Our tudent Governing Body Because of the War, the Student Council has been given added responsi- bility. The presidential election Was held in a democratic manner. Two out- standing leaders were candidates and both campaigns were excellent. The climax of the campaign Was an auditorium in Which the candidates and their managers gave speeches and outlined their platforms. Our president, Bob Keyes, left in the middle of the year for Wabash College Where he is par- ticipating in the Navy's V-l program. Lila Mull then became our third girl student body president and Eileen Bessignano was elected vice-president. The first undertaking of the council was building a War stamp booth and striving to reach a sales goal of S5,0UU. Iunior High School challenged the high school to a War stamp contest Which ended in April. The Peru Lions Club awarded the winner with a plaque. A book drive for our local USO was sponsored by the council. An open dance was given to raise additional money for books and also to reward the students for their efforts. Perhaps the most outstanding project this year was the introduction of a Victory Corps into high school. The purpose of the Victory Corps is to prepare students for useful service in the armed forces and on the home front. lt is divided into six groups: the general membership, air service, land service, sea service, production, and community service divisions.
