Gloria Baker The student governing body is an organization of students in grades seven through Mathematics twelve, and they are elected by their classes to develop student responsibility, initiative and school pride; to promote worthy citizenship training, to provide a means for youth expression, and to promote school welfare and student cooperation. Meetings were held on Tuesday every week. The Student Council of Stamford Central School this year was led by Timothy Ger- mond, who was elected by vote of the student body. Other officers who were chosen to assist him were: Vice President, Robert Utter; Secretary, Doris Kerr; Treasurer, Lois Kapteina; Advisors, Miss Baker, Mr. Slentz. The Student Council again sponsored a West Point Trip. The trip was made October 27 to see the football game between Columbia and Army. A Point System committee under the leadership of Robert Utter, issued school letters to all high school students meeting the qualifications. This year after a student reaches the required number of points he is to have a chance to receive an addition bar by securing another set of required points. The Finance Committee headed by Janet Bailey, sold book covers with the school emblem on them, tablets, paper, erasers, rulers, and pencils as the main money making project for the council. Mary Newman was the Assembly Program chairman for the year. Among the assem- blies that were scheduled were five Antrim Bureau Programs, dramatics plays. Freshman initiation, music programs, Pep rallies, teacher assembly, prize speaking, exchange assemblies with other schools, Honor Society, and a Christmas pageant. Ushers for assemblies were chosen from the Student Council. The Lost and Found department proved to be successful under the committee of Ed- ward Cook and Thomas Wickham. The committee established a place where all articles were to be placed when they were found until claimed for. Among other activities that the council engaged in were purchasing the cheerleaders ’ uniforms and furnishing the cheerleaders money to buy the opposing squad refreshments. A World Friendship Campaign which was well supported by the students was also sponsored by the council. The council purchased a Soccer Trophy for the school, as the team won the league title and the semi-finals. The council again became a member of the National Asso- ciation of Student Councils. The council received from the Coke company line-up sheets, which were used at the home basketball encounters, and also set up an announcing system to be used at the gym for basketball games. Membership pins were ordered for the present Council members. Two main events sponsored by the council were a basketball game between the faculty and students as a money raising project. The James M. Cole circus held in March was another special event sponsored by the council. This was the first time anything of this kind was presented and it proved a great success. The Student Council sponsored the school news column in the local paper. The com- mittee that handled this, composed of Mary Newman, Doris Kerr and Robert Utter. The Student Council proved to have a very successful year and we hope to have cleared up some of the problems brought to us by the student body. We hope next year’s council will have as much success as we have had. 10
