This question might very well have been spoken during a student council meeting this year, since almost every meeting begins with problems similar to this one. Along with the Home- coming festivities, student council mem- bers also planned the Christmas dance, Honor Day Banquet, and noontime ac- tivities. This organization is composed of one representative from each homeroom and is guided by Mr. W. J. Reynolds in planning for the welfare' of the students of Tecumseh.
