Every month during the school year the Who's Who, our school paper, was published. Students in Miss Tbrongo's classes and any others who cared to, contributed articles of interest for the paper. Gary Armstrong and Sue Stoudinger headed the Year Book Staff. They were ably assisted by a large staff of forty four pupils representing the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. SCIENCE CLASS VISITS MUSEUM IN CHICAGO. One of the highlights of the year for the science classes was the visit to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. The class, together with Mr. McKay, had planned the trip about two months previous to the time we went. we had selected officers, voted on the places to be visited and had made arrangements before we went on the trip. At hgl5 a.m. the members of our class assembled at the bus station and we began the journey to Chicago. There was not much activity on the bus as we were not thoroughly awake. When we arrived at the museum we first visited the Health Department. There were many large replicas of bod organs. An especially interesting one, was a heart which you could walk through and see various chambers. Next we pro- ceeded on a guided tour of a German submarine, which had been captured by the U. S. The tour included a film showing the actual capturing of the submarine. At noon we all gladly Continued on Page Eh 22

Highlights of the Year fContinuecD Each group had a chaperone and six students. Various offices were visited such as the Secreta1y'of State where they saw the State Seal affixed to an official document. They learned about the Supreme Court from the Court Crier and saw the relics of years ago in the Capitol Museum. At about one o'clock they trooped out on the front steps facing toward town and had pictures taken by the Capitol photographer. Then they get back into the busses and went home after a very nice trip: Previous to the group trip, the pupils who had been ' chosen to act as Capitol Guides went to Lansing on March 30, with Miss Bordner, to learn the locations and information about the House, Senate, Supreme Court and the various state offices. ' STUDENT COUNCIL. Every year W. K. has a student council made up of officers elected by all of the students and representatives from each homeroom. Students wishing to run for one of the council offices were required to have a petition with at least fifty signatures of students on it. Then campaigning started. Posters were put up and election tags were given out. Just before voting an assembly was held and the candidates gave skits and made speeches. Every student in W. K. voted for his or her choice. This year Gordon Schim el was elected president of the student council. The other officers elected were Clark Nulf, vice president, Glenna Stout, secretary, Mike Martin, treas- urerg and Mike Penny, parliamentarian. This year the council has been active in many activities. One of the first was the opening of the school store which sold candy, doughnuts, pencils, and pennants to the students. With the profits they received from the sales they bought things for the school. ' In September a group of council members, two from each junior high and senior high school, met at Willard Library. They planned a city-wide Hallowe'en, which included parties and dances. These activities were planned to help keep the student off the streets. At Christmas the Council sponsored a food and.clothing Continued on Page 22
