STUDENT COUNCIL Left to right. First row: Norma Palmer, Joyce Lutter, Richard Petersen, Joyce Dickens, Mary Alice George. Second row: Mr. Niehus. Roger Patterson. Mary Ann Haag. Mr. Beck. The Student Council is composed of seven students, who were elected for their posi- tions by each class, and two advisors. The senior members are Mary Alice George. Joyce Dickens, and Dick Petersen; the jun- iors are Mary Ann Haag and Roger Patter- son; the sophomore is Joyce Lutter; and the freshman is Norma Palmer. Superintendent Niehus and Coach Beck serve as faculty advisors. At the first meeting we elected two pre- siding officers, Dick Petersen, president, and Joyce Lutter, secretary-treasurer. While there are no regular meeting dates, the superintendent or president may call a meeting whenever he thinks it advisable. Any member may also request a meeting. One of the projects started by us is the Opportunity Hour which is designed for the benefit of those students who do not use their study periods to best advantage. We have also sponsored the opening of the school on Tuesday evenings for recreation. Any member of the Council may bring for discussion any complaint that has been brought to his attention. This is the close of the second year of Student Council in our high school, and we believe it has an important place among student activities. is
