burri, four editions of the Oakleaf “rolled off the mimeograph. The Art Editors, Ella Mae Cook and Carol Cragoe did splendid work. The Humor Editors, Margaret Ryan and Betty Philipsky, deserve very much praise for their excellent work on the humor page. The school paper was sent to many different parts of the country, especially to the boys in service. The boys are glad to hear about their old “aima mater. The circulation managers worked very industriously to see that the papers were sent out on schedule, and deserve much credit for their diligent efforts.
