Student Council 1st row—William Heller, Donna Cook, Mr. Schmitz, Robert Fouchard (president), Merlin Manley, John Whalen 2nd row—Robert Wing, Kathryn Butler, Josephine Mahoney, Frederick Dubach, William Karolous, Kathryn Saunders 3rd row—Richard Manley, Jerry Appell, Mary Hayes, Alvin Gates, James Fleharty The Student Council completed its second successful year of operation dur- ing the 1951-52 school year. The Council once more sponsored such annual ac- tivities as the March of Dimes Collection, a complete set of assembly programs, dances after basketball games, a Christmas party, movies, a spring picnic and, last but not least, the big Homecoming program. Money for these activities was obtained by such stunts as a cord party, Homecoming dance and a paper collec- tion. A group of ten students went to Chicago to the annual Student Council con- vention, where they profited much by association with student council members from other parts of the state. The Council tried to enlist the interest of the student body and to demonstrate the working of the democratic system among them by holding two meetings in the presence of all high school students. This was an effective way of making the students see that the council functions and the council’s problems are the problems of all the students. By this means and by the adoption of a con- stitution the council established itself more firmly as a working part of the school organization. 19
