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.

26 'THE RAIL-SPLITTER AN APPRECIATION OF OUR FACULTY We have reached the conclusion. that it is much better to give a few bouquets while all the members of the faculty can hear us, instead of waiting until we are scattered around the World and then showering compliments upon them when they can not hear us. The junior high school has the best faculty in the world: that we all realize even though we are slow to admit it. Yes, every one of them is splendid---fat ones, thin ones, tall ones, short ones, merry ones. and sad ones, even those who believed in working us to death. After all they did it for our own good. It made no vital difference to them whether we passed with flying colors, or failed by the roadside, except that they were interested in us and wished to make us a success. How far they succeeded remains to be seen. Teachers that we have mold our characters. Many men and women who have made a great success in life can thank the teachers who gave them inspirations. Many teachers whom we now consider old crabs will always be remembered as our-best friends and we will realize how splendid they were in their endeavors to make fine men and women of us. Mr.: Mercer, our principal, has been a friend to all of us during the time we have spent here, as have all the teachers. We take off our hats to our faculty, who have meant more to us than they will ever realize. Words are not adequate to express our debt to them. .l- --11 STICK TO THE SHIP Are you going to stick to thewship or are you going to quit school now and so leave the ship? Now is no time to quit school. Junior high school is not the ending. It is only the beginning. Those whoequit now have really not completed the work they should' have in order to be able to fight the battle of life. In this day and age it is impossible for any boy or girl to get very far without a high school education at the least. No matter what line of work you con- sider, how high can you go without an education? Look at the men who have accomplished great things. Nearly all had
