Its pur- pose is best stated in the preamble of the Student Councills constitution: 'KTO establish a medium of association and cooperation with the principal and the faculty on school matters, to encourage and promote a finer school spirit, to create respect and ambition for high scholastic attain- ment, and to further the general Welfare of this high school. The Council is composed of the elected home room repre- sentatives, the three class presidents, and the editor of the Squib. The officers for 1960-61 were as follows: Steve Keith, president, Don Thompson, vice-president, Georgiann Mar- tin, corresponding secretary, Faye Cole, recording secretary, Trudy Haley, treasurer, and Barbara Benefiel, parliamen- tarian. Rita Fern Comstock and Frank Barnes were the faculty advisors. Student Council accomplished many things in the 1960-61 academic year. It sold school directories, managed the class elections, endeavored to improve scholarship, and sponsored many social events, one of which was the Fall WVind-Up Dance. Students should appreciate the Work done by the Student Council because it is through this organization that pupils can participate in the governing of Shelbyville High School. 16 Steve Keith, president, addresses members of the Student Council and its sponsor, Mrs. Comstock.

NOTHING IS SO DEAR AND PRECIOUS AS TIME? -- F. RABELAIS Acting as a steering body, the Executive Committee of Student Council assembles before each Student Council meeting and discusses agenda items. In order to increase the efficiency of the Student Council, this committee disposes of small matters without the aid of the council and refers to that governing group only those items of importance. The Executive Committee is the top policy-making organi- zation at S. H. S. The officers of the Student Council, the class presidents, the Squib editor, and one elected Student Council member from each class serve on this committee which is sponsored by Rita Fern Comstock and Frank Barnes. Also, the Executive Committee has the important duty of proposing amendments to the Student Council's constitution. An amendment must pass by a two-thirds vote before the steering committee will forward it to the council. Other projects of the committee coincide with those of the council, for these two organizations work closely together. STUDENT COUNCIL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE: ROW 1.
