Student Leaders This has really been an outstanding year for the Student Council. It was mainly through the council's efforts that the Youth Center came into being. They brought up the subject, sent around a petition, and, after the City Council had approved it, elected a committee to get the Youth Center going. The Student Council is divided into three com- mittees: social, athletic, and program. The social committee, with Eileene Phegley as chairman, sponsored the All School-Freshman Initia- tion party and the Homecoming festivities, which in- cluded a parade, field-day and a dance, with Phyllis Peek as queen. Johnny McBride had charge of the athletic com- mittee and did a swell job putting on pep meetings before the study hall. Don Morehead and Mr. Bat- tershell assisted him in presenting them. fWell, by now we are used to Mr. Battershell's corny ideas.j The program committee, through the aid of Mrs. Prosterman, secured many fine movies which were shown to the student body. iii Last spring the National Honor Society held a col- orful initiation in the early evening down by the river. After a delicious picnic supper several of the present senior members were informally initiated. The Society started this year off with an alumni picnic supper at the park, where Mrs. Prosterman and Marshall Reid really did justice to the ice cream. At the end of the first semester we were proud to welcome seven new members into our society. To be chosen for membership is regarded as one of the highest and most significant honors to be attained in high school. Only one-tenth of the junior and senior classes are eligible for membership in this national or- ganization. The determining factors for membership are character, service, leadership and scholarship.

Among this group were 10 lettermen from 1943 Shelby High football wars. Pre-season hopes for a winning team were high and membership in an ath- letic conference, the Illinois Mid-State Conference, add- ed to the air of competition.
