PUPIL PARTICIPATION . ' - What We have done and what has been done for us is only the prepara- tion, the outline-sketching of a picture to be filled with color and life. - When Thomas Starr King gave expression to this thought he re- .ferred to the growth of our country, but is especially fitting for ,the Work of our Executive Board, for through it the outline-sketches of all the student body activities are first formulated and they come into full life and color as each pupil adds his bit to the picture. I How very sketchy and lacking in interest would be the work of our school if the various activities which are sponsored by the executive board were not filled out and made to 'live as ideas, aims and purposes of every boy and girl. The board sponsors the student stores and cafeteria. The work of the cafeteria is its biggest undertaking. The Honor Society, the school publica- tions and,all the service work of the student body is backed by this board. In addition to ten elected members from the diliferent grade sections. the presidents of Every Girl Club, Boys' Starr League, Boys' Council, and Girls' Cabinet meet as honorary members at each weekly meeting. Under the direction of this group the beautification project was first outlined. The new type in the print shop, the money wrapper in the study body office, the stage furniture, and the pictures, tapestries, and potteiy are evidences of the realization of the peaks of vision held by these representa- tive groups. The new trays and special service in the demonstration dining room and the presenting of many plays by the dramatic classes were made possible by the appreciation of beauty, the forward look and good manage- ment of the executive board.

BOYS' COUNCIL Among the many organizations of our school a very purposeful one is the Boys' Council. It is a group of about thirty boys, approved by the faculty and active in maintaining order throughout the school. This organization is symbolic of the highest ideals of character and achievement. Undoubtedly its standards have been a great factor in the progressive strides the council has taken. The purpose of councilmen is to achieve greater safety for fellow pupils by encouraging a sense of safety rnindedness. The boys of the council have many duties besides just those allotted them. They must know when their authority is needed and must be alert in any emergency which may arise. The councilmen strive to be models in sportsmanship and fellowship for the rest of the student body. Experience of this type proves invaluable to them in their daily life. Ervin H awkins, A 9 David Mocifze, A9 A RADIO BROADCAST This is station T. S. K. broadcasting over a nation wide network from the studio of the Cabinet Girls, sponsored by our vice principal. We now introduce the president of the Senior Cabinet who will explain the activities of the Cabinet Girls. e Hello, friends of Radio Land, I have been asked to give a short talk about the Cabinet Girls. These girls have been chosen from among their classmates because of their reliability, leadership and cooperation in Physical Education. They have also been approved by all of their teachers for this work. They help to mack a self-governing body of all the girls of T.S.K. They enable the girls to work out their own individual problems and to think for themselves. They are depended upon by the school for their own ability to keep order in the Cafeteria line, at the pop-corn stand, at the candy store, around the yard and other important places about the building. One sees them at their places always trying to be of help to others. They are shown great courtesy by the girls and everyone tries to cooperate. I hope this will enable you to understand the activities ofthe Cabinet Girls. Thank you very much,.,'Miss President, for speaking to us. We now have Every Girl who will speak to us on what she thinks of the Cabinet. Speaking for T. S. K. I am grealy impressed with the many activities that the Cabinet Girls perform. Sometimes I have caught myself lowering the high standards I have set. N ever-the-less, a Cabinet Girl has always come to my aid .and has helped me to keep my standard up. They are faithful helpers and I am able to rely upon them in times of need. I am very glad there is such a helpful institution in this school. I thank you. Charlortte Muir, B9 .
