President; .1. I ' honipson, Secre- tary; W. Brainley, Treasurer. Co-incident witli the entrance of the class of 1952 into Punchard Hioh School in the fall of 1919, the Student Council, which had been relatively inactive for a lonfj period of time, was re-orjianized w ith three of our classmates as charter members. Raeburn Hathaway as Class President served with Janet Thompson and Richard Brartdey, who were the Faculty Representatives. This threesome retained membership in the Student Council in similar capacities for the remainder of their high school courses, Richard Bramley serving as treasurer for all three years, and Raeburn Hathaway as President of the Council for the past two. In the Spring of 1951 another key position. Secretary of the Council, was filled by Janet Thomp- son. During the school year 1931-1952 an increased membership from our class represented the various organizations of the school. These were: Charlotte Kelley, Faculty Representative; .lohn Kmo Ross, basketball representative; Alan Wilson, football; James Murray, baseball; Robert McCabe, track; Barbara Folley, Class Secretary. As the organization reached ma- turity during our senior year, many radical changes began to take form. The Constitution was amended, giving track representation in the council for the first time and making necessary the ratification of any amendment by a majority vote of the student body. The council was then authorized by the student body to determine the rate of P. A. A. dues and the ratio of distribution to eacli organization. A valiant effort to collect these dues followed. At the sug- gestion of the Council, library regulations were liberalized, locker-rooms were refurbished and equipped for greater efficiency, bus transportation to the Small Schools Basketball tournament was arranged, and deserving seniors were exempted from final exams at the discretion of the individual teachers. Conspicuous among the achievements prompted by the Student Council was the painting and improvement in the care of the Girls ' Room, launched by three girls each representing one of the classes. The graduating members of this year ' s Student Council feel that they are leaving behind a Council and Constitution set upon a sound foundation constructed under the guidance and supervision of Mr. Kellmurray, Faculty Advisor. They further prophesy that the pro- minence the Council achieved so recently will last as long as its members continue to have Mr. Howe ' s approval of, and interest in their work.
