The group meets every Tuesday to decide on favorable administration for the school. Any student of Tech who is interested in seeing how the group works is invited to at- tend these meetings and voice his opinions. However, this is not the only way which the students can have their say in the school government 5 the home room representa- tives make reports in their respective home rooms and welcome any suggestions or criticisms from fellow students. One of the traditional projects sponsored by the council was a very successful Homecoming. This year the council tried out a plan by which they would have a smaller representing body meet more often to help decide some matters of importance. Miss M. A. Walsh and Mr. F. J. Herda are the capable advisers of the group. The four students pictured to the left headed the work of Student Council for the past year. They are: Ernest Porupsky, president 3 Leona Almer, treasurer, Dorothy Westerberg, secre- tary 5 and Keith Maurer, vice-president. The duties of the president included pre- siding at meetings, appointing committees, and seeing that this work is done. It is an es- tablished tradition that the vice-president is also general chairman for Homecoming activi- ties and he appoints the chairmen that work under him. The secretary keeps the minutes of all meetings and the treasurer keeps account of all financial matters in connection with council work. Page I4

Superintendent H. B. Gough continues his work of educational supervision with a record of twelve successive years of selected superin- tendent of public schools, to his credit. His job is not an easy one. It includes regulation of school expenditures, introduction of new courses of study, preparation of school budgets, execution of Board of Education decisions, and arrangements for new school buildings. In a school of this size it is necessary for the stu- dents to have capable and efficient leaders. Mr. Gough has fulfilled this position to the point of perfection. The students have come to know him as a genial person who has only their interests uppermost in his mind. During his time at Tech High, he has established en- during traditions which have become an in- B GOUGH tegral part of the administration of the school. MR. H' Miss Elizabeth Clark, our principal, is the center of the school. To her goes full credit for building our school well through her inspiring leadership and high American ideals. She has promoted principles of democracy and instilled in students a gratitude for being American citizens. Her splendid personality has proved unusually favorable with all these, while her daily activity has won many personal friends. Few men have endeared themselves to as many students in so short a time as our vice-principal, Mr. Frank J. Herda. Under his guidance, the students of Tech have successfully selected subjects which will help them not only now but in many years to come. One of his accomplishments at Tech is the re-estab- lishment of the National Honor Society.
