CHARLES ROLAND KELLEY. president of the sophomore class, was elected to the presidency of the Student Council in the spring of 1946 to serve this year. In July Charles died of poliomyelitis. His position on the Student Council was filled by 'Vice-President John Hill, but the spot left vacant by Charles can never be filled. Charles Kelley was active in vocal and instrumental music, ath- letics, class activities and religious work. It may truly be said. He looked for the best in others and always gave them his best. . 5. Democracy is not only taught in O.H.S. but it is prac- ticed through the medium of the Student Council. Since its founding in the fall of 1942, the council has sponsored many projects and has brought many outstanding entertainers tc Ottawa, The programs are both varied and interesting. Through the efforts of President John Hill and other mem- bers of the council, the scope of influence of the Student Council has been greatly enlarged. One of the major projects of this year was the sponsorship of a memorial for the late Ralph E. Gowans, principal of O.H.S. for many years. The offices of president. vice-president. secretary and treasurer for the coming year are filled by election each spring. Other members are chosen from the sophomore, jun- ior and senior classes in an election each fall. Members-ab large are chosen from the major school organizations. The Student Council has come a long way since its founding and we are sure that in the future it will continue to promote activities in O.H.S. THE STUDENT COUNCIL HOLDS A MEETING to discuss a memorial for R. E. Gowans. Standing: Betty Silvius, Bill Bishop, Charles Waymire, Norma Ralph. Seated: Don Waymire, Virginia Lewis, Sidney Morris, Bill Brooks, treasurer: John Hill, president: Marilyn Brown- ing, secretary: Paul Elben, Veda Mae Dunkin, Patti Harris.
