ORGANIZATIONS . . . P. C. H. S. offers many opportunities for the student who wishes to take part in extra-curricular activities such as glee club, band, or literary work. It is not necessary to have been in one of these activities to be graduated, but participating in them gives a student pleasure and also adds to his general fund of knowledge. Also for the juniors and seniors there is the opportunity to take part in the class plays. There are two members of each class chosen to represent the class in the Student Council, and boys interested in agriculture have a chance to join the Future Farmers of America. ♦ ♦ ♦

The length of last year’s season prevented a complete account of it to be put in the annual. For that reason a brief resume of the 1935 season follows: The track squad won three meets, placed second in the triangular meet with Saybrook and Gibson, and fourth in the Wauseca Track Meet. In the district meet at Monticello, Jones placed fourth in the broad jump event. This year many of last season’s lettermen are back. Those who received letters last season and who have places on the squad this year are Whitman, L. Carlson, Cornelison, Swanson, Lundy, Barr, Henry, L. Mag-nuson and Lee. The season thus far has been quite successful and if the good work continues for the rest of the season, we can anticipate the breaking of last year’s records. THE SQUAI) Distance men—L. Carlson, Sederlund. F. Marshall, Ryan, Griswold, Cornelison, Whitman, Lee. Dash men—Whitman, Lee, L. Carlson. Weight men—Barr, Lee, Henry, Mag-nuson. High jump—J. Swanson, Lundy.

STUDENT COUNCIL President Harold Harr Vice-President Virginia Froyd Secretary-Treasurer Marvin Swanson Senior Representatives: VIRGINIA HESS GAIL HEDRICK Junior Representatives: MARTHA APLAND NOREL SKONBERG Sophomore Representatives: VIRGINIA STREMME JAMES MAGNUSON Freshman Representatives: HETTY RYAN JOSEPH ASHLEY ♦ The Student Council is an organization which helps govern the student body as a whole. Two members are selected to represent each class, and officers are elected from the members of the junior and senior classes. This year the Student Council has sponsored programs given by the Brooks Trio, an acrobatic team; Edward Reno, a magician; and James Dyer, an Armenian. An all-school party was given in March by the Student Council. Class basketball was organized by them, also, each class having a girls’ team and a boys’ team. Before the sectional tournament, the Student Council held a “pep” program in which several townspeople appeared and gave short talks. Miss Marjorie Strong is their adviser.
