i 5 ' i f i gf ggi- President Jerrell Glenn presided over the student council and directed student activities. Often the student council found more than enough to do during their weekly meetings. Collectively and individually the members settled disputes between classes, prepared advertising for all school activi- ties, kept a record of the sports, arranged dances, assemblies, and elections, and con- trolled thc student body money. Money was the usual big problem, but after 13 years as sponsor, Mr. Franklin was well equipped with answers. In order to put out a better Telescope, it was excluded from the student body card and sold sep- arately. For the first time the student body cards had pictures on them. Returns from 1953 football games were sufficient to pay all sports expenses. The Snack Shack brought up the problem of, Who sells what?'l With the classes' approval the Look at that money! And it all came under the jurisdiction of Cl'l'0l'S. Darlene Bell, treasurer, and Nancy Read, assistant treasurer fleftb. These girls counted the money, paid the bills, issued purchase or- ders, signed checks, and kept the books - including hunting for Writing - in the form of notes, minutes, and letters - along with other odd jobs kept Secretary Pat Finnelly Cbelowy busy. Besides taking over in the presi- dent's a b s e n c e , Eddie Walsh frightb, as vice president, made up the program for and super- vised all assemblies, and took charge of school elections.

Office ,-44 mae' Central office is the center of all activities in our school. Both the elementary and the high school offices are connected through the central office by a unique chain of command. The Board of Trustees is elected by the voters in this community. The Board and the superin- tendent Work together in handling all the district's affairs and problems. Also in the central office . . H. is a staff of workers who handle the typing, 1 ing, correspondence, and many other very important details. Both the principal of the elementary school and the principal of the high school report to the superintendent. Vice-principals and faculty mem- bers go to the principalsg the faculty works directly with the students. ' Requisitions for all school purchases are pro- cessed through the central office. Thus purchases are coordinated in as efficient and economical a manner as possible and is the reason the Board has not needed to raise the local tax rate. Mr. Montgomery is the coordinator of all these activities. Besides, he hires faculty and other per- sonnel, supervises both the high school and ele- mentary curriculums, and coordinates their pro- grams. Assisting Mr. Montgomery are the central office personnel-Miss Christy, Mrs. Wheeler, Miss French, and Mrs. Semore.

Among the miscellaneous problems of the council were choosing song leaders, approving the social calendar, and pushing the sale of season tickets. Because of the increase in enrollment, the council voted to have the seventh and eighth grades elect their own publicity and social chairmen and plan their own social calendar. Every time the council appropri- ated money for a senior high dance, the junior high received an equal amount. Membership and interest were stimu- lated in the California Association of Stu- dent Councils by attendance at the district and regional meetings where kinks in the work of self-government were ironed out. One of the most profitable district meets was held at Needles March 6. Receiving pointers from Mr. Franklin, sponsor, are the class representatives, who keep the classes informed and who tell the council what the students want.
