STUDENT CDUNCI ELECTION to Student Council probably is the outstanding honor of the school. Membership is based on general citizenship, including scholarship, sportsman-ship, and character. This 1934-35 body is a lively and progressive group. The members are: Bill Kennedy, President; Tom Priakos, Vice-President; Juanita Atkins, Secretary and Treasurer; Campbell Jarvis, Marion Harrison, Kula Makris, Vern Morgan, Grace Nell Lyle, Claudis Jacks, Jimmy Ryland, Mary Petticrew, John L. Alexander, Lois Hogg, Ina Fae Bolin, Charles Triplett, W. T. Seawell, Fay Russell, Mabel Hardin, Howell Westbrook, Oscar Matlock, Catherine Ann Shepherd, Patsy McBryde, Claralie Knox, Eileen Murphy, Allen Sellars, Margaret Robinson, Ola McDonald, Edith Hankins, Walter Wilkins, Rose Custer Hollis, Oma Laminack, Mary Louise Locke, Joe Clement, Billy Ritchie, Norman Merritt, Silas Dunn, Judith Alexander, Beverly Bridges, Elva Lee Little, Buddy Norton, Jacob Graham, Dan McDonald, Mary Chew Brummett, Joe Madding, Chester Doty. One of the improvements over for- mer years for which the council is responsible is the regulation of traffic in the halls. They also worked up the splendid pep meeting which was held before the Little Rock football game on November 17. The pep meeting is now as much of the celebration as the game itself. In order that out-of-town guests be taken care of, a welcoming committee was appointed. This year the council sponsored a contest which was held among the home rooms for the purpose of selling season ticket to the basketball games. Action is taken every year concerning the defacing of school property, but this year the council made progress. At our exit we challenge the succeeding classes to produce a more conscientious or loyal student council than this in which we had a part. Top row, left to right: Clements, Sellars, Wilkins, Morgan, Laminack, Ritchie, Seawell, Jacks, Harrison, McNulty, Norton. Second row: Mcrnt, Bridges, Knox, Shepherd, Triplett, D. McDonald.

McDonald, Atkins, Petticrew, Makris, Bolin, Kennedy. [Page Five]

FACULTY THIS YEAR the faculty of Junius Jordan High School headed by Mr. H. F. Dial, principal, is experimenting with and working on a new curriculum. This curriculum attempts to adapt education to a changing civilization. It is concerned with the real needs of students more than with traditional subject matter.. By this method the students are trained to solve problems through thinking rather than through memorizing facts. Miss Nannie Mae Roney, head of the English Department, has permitted the students in her classes to have greater freedom in the selection of their reading material and has put more emphasis on individual reading and selection of books. Mrs. Ed Russell, Miss Josephine Martin, and Miss Mary Toney are the other teachers in the English Department who are cooperating in this effort. Mr. Howard Elder has attempted to give his advanced Latin students a more comprehensive view of Roman literature by giving facts of literature in connection with history. Mr. J. B. Bassett is head of the Mathematics Department. Besides business arithmetic he teaches algebra, geometry, and psychology. Coach Allen Dunaway, in addition to his athletic supervision, teaches geometry and history. Mr. J. L. Patterson is the head of the Social Science Department, teaching American history and problems of democracy. He also instructs in public speaking. Miss Gussie Carmical teaches American history and world history while Mrs. T. J. Collier, Jr. has world history classes only. In these departments of social science efforts are being made to cooperate with the other departments in accordance with the new system. In the Commercial Department which includes shorthand, typing and bookkeeping, Mr. W. E. Burnham, Mrs. V. W. Fernekes and Miss Edna Jewell Smart are the instructors.
