Cross' adviser, Katholeen W' k h ff H Mary Slabotsky. lc en oe er' HE establishment of a Student Council in Shawnee-Mis- sion owes its beginning to the principal, A. L. Cross. He first brought the matter before the student body in 1933, when he called for an election of representatives from each class to act as delegates to the Student Council convention held at Wyandotte high schoo-lQ The delegates who attended the convention returned with many helpful and beneficial ideas for their fellow classmates. T'hey also had a broader knowledge of the function-ings of a Student Council. Mr. Cross presented the matter of organizing a Student Council in the high school 'to the student body, at a regular assembly. The suggestion was accepted, and a chosen committee of the delegates set out to formulate a constitution. After the constitution was organized and accepted, the home rooms elected the nominees for membership. The purpose of the organization is to promote an active and general participation in the accomplishments of the school throughout the student body, to improve the standards of scholarship in the school and stimulate the desire of the stud- ent body for higher education, and to promote a closer rela- tionship between the students and the faculty and among all organizations within the school. The membership of the organization consists of twenty- one menfilcers, five from each of the four regular classes and one member from the post graduates. Principal A. L. Cross acts as faculty adviser. This year officers are Betty Coulson, president, Marian James, vice-president, Betty Curry, secretary. Persons hold- ing these offices are required to have a B average in their school work. Committees chosen by the Student Council members this year are the Program, Safety, and Usher committees. The Program committee consists of Virginia Brooks, Roland Gar- rett, and Mary Slabotsky. Members of the Safety committee are Marjorie Rea, Gayle Anderson and Robert Justice. Those on the Ushering committee are Carl Alleman, Marian James, and Tommy Dawson. ..-.,..-.....-,- ..,.. ..-...-,. .,. . -..- . .. . -' --- ' '
