STUDENT COUNCIL President-:RUSSELL ERB Vice-President-ERNEST BROWN Secretary-HELEN RIDGWAY Treasurer-ROBERT MORRIS V Sergeant-at-Arms-THOMAS BRITTON Sponsor-Miss REED The Student Council of Peru High School was organized in1924. It consists of fifteen members: the president of the student body, the presi- dents of the four classes, four Seniors, three Juniors, two Sophomores, and one Freshman, elected by their respective classes. The purpose of the council is to create good will, promote good citizen- ship, give students training in student government, and to make Peru High School a better school. Since it is not a social organization it has very few social activities, but it meets weekly to discuss matters pertaining to the school. The council appoints the monitors who serve in the halls during thc periods and during intermission. It supports school projects and each year sponsors one such as: getting new score boards, naming the athletic field. publishing the students' handbook, fixing rest rooms for the tourna- ments and awarding the scholarship cup at the end of each six weeks' period. Although it is a small organization and works quietly, it works to boost the activities in Peru High School. Page Nineteen

SECONDARY COUNCIL FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER President-Ernest Brown President-Arthur Gothard Vice-President-Ralph Weger Vice-President-Helen Ridgway Secretary-Treasurer-Raymond McMinn Secretary-Treasurer-Helen Ditzler Sponsor-Miss Wood As our school grew, the need for an organization to supplement the Student Council was realized. This need was met in the year 1927 by the organization of what is now known as the Secondary Council. At the beginning of each semester, each Home Room ffirst period classj elects officers. The presidents of all the rooms constitute the Sec- ondary Council and meet once a week to discuss their problems, plan for future service, and to carry back to their home rooms information about school activities. This council has proved to be a great asset to P. H. S. for it is through this organization that the attendance and scholarship contests are carried on. Banners are given as awards for attendance and a silver cup as a re- ward for scholarship. In order to give the students much needed drill in spelling, the council sponsors a spelling match during the second semester. The winner of this contest is awarded a prize. The Secondary Council works hand in hand with the Student Council. In this way the Student Council can more easily present projects to the student body. Page Twenty
