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.

P ' The first thing on the evening's program was a half hour's shadow. . 1 play by the first and second grades under the able direction of Mrs. Bu- A ' rolcer. This was ,followed by the minstrel show. Main characters were X K cl Francis Carlile, Howard Lord, Floyd McKinney, Chris Lamb, Max X Downing, and David Long. Musical numbers were given by the Glee Club. . ' it Before and after the minstrel each class furnished individual enter- , ' L , f: :M-1 a Y tainment. The third and fourth grades sold Christine: cards, the fifth and 'SD A 'A sixth made and sold popcorn and cracker-jack, while the seventh grade Q sponsored games of the ever popular ping-pong. The eighth grade lined A5 up pictures of three Axis leaders at which people threw tennis balls, the ' ex object being to knock them out. A V Freshmen drew suckers to the fish pond and the Sophomores scared qs, ,t everyone brave enough to enter their spool: house. Bingo and cake walk c7 were diversions sponsored by the lively Juniors. Prizes were given for games ' 9 won and the lucky winner of the most games was Robert Kirkpatrick, who G: received a large pillow as a prize. 4, yv Tempting odors from the cafeteria drew the crowd that way, where cg they found the industrious Seniors serving hamburgers, cider, ice cream. JD etc., on which they realized a good profit. V If the Seniors were still sleepy on the following Monday we should be polite and not ask them why, but I'lI tell you: they had a party at X A Murlea Lee's home after the evening's event, their plan being to keep the I I-7 remaining refreshments from being left over.
