To create a spirit of democratic government of Otego Central School, the student council was the school years 1937 and 1938 at the suggestion among the students organized in of Mr. G. C. Franklin, then principal of the school. That first year was entirely devoted to construct-N ing the constitution for the approval of X the student body. When this task was completed, we took a small part W in the publishing of the X first student hand- X X book. Toward X X the close X i of X X x X x Adviser Miss Trimmingham that year the coun- cil were guests of the student associa- tion at Norris. During the next year, new oofficers were elected accord- ing to the rules of the constitution. ?roblems' such as locker inspection, supervision on buses at basketball games and regulation of standard dance pri- ces were assumed by the council. At the close of the year, the members visited a meeting of the Cn- eonta State Normal School Student Coun- cil. It was not un- til the fall of 1939 that possibilities of publishing a yearbook were considered seriously. In former years, similar suggestions had been made but the financing of the project was considered too great. However, this year the students decided this problem could be overcome. The last and per- haps greatest accomplishment was the completion of the award system which was Hccepted DY the student body. Through these two projects, the publication of a yearbook and the com- pletion of the award system, the council feels it has gained a great amount of cooperation among the students.
