Qclminishaticn The administrative body of Prescott high school is composed of four distinct groups, the Board of Education, the offices of superintendent and principal, the faculty, and the student council. Certain powers are vested in each of these groups, but the last three are directly or indirectly under the control of the first, the Board of Education. Selected by the taxpayers of the community, the board, Dr. J. H. Allen, Kenyon Trengove, and F. R. Steed, have control of the general system. The superintendent and principal who are appoint- ees of this group are closely associated with it, however. Elected by the popular vote of the students, the student council is a type of self-govern- ment. Dividing itself into small groups of three or four members in order to study more closely the many problems confronting it, the council investigates, discusses, and votes on matters relating to the affairs of the student body. Since the faculty is largely relieved by the student council from the task of attending to student problems, it is able to play a much more important part in the extra-curricular acti- vities of the school. Aside from their class room duties and their sponsoring of the various organizations, the members are always ready to help and advise the pupils. We, the student body, appreciative of the fine work done by the administrative bodies this year, wish to express our sincere thanks.
