Page 46 fflfarmony of furpose Even a casual observer will note that there is harmony of purpose which regulates the life at S. S. High through the medium of what is called Student Council established on democratic principles. The purpose of this organization is twofold: to train real leaders who are badly needed in this troubled world, and to form valuable habits in performing certain duties and responsibilities which tie up with the wel- fare of the individuals, and groups in and outside of school walls. In presiding over groups those who were chosen as leaders have a chance to prove their mettle. They must stand by convictions even though they are unpopular. They must learn to surmount difficulties, to meet per- sonal disappointments without losing poise and confidence. The members of the student council must give more of themselves for the good of others. They must learn to perform their duties and sacrifice many a pleasure and interest in order to contribute to the satisfaction or happiness of their fellow students. Moreover, the activities of the student council extend beyond the walls of the school. They know the danger that 'consciousness of the kind plays in the world today, and, therefore, to develop the spirit of brother- hood, there are departments in the Student Council which develop real humanitarians in bringing help to those who need it, and their sympathies are not limited by social position, distance, nationality or race.
