Our 1946-47 Leaders . -4 Q T537 i A N 3 5-, We Value Education In Good Government TO AVVAKEN an interest in our student government program was the aim of the Student Council, organ- ized this year by the Board of Control and faculty advisers. Under the new participation plan, an executive committee composed of five student officers, president, vice president, Girls' League and Boys' Federation presidents, and a council secretary, met during third periods with representatives from each of the l2O home rooms. Here they worked with the faculty and school executives in administering stu- dent body affairs, initiating new measures, improv- ing old ones, and interpreting the will of the students. By making use of such help and opinion, the council placed students in positions enabling them to evalu- ate teacher and student activities. The plan also gave students a chance to develop leadership. Having access to student desires through the homeroom representatives, the council was able to make con- clusive recommendations that really represented the wishes of the student body. Some of the problems and activities considered were tardies, merit credit values, social problems, care of grounds and property, and supervision of the Coyote Den. ln addition to the Board of Control, credit for the plan goes to Mr. C. I. Prather, Principal Iames S. Carter, and Board Adviser L. N. Butler. STUDENT COUNCIL: Much credit lor the success ot the newly-inaugurated Student Council goes to the homeroom leaders who acted as group representatives, bringing questions and suggestions ta the council.
