To change or not to change the design of the school ring and other emblems has been one of the problems confronting the student council, an organization composed of homeroom presidents. During the first semester the council held a con- test in which students presented original designs. A winner not being selected, the problem was not settled during the semester. Breaking away from school tradition the stu- dent council sponsored, instead of a matinee dance, an evening dance called the Varsity Hop on December 10, 1937. Robert Longpre, president, and Charles Wes- lowski, sergeant-at-arms, attended the Saginaw conference and returned with enthusiasm for a safety-first program in the school. At the begin- ning of the second semester pamphlets were dis- tributed among the student body to carry out the safety project. There was much discussion throughout the se- mester on plans to prevent the rush during the lunch hour, to avoid the disorder during fire drills, and to educate students not to make paths across the campus. This organization is the congress of the school. Through this body students may express their ideas on the school problems and have them carried to the faculty and the administration. The officers were Robert Longpre, president; Chester Givens, vice-president; Esther Anderson, secretary; Claude Hulet, treasurer; Charles Wes- lowski, sergeant-at-arms; Mr. Covert, director.
