THE STUDENT COUNCIL Sponsor MISS LAWLESS The Student Council is the organization at Southwest in which students learn at first hand the duties of citizenship. Here is the proving ground for Democracy. No student group has taken upon itself such grave re- sponsibility as has this one, for it is the voice of the student body. Good government in a city, state, or nation depends upon the quality of the leaders which represent this city, state, or nation. Good leadership means good government. So it is with student government. A conscientious council which upholds high ideals does a major share in making an out- standing school. We point with pride to the record of the Southwest Student Council. Not only is it the student governing body, but it serves as a connecting link which joins the various advisory groups in all undertakings which need unified action. For example, the member or alternate acts as the agent for the collection of money, given by the students for various purposes, such as cookies for the U. S. O., the Pioneer for our boys in service, and the Junior Red Cross. It also sponsors the collection of articles for charity. These are but a part of the work of this busy group. Other duties include auditorium sessions, noonday entertainments, and care of the memorial case. Is it any wonder that the day of a council member and an alternate is one round of purposeful activity? Twenty

MISS MILDRED PIERCE One who never turned his back bu! marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break. Never dreamed tho' right were worsted, wrong would triumph. Held we fall to rise. are baffled to fight betier. Sleep to wake. llRobert Browning ,P Had we Browning's golden voice, we could adequately express our feel- ing of loss at the passing of Miss Pierce. We could tell of her ability to initiate, to organize, to teach. As it is, we can but humbly say that the patrons, students, and faculty of Southwest High School wish to pay tribute to her memory. Her splendid leadership and untiring service in the Student Council leaves a monument which will always be cherished. Nineteen
