Milliken President Vice President Secretary Treasurer STUDENT COUNCIL Early this year a committee of the faculty, appointed for that purpose, recommended the formation of a Student Advisory Council. The first meeting of this Council was held Thursday, February 2. Among the things considered by the Student Council are the chapelsg the care of the lawng the conduct of children on the play groundg and the elimination of tardies. The Stu- dent Council has taken upon itself the responsibility of selling tickets to all the school projects, they have encouraged atten- dance at basket ball games and have increased the students' interest in school activities. lVith this beginning, doubtless next year they will be able to accomplish a great deal for the good of the junior high school.

THE RAIL-SPLI TTER 23 NINTI-I GRADE. Merrill Ragle Merrill Enyeart Francis Smith Marvin Huling President Vice Pres. Secretary Treasurer ABOUT US BY OURSELVES Never before has any class passed through the doors of Junior High with so much knowledge in their heads as the Freshmen of 1922, who are the Senior class of our school. Even as seventh graders we were looked up to, as was proved when Francis Smith, a seventh grader, was elected Editor-in-chief of the Rail-Splitter. That year was spent under the leadership of Mary .lean Bailey as president. Though we hated to leave our teachers and the school in the spring, we bravely endured vacation but no class was as overjoyed as we were to come back when school reopened and we could begin setting new examples for the other classes. To help us do this. we chose Maxine Spradley, president. After another year, came eighth grade graduation. Oh, graduation! VVith the girls dolled up and the boys all com- ing to school clean at the same time, our hearts were stirred with the fear that our trouble might be in vain, but nearly all of us received our qualification papers and took one last, long look at the wonderful bust of Longfellow, which we had presented to the school. To the great joy of the faculty we returned to keep the school going another year, with Merril Ragle as president. The only thing that worries us as we leave, is how the school will get along without us, but we are needed at Washiiigton High School and this makes the parting easier.
