STUDENT COUNCIL Eager to do its bit was the Student Council at the outbreak of war. Plans for Red Cross work, a boys ' Fire Brigade, Explorer Scout Unit, a First Aid Corps, and a Canteen Corps were made immediately. Noon Victory Dances were also organized, selling defense stamps as admission. Although the cancelling of the Vodvil took away the largest single source of revenue, by careful planning most student activities were carried on, and the Council was able to buy an $800 defense bond as its contribution to our war activity. Our Student Council is to be congratulated on its successful year. 14

WILLIAMSON Treasurer Student Council Representative Yell Leader THE SENIOR CLASS The present Seniors became official members of the student body on Scrub Day, September 9, 1938. Dressed as children, and with faces covered with lipstick, they entertained the school with stunts demanded by the Seniors. As a climax to that memorable day the class put on an assembly for the student body, consisting of its own student talent. The new football bleachers were finished when the class came back in ' 39 as Sopho¬ mores. One could then enjoy a football game with relative comfort, even under adverse weather conditions. The Junior year was much the same as the other two years but as Juniors the class began to realize that they would soon be leaving school. A gala event of that year for the Junior Class was the annual Junior-Senior Prom, when the gym was transformed into a veritable fairlyland, using Fantasia as its theme. The ambition of the class was fulfilled when on the day of the song and yell contest in October, 1941 it was declared the winner. Finally on a sunny May morning the Seniors slipped out to spend a day of swimming, hiking, eating, and games at Linda Vista Park. Then as a climax of a year packed with work and fun came the Senior Play, the Senior Breakfast, and the Senior Ball, in all-too- rapid succession. On the Sunday afternoon of June 7 the Senior Class of 1942 bade farewell to the school where they had studied and played throughout their four years of learning. 15
