STUDENT COUNCIL President . Vice President Secretary Treasurer Sponsor....... OFFICERS ....... Carolyn Zimmerman Dale Willard .......Bob Robinson Bob Hayden .............Miss McGuire The Student Council is, no doubt the most important student-elected organization in school since it deals with the government of the students and contributes much to the bringing about of better policies in the governing system. The problems and suggestions of the students are brought before the council by the homeroom representatives, ere considered and discussed. The District Meeting of Student Councils was held November 3, 1945, at Springfield and was attended by five of cur members including: Marilyn Kiser, Elza Lacy, Lois Ann McGreevy, Zelma Windmiller and Carolyn Zim- merman. Our President, Carolyn Zimmerman, represented Pittsfield in a panel discussion on the subject of compulsory military training. Several assembly programs and all school parties have been sponsored by this organization. The dances were held in the gym and receipts from soda pop sales were used to purchase records for the juke box. With the aid of Miss McGuire and Mr. Vos-hall, the Student Council has, during the past year, filled its position in the school administration successfully, and feels it has brought about a better relationship between student and teacher.
