Student Council The Student Council is an important organization in Roosevelt High. It plans many interesting programs and events plus its regular purpose of making rules by which the school abides. One of the annual functions of this organization is the sale of booster plates. A Latin American program was procured for October 12. A minister and his wife told us of some of the South American countries which they had visited. Many articles, such as rugs, pictures, and costumes, were exhibited: and two or three songs were sung by the minister's daughter. As is the custom, the Student Council planned the annual Thanksgiving Pro- gram. Dr. Kirkpartick gave the main address and was assisted by the other ministers of the community. Another custom oi the Council is to buy and decorate a Christmas Tree which is placed in the lower hall. This is appreciated by all who see it. December 15, Reverend Iohnson was obtained to give a Christmas message to the students of the school. A radio broadcast was planned by the members of the Council which was recorded Ianuary 27 QWASKD. Mr. Brooks from the State Police spoke on safety February 17. The high light of the programs of the Council was the guidance program planned for the Iunior and Senior classes. These are oi great help to the stu- dents who do not know exactly what they want to do after graduation.

Sunshine Society All the girls of Roosevelt belong to the Sunshine Society. in which better citi- zenship is the goal. October 8 was organization day for the Sunshine Society and as is the tradi- tion, all Sophomore girls were initiated. The society in collaboration with the Braves Council planned a dance that was known as the Soc Hop . It was held in the Lincoln Gym, October 20. The second semester a Sadie Hawkins Day Dance was given where the table was turned, and the girls took the initiative in the common courtesies. This dance was held in the Staggs Gym on March 4. At Christmas the tradition is for the girls to go caroling and take baskets con- taining iruit and canned goods to cheer the shut-ins and old folks. One of the services that the society does is to sell candy. cokes, potato chips. etc., at noon to add variety to the cold lunches of some of the students. Each summer a camp is held at Tecumseh tor Sunshine girls. We usually send two girls so that the following year the leaders may have a better knowledge of the meaning of Sunshine and may help other members to strive toward its goal.
