The Student Council • • • The Student Council, which was organized last year under the direction of Mr. Harry Stone, has been extremely successful. It consists of four senior members, three juniors, two sophomores, one freshman, and one student body representative at large. Last year the main undertaking of the Student Council was the paper drive. Pa- per was either brought to school or it was collected on Saturdays. The Council also began the sale of candy last year until the shortage of candy brought this to a halt. While this was carried on, it proved very successful. This year Dr. Stone and Miss Koch are the advisers with Shirley Bolliger, presi- dent; Dick Van Horn, vice-president; Lorraine Unsicker, treasurer; and Joanne Koch, secretary. Mary Alice Hinman was chosen student body representative at large. Her du- ties are to report to the student body the decisions of the Council. The Student Council has been very active in sponsoring various school activities. They sponsored the scrap drive, collecting 48 tons of scrap. As Tremont went over the quota, it was a great success. The noon hour recreation plan was put in the hands of the Student Council. One of the teachers is in charge with Frank Hel'.emann assisting. The boys play basketball at one end of the gym while the girls and remaining boys dance or play badminton or ping-pong. Ping-pong is also played in the Commercial room. On October 24, some of the members went to the district convention at Peoria, where Louise Bauman was elected vice-president of the District Student Council. They stayed for the banquet; everyone had an enjoyable time, as well as having the honor of Louise, vice-president-elect of the District Student Council bestowed upon us. The Student Council had charge of the Christmas program. The program was a “Double or Nothing” quiz in which several students took part. The Council also took care of buying and decorating the Christmas tree. A Victory booth was placed on the main floor corridor. Phyllis Bolliger, Dan Koch and Ernie Aberle decorated the booth very attractively. The stamp sales were very suc- cessful. They sold stamps on Tuesday and Friday mornings and noons. The average sale was about $100 a week. First row. loft to right: Miss Koch, adviser; Mary Alice Hinman. Lorraine Bolliger. president; Louise Bauman. Joanne Koch, secretary.
