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
