Carl Courtright ....... G ne Getz ........... BRING UP THE REAR HY in the world are those first graders in our procession? lt couldn't be-Oh, but it is! Why, they're the freshies! Look at the pair that is coming- eBill Miller and Robert Phegley---what a pair! Hey, Robert, why don't you save your energy and climb into Bill's pocket? And look at that one. Oops! I must get glasses. I almost stepped on Carl Kensil that time. My goodness, they go zipping down the hall as if there were a fire. I wonder if they realize how dangerous it is to dodge in and out like that. Though the freshmen have just followed along behind the other classes this year, it is amazing what initiative some of them have. They clamor for entertainment, and unless they have it, they go off in a corner C?l and make their own. At the annual school party held at the opening of school last fall, Carl Courtright, Babe Baptist, Stanley Spesard, and Bill Miller became so bored that they decided to liven things up a bit and withdrew to take a shower. A few of the more energetic and daring .............President .............Vice-President Shirley Mochel ...................... Secretary-Treasurer Stanley Spesard, Wanda Sain, Robert Baptist .......................... Student Councll of them went out for sports, but they were so small that they had to be lifted up in order to see what was going on. In basket- ball, for instance, the upper classrnen had to have really good eyesight to discern be- tween the ball and the freshmen. The girls, and there are lots of them, have been pretty well occupied since they make up the new glamour girls of S.H.S. The very first day Shirley Mochel and Dee Meyer started attracting masculine eyes and they have kept it up all year. Maxine Thompson has been doing all right for herself, too. Now don't get a bad impression about this new class because it has some geniuses, too. Nellie Keller, Irene Bowman, Doris Ar- chey, and Carl Courtright are the brains be- hind the group. Like all other classes they have their gangs, packs, and what-have- you, as for instance, the Iune Hood-Kathryn Fox combination. All in all, we are proud of this new group that brings our class parade to an end, and we shall hear more of them in the years to come. No wonder Gene and Cm-I are happy! Page 19

THE STUDENT CCDUNCII. SEATED: Arnold Bland, Iohnny McBride, Vinita Scott, Lyle McConnell, Lowell Don Hickman, Marshall Reid, lune Bland, Myron Braden, Betty McCord. STANDING: Stanley Spesard, Robert Baptist, Harry Davis, Waynz- Howse, Mr. Feqley, Alice Iones, Wanda Sain. U HE meeting is called to order! These were President Hickman's tamiliar words as another sixth hour rolled around and the council meeting began. Sometimes it wasn't so orderly as this, especially when Slick or some other member came trailing in troni lunch late, but we were generally under control and ready tor business in a short time. Our business Was usually some- Iohnny. Vinitu. and Lowell Don We disagree. Pa jc 20 thing pertaining to annual school activities such as plans for Homecoming or student council elections, but many times we had original ideas, too, such as a iuke box for the gym. We didn't follow the beaten path this year in many things. At the suggestion of Wayne and Harry we decided to inalce Homecoming different and elected a king and queen instead ot the traditional queen. When time rolled around tor the Student Council election, we also decided to hold a primary. This Worked out very well, espee cially as it was a very honest election due to the use ot stenciled ballots. CNet that any ot our elections are ever dishonestl. By the way, our acting oiticers are: Lowell Don, president: Marshall, vice-president: and Slick, secretary-treasurer. We played our part in the war eitort by staging two bond drives and a paper drive. Our stage in the study hall was piled high with paper and card board, and it was rumored that Mr. Battershell had made the supreme sacritice ot giving up his collection ot Esquire.
