STUDENT COUNCIL First fowb, s' , 'Boyd, Nancy Campbell, Warren Underwood Second, row: Jack Brown, Victor Jose, John Osbourn, Jean Elliott Phyllis Had den, Hyla Jane Hadley, Bob Shwab, Claire Patten, Harvey Hunter The Student Council, sponsored by J. C. Beane, is a group elected by the student body. The Council cooperates with the faculty as well as the students in order to serve as a student governing body for the school. The Council consists of five senior represczztatives and four junior representatives who are elected by their respective classes. The seniors are Nancy Campbell, Val Nolan, Emil Rassmann, Robert Schwab, Sally Williams, and Virginia Davis and Bill Fernandes, alternates. During the year because of change of residence and illness, the Council lost three members and two alternates. They were replaced by Sue Anne Eveleigh. Malcolm McVie, and Richard Rehm. The juniors on the Council are Virginia Burkholder, Harvey Hunter, Madelyn Pugh, and Warren Underwood. The alternates are Doris Jones and Guy Boyd. Three sophomores and two freshmen representatives are selected by the Faculty Advisory Committee and the Council members. This year those selected were Jack Brown, Phyllis Hadden, John Osborne, Jean Elliot, and Victor Jose. There are two honorary members, Hyla Jane Hadley and James Gipe. Among other activities the Student Council has sponsored several en- tertainments of different types, namely the Tatterman Marionettes, Mur- dock, the Magician, and a miniature circus. These were presented before the student body. To defray the expense of these features a small ad- mission charge was made and any proiit was contributed to the fund for the improvement of the auditorium sound apparatus. The Council has met regularly each Monday during the school year to discuss matters of interest to the school. While the Student Council is maintained in the interest of the stu- dent body, it does not serve without reward. Each year the Student Coun- cil gives a picnic for its members and guests. This has always been a gala and long remembered occasion. - Nancy Campbell. 1 X . i XX- J xx. 'Zyl
