STUDENT COUNCIL ’38 - - ’39 The new Student Council form of government, which was set up last year, has functioned much better than the old form of tne Athletic Association. It is the governing body of the school and is divided into Social, Athletic and Assembly Program committees. Regular meetings are held once in every two weeks. The Student Council started the year of 1938-1939 with officers elected in January of 1938. They were President, Marlin McElhenie; Vice-President, Jack Fousel; Secretary, Eloise Randall; Treasurer, John Shedd. The delegates from each class elected at that time were also on the Student Council. The Athletic committee sponsored a benefit supper for the purpose of buying new suits for both boys and gills basketball teams. This committee is under the supervision of our coach, Mr. Canfield. Election of new officers occurred in January 1939. The officers elected were: President, Leo Long; Vice President, Ronald Shedd; Secretary, Dorothy Martinson; Treasurer, Jean Blashfield. Each of the classes chose two representatives to the council. The seventh and eighth grades arc combined, sending two representatives from the group. Mr. Martinson is advisor of the Student Council.

President — Joseph Skudlarick Vice President — Jack Fousel Secretary — Richard King Treasurer — Marlin McElhenie Reporter — Ernest W’affle During the summer of 1938 our F. F. A. won second prize at the Calhoun County Fair through judging. When school started we had election of officeis which resulted in the above. We then started a drive to get new members and on November 2, 1938 a group of eight boys were initiated at the schoolhouse. We enjoyed a talk by Ralph Helm and refreshments after the initiation ceremony. This,year Jack Fousel and Joseph Skudlarick attended the county meetings as delegates from Tekonsha Jack being President of the county organization. Our 1939 schedule included basketball, speaking contest, F. F. A. initiation, judging contest at Kellogg Farms, F. F. A. week at Michigan State College. Our basketball team accomplished very much compared to the number of boys out for it and illness that occurred during the season. The lineup of the team was as follows: Center ..................... Donald Rogers Forward --------- —...... Elwin Williams Forward Jack Fousel Left Guard .................. Robert Smith Right Guard- Marlin McElhenie Substitutes Richard King and Richard Olney The schedule of games is as follows: They We Marshall (there) 11 27 Marshall (here) 11 10 Lakeview (there) 11 15 Coldwater (there) 13 17 Marshall (there) 9 20 Jack Fousel entered the speaking contest using his oration, “Cooperatives in a Democracy” which occured the same day that initiation was held in Marshall. After about three weeks of studying judging, the F. F. A. group went to Kellogg’s Farm to judge in the county contest. This qualifies us to go to the F. F. A. week on May 4 and 5 at Michigan State College at East Lansing. Seeds were judged and animals placed for our group of nationally known F. F. A. boys. 21
