Good behavior was stressed all year by members of the Student Council. Conduct in the halls of SHS in classrooms, at basket- ball games, and everyplace around school in general was among the chief concerns of the group. A new method of election of members was started this year by the Council. This plan included the holding over of two members from each class in order that the Council might be more experienced the following year. One event that was particularly exciting for the Student Council was their sponsoring of the 1955 Homecoming last fall. The advisors who guided the activities were Mrs. Edith Crawley and Mr. William Drake. xnotHaaoiiji:.
