Its primary motive is to create a spirit of cooperation and sportsmanship among the students. With this idea in mind a sportsmanship code was adopted and later accepted by the student assembly as the P. C. H. S. Code. The Student Council sponsors various student activities. This year there were two all-school parties, one at Christmas time and one in the spring. During the year three professional talent programs were engaged for assembly programs. (Remember the Brown-Meneley Musical Duo— the cathedral chimes and saxophone?) Among other activities were intramural basketball in which both the senior boys and girls were the victors, a ping-pong and checker tournament, distribution of P. C. H. S. song sheets, contribution of two dollars to the flood relief, and a field-day. This year the Student Council joined the Illinois Association of High School Councils, and on April 10 delegates attended the state convention at Bloomington, Illinois.

C. H. S. Every Wednesday morning the staff meets and receives its assignments. Monday night is the deadline for reports and stories, and every Tuesday the week’s news scoop is found on the second page in the Paxton Record. For a new undertaking the P. C. H. S. Record has had exceptional success. It gives to the students a medium through which they can express their ideas and suggestions, and, to the rising young authors and poets, it is a means by which they are able to get their “masterpieces” before the public’s eye.
