Senior Student Council fConcludedJ New Student Council officers are elected for each semester. The Student Council in 1936-37 by diligent work and co-operative effort secured for the Stillwater public school system a S5500 motion picture machine complete with loudspeaker and screen equipment, a school flag, and a school calendar that hangs in the hall. All this was accomplished by sponsoring such ac- tivities as the Hoots and Quacks program by Ben F. Hammond of the Wichita Eagle, a faculty play, and a school carnival. This year the council has no definite financial goal to attain, but it is finishing the payment on the camera. The Council is pro- moting instead another goal of equal import- ance-the sponsorship of school dances to further better fellowship and social life in the school. This program was suggested by Supt. E. D. Price. The money from these dances goes to pay for general expenses of the council, such as dues in the Northern Student Council congress, cost of the State Student Council congress, and correspon- dence. The Student Council was host to the first State Student Council congress January 28, 1988. Because of the crowded conditions in the high school, the meeting was held in the First Methodist church, South. As a result of this convention a constitution was adopt- ed, and a state-wide organization completed. Next year Muskogee will be host to the con- vention. Stillwater belongs to the Northern Student Council congress, which is made up of the following schools: Ponca City, Barnsdall, Dewey, Enid, Perry, Jet, and Blackwell. It is hoped that the councilors to come will carry on as those in the past in trying to make the Student Council a noteworthy body and a means for more active student parti- cipation in school problems.
