Student Council In order to bring the students and faculty more closely together in the administration of school activities, Shawnee-Mission has a Student Council. Each fall, five members are elected from each of the four classes, making a total of twenty members. To have membership in the organization, one must have a scholastic rating of at least C, and be chosen by the majority of the students in his class. Tommy Dawson, Jr., Betty Andrews, and Paul Miller were the three Shawnee-Mission delegates to the regional conference at Ponca City, Cklahoma, early last fall. This year the Council sponsored the first two mixers in the history of the school. One was held in the fall, and the other early in the second semester. The Council also staged the annual ping pong tournament. A boys' singles, girls' singles, and boys' doubles contests were held. On alumni day it was the duty of the Student Council to welcome back old grads and present to them badges inscribed with their name and year of graduation. The program committee, composed of Dortha Early, Paul Miller and Willia James, has been responsible for assembly programs and lyceums throughout the year. The president of the Council who has presided at all assemblies and has the title of president of the student body is Nan Sperry, senior. The other officers are Tommy Daw- son, Jr., senior, vice-president, Betty Andrews, senior, secretary, and Eileen Swope, junior, treasurer. V Front row-T. Dawson, P. Boxmeyer, B. Lightfoot, B.
