1 THE UNIONETTE For the past two years a school paper has been published once a month. Getting the news turned in to the editor has been a greater task this year than last year. The most important reason is probably the fact everyone is busy trying to do double his share of work because of the war effort. The first two on three weeks of the month are spent in writing news for the paper. Each class has a news reporter. These reporters write up the activities and news of the class. The reporters turn the news in to the edit- or of the paper who has it checked for spelling and punctuation. The news is then typed by members of the typing classf Then it is sent to Gal- veston to the printer. Within a week the Unionette is printed and sent back to the school. Due to the cooperation of the news reporters and class members the Unionette has been a success. Much of the credit for the success of the Unionette goes to mer- chants of nearby towns for their advertising.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council was organized to introduce a more democratic spirit into out school and to shift some of the responsibility, as well as some of the power of governing from the teachers to the students. The Student Council is made up of one representative from the six upper grades. The representatives are as follows: Seventh grade, Mary Jane Grossg Eighth grade, Bobby Myers, Freshmen, Patty Hewitt, Sopho- mores, Rosemary Mohlerg juniors, Marieta Srnithg Seniors, Murlea Lee From the six Council members a president, a yice-president, and a secretary were elected. Monitors were appointed to aid the teachers in corridors, assembly, and classroom duty. The future of the Student Government depends entirely upon the student body. The teachers have endorsed the plan and have done their utmost to aid its progress. We hope next year to increase the number oi students in favor of Student Government, but only when all the students back the decisions and plans of the Council can we put over a real SUCCESS. The Senior Government Class deserves credit for helping organize this Council. President, Murlea Lee Vice President, Marieta Smith Secretary, Patty Hewitt -S 4.
