The students are chosen by the vote of the students and by the faculty. It is limited to 15% from the senior class and 5% from the junior class.

They have sponsored all of our assembly programs and have resented a few parties, which did not go over because of the inadequate supply of records. The first legislation passed by the student council of next year should be that of purchasing for schbol dances. The most active representative this year was Ronald Kontechy. Host of the legislation passed was brought up by him. All the bills passed by the c uncil were chiefly concerned with activity points, cheerleaders outfits, a few amendments to the constitution, the sponsering of school parties and pb sembly programs, and the removing of the mirror in the assembly hall.
