The representatives and presidents from every class and the presidents of such organiza- tions as the F.F.A., F.H.A., G.A.A., the Editor of the Voice and the Editor of the Annual are members of the Student Council. The president is elected by the whole school in a regular election complete with primaries. He or she is elected from the Junior class and is president for one year, and is the leader of the organization. The Student Council at its first meeting elects its own officers, a vice-president, secre- tary, and a treasurer, from the members of the Student Council. The Student Council holds a meeting every month on the first Tuesday following class meetings. The business of the Student Council is con- ducted according to parliamentary procedure. Every student's complaint should be made to the Student Council and thought and work will be given to it. The members of the Student Council this year are President, Marvin White; Senior Class Representative, Emma Rench; Senior President, Jack Martin; Junior Class Representative, Charles Luman; Junior President, Tom Good- ing; Sophomore Class Representative, Jim Smith; Sophomore President, Clinton Cannon; F.F.A. President, Donald Sheckler; F.H.A. President, Marilyn Cox; G.A.A. President, Berta Lou Conion; Annual Editor, Virginia Peterson; and Voice Editor, Joy Widmer. The officers of the Student Council this year are Marvin White, president; Donald Sheck- ler, vice-president; Berta Lou Conion, secre- tary; and Marilyn Cox, treasurer. Some of the Student Council's main duties are as follows: 1. Approving dates chosen by a class or an organization to hold a party. 2. Sending representatives to the State Stu- dent Council Convention. 3. Teaching beginners dancing. 4. Making improvements and additions to the school, such as: a. School flag. b. School loyalty song. c. Bells spaced at the noon hour to prevent crowding in the lunch room. 5. Sponsoring the assembly programs. 6. Sponsoring the March of Dimes, Junior Red Cross Membership, Heart Fund, etc. 7. Sponsoring Recreation Round-Up. The Student Council should be kept busy with suggestions because it is the best way that students can voice their opinions on how the school is being run. The work of the Student Council is not only for the present year, but their work will run into the years to come.
