Sitiiileiit (kHiiicii The Student Council for the school year 1935-1936 has installed the officers elected for next year, thus bringing to a close another successful year in which the Council has again proved its worth and ability as the mainstay of the Student Body. This year’s Student Council constitutes the fifth in line since its introduction as a governing board of the Washington Union High School Student Body. The weekly Monday morning meetings of the Council were all held with the purpose of discussing, as well as overcoming, the many problems of the school and also keeping the students’ life from becoming dull by improving the social activities. The ‘‘seven-in-one” value which the students receive from their Associated Students cards is largely due to the efforts of the hard working Student Council. The Student Body Card admits its holder to all games and dual meets held under the auspices of the Student Body in home territory, to two Student Body dances, to the Student Body play, and entitles the holder to a subscription to the ‘‘Hatchet” and fifty cents in credit toward the purchase of the ‘‘Washingtonian.” The financial question is always one of the weighty problems of any organiza¬ tion, and to the lot of the Student Council falls the task of balancing the student budget. The Council allots to each organization the amount needed for the activities planned for the year. The Council has also assisted the athletes through the purchase of athletic equipment and the awarding of block letters to the members of teams. The Student Body of Washington Union High School appreciates the work done by their officers and by Mr. Rathbone whose advice had much to do with the successful accomplishment of the year’s work.
