STUDENT COUNCIL- 1949 - 1950 Betty Murrill, ' 50, Secretary o N September 28, 1949, the Student Council of Scituate High School began their activi- ties by holding their first meeting under the supervision of Mr. George Froberger and Miss Esther Harrington, advisers. The members for this year are as follows: Seniors — George Mitch- ell, president; Betty Murrill, secretary; Penny Rich, Robert Lee, Carol Stearns, Donna Vickery, Joan Kettell. Juniors — Eugene Cohen, vice-pres- ident; Elliott Barrett. Scott Roberts, Joseph Cerilli. Sophomores — Edward Stewart, treas- urer: Barbara Prouty. Richard Clapp. Fresh- men — Elizabeth Grassie. Peter Palmer. Grade 8 — Charles Goddard. Grade 7 — Richard Mitchell. Most of the Council ' s activities were carried out by special committees, which were respons- ible for locker room inspection, football rallies, special assemblies, ways of raising money, the S. A. Dance, and school spirit. In addition to these activities, other projects were undertaken. For the first time in the history of our school, the Student Council formulated the school calendar in order to give all the stu- dents notice of coming events and ample time in which to make necessary preparations. Prior to this, the calendar had been drawn up by the school principal. A school handbook fund was also inaugu- rated by the Council. This handbook would con- tain school regulations, lists of societies, activities and other data; and it therefore is hoped that this project will soon be successfully completed. The climax of the Student Council ' s activities was School Loyalty Week, which was held from March 14 through March 17 in order to promote school loyalty, foster cooperation be- tween faculty and students, and show all pupils what Scituate High School should mean to them. During this week, essay, poster, and photography contests were held; school insignia were given to all students, and the S. A. Dance was held to climax the week. As the work of the 1949-19.50 Student Coun- cil draws to a close, all members earnestly hope that next year ' s Council will endeavor to carry on and further Student Council activities.

In order to earn money to pay for the ceremonial gowns, a successful food sale, directed by Betty Murrill. was held on December 3. We also made money this year by selling Scituate pins at the Thanksgiving Day football game. A inid-season, private induction ceremony was held at the Scituate High School auditorium in February to allow any qualifying members of the Senior Class to enter the Pro Merito Society before the school year ended in June. The only member was George Mitchell. In June, another induction will be held in a school assembly for the eligible inembers of the Class of ' 51. This is the second year that the Pro Merito Society has been organized, and already it is proving itself to be a valuable asset to Scituate High School and its students.
