While there were other student organizations of this type prior to 1925, we do not have records of their activities. Between the years of 1925 and 1934, there was no governing body of students in operation. The fourteen members comprise five seniors, four iuniors, three sophomores and two freshmen. The school, as a whole, is expected to use the council members to voice its opinion. Meetings are held monthly but if occasion arises, special meetings may be called to discuss problems which come under their scope of activity. The school calendar is arranged by the council under the principal's guidance and other policies concerning our social and sports programs are handled by the council.

Published first in 1930, the Osage has come to be a tradition at Pratt and each volume is anticipated by the students. It contains pictures and an accurate account of our many activities during a given school year. While it is essentially the school year book, it is assembled by a board of seniors each year, who take great pride in the opportunity afforded them. The book is made possible financially by merchants and friends who advertise and by our subscription list of patrons and students. This year because of increased rates in printing, the senior class sponsored a movie to help defray the costs. This year's staff is: Editor-in-Chief ......... ........

TRAFFIC SQUAD Left to right-Philip Lombardi, Robert Pianta, Merton Cade, Edward Wetmore, James Hartzell, Hanford Johnson, Susannah Tiley, Marguerita Elm, Eleanor Carlson, Betty Zabielski, Dorothy Kelsey. Center-Mr. Aykroyd. The traffic squad serves a definite need in our school. lt is made up of members from each of the three upper classes whose responsibility it is to keep the student lines moving in a smooth and orderly fashion. This year they have the added duty of supervising the cafeteria and collecting the lunch tickets. A committee made up of faculty members and traffic squad members of the previous year choose the new members in the fall. The committee is careful to select only the students who they feel are capable of accepting the duties assigned to them in a reliable manner. Membership on the traffic squad is an appointment of honor. 9
