Council Moves Ahead The Student Council is a means of teaching the functions and structure of democratic government while promoting student-teacher co-operation and encourag- ing the participation of students in beneficial projects. The Council represents its constituents in a con- stant effort to promote and improve school relations. Although it provides an opportunity for leadership, it also stresses good fellowship. Following this policy, it tries to involve as many students as possible in its varied activities. National Catholic Youth Week, which included a torchlight parade and hootenanny and Mr. Wendholt Day, which was preceded by the presentation of a gold watch to the custodian, Mr. Linus Wendholt, are only a few of the Council sponsored projects. Activating its role as student government, the Council, assisted by its adviser, Sister Mary Aquin, works assiduously to amend its policies, standards, and activities for the betterment of the school and its many members.
