STUDENT COUNCIL Democracy In AmericaJ Democracy In our schools 1 This has been the cry of the Student Body, and this year as never before our Student Council has been a living organization vitally interested in tho pro- blems of school life. In addition to the regular honday meetings of the Council with Ur. Sharpe, Advisor, we have had several meetings of the entire high School. At these meetings, presided over by the President Richard Shepherd, no teacher v;as resent and the student body was given the right to express their opinions on any problem pertaining to school life. The eight Student Council members were injected with a shot of enthusiasm and ideas vben they and Mr. Sharpe attended the Third Annual District Student Council Convention at Dclevan, Illinois on Novemba? 10. The Council has sponsored several assemblies during the year. On March 31 and April 1, three members attended a convention at Peoria, Illinois.

For the clothing work, the girls were pro- vided with four new sowing machines, a triple mirror, a built-in ironing board, a garment clo- 3f,t, three large sewing tables, and a drawer each for storing their material. The foods section was equipped for three family groups, each family having a stove, sink, and work table. This plan allows tho class to learn to cook on a meal basis such as they can use at home, rather than cooking in small indiv- idual servings. The room also has a place for a family dining and homemaking unit to bo added in the future. Both courses were composite. including several phases of home making, rather than the old cools- ' ing and sewing classes. u 'S V| if M sides food preparation and olothine construction the girls had an opportunity to study dietetics, hone architecture and interior decoration, hone management, family relationships, core of the sick, etiquette, entertainlng in the hone, and consumer education in all phases of lior.ienaklng• In addition to the regular class work the girls served two dinners for the school board, a tea for the parents at the Agriculture and Hone- Ec project meeting, the annual Christmas dinner party, the F.F.A. Father and Son Banquet, the refreshments for the open house, and a luncheon for the Macomb Glee Club. Home work consisted chiefly of tloreo hone projects for each girl. These projects gave the students an opportunity to apply tho knowledge and skill gained in class work on actual pro- blems as they arise in the hone. The classwork and tho now equipment mr.de it possible for the department to bo approved by the state for teaching Sni th-IIughes Vocational Home Economics, and so secure gov- ernment aid. no LIAR 3 TO oouG hnu t s Junior Class---------------November 10 Tho Bolands, a rich family pretend to bo poor in orucr to please one of their daughters, Caroline, whoso bo -friend, Goorge Hobbes, has a prejudice against the r 1 en. ihis is fu in enough in itself, but no sooner hue the fun started then tho other daughter, Hortense, un- expectedly arrives with her boy-fracnd, Pranc - Seri Danilov of 3uropo, d Tending that the family maintain ..n extravagant style, to im- press the prince� The parsn-s, anxious to please the daughters impartially try playing two mumes _.t once, with disastrously ridiculous results.

His socially prominent family consider him slightly unbalanced , which he certainly is not. He tries to limit his ambition to oaoy-chairs, good food and homely philo30py, but there arc conflicting forces with in and around him. Soon he is beset by wealthy women with too much time on their hands' , who try to force their hobbies upon his restful day3. He runs away from an antiquo collector, Mrs. Wood, ohly to bump into her daughter, Phoo.e Weed, with some variety of freo verso, and evades hi3 brothor Goorgo Woodhouso, with a bag of golf clubs only to fall into tho hands of an amateur psychiatrist, Mrs. Woodhousc. But much v orsc than any of these obstacles to his peace of mind is a eretty house maid, Josie, with a practical mind end gonuinc love for tho easy-going Button. Their cloncmcnt at the end, from his stuffod-shirt environment into hor world of 3 o?_f-respecting workers is a scene of delightful romance, and Button’3 parting shots at the Woodhouso family brought the curtain down on a hilarious bit of 3atire.

First I went to Chicago so no to catch an airplane to Texas. I was traveling fron Chicago to a city in Texas. As I boardod the airplane I noticoda familiar face. Ho was sitting in the co-pilot seat. I continued to wonder who it v aa when I thought of Billy Anderson. He had grown to be a tall curly haired handsono-looking boy. I asked the stewardess if it would be possible to speak to him. I soon was talking to 3illy a- bout his work. He asked r.ic if I knew that Laure tto Hen- derson had gotten married to the boy who stayed at her house- in tho winter of 39. His nano was .J£.£k Tren jp. The trip passed quickly. We 30on arrived at tho airport. I put ny baggago in the stat- ion and called a taxi cab, since I had to bo back in Chicago in tlirec days. I went directly to an information bureau to find information on a ranch which had cattle to sell. Ho told no tho exact location. As I arrived at the ranch, a familiar looking man approached. IIo had a brown colored skin, and wore a wide brimmed cow puncher's hat. I said, Y,liero is tho proprietor of this ranch? He said, I ssn he. Ju3t then I happonod to remember that he was in our class at school. Ho replied saying, Yes, and aren't you Flora Ann Bowman? I said Yes, and after a little whilo we started to talk business, that is about buying of cattle. V c soon reached an ag- reement about prices.
