This term there were three new members installed on the board : Harry Hollow ay. Betty Kleinegger and Don Hosf ord. Economy was practiced this year by abolishing the salaried position of treasurer, whose duties were taken over by Miss Jacobson, the manager of the cafeteria. The board has also dispensed with the girls at the candy counter, ami the management of that is given to Miss Jacobson also. As an advertising scheme to guarantee the excellence of the cafeteria, a Thanksgiving dinner was featured just before the holiday. To stimulate interest in this campaign letters were sent to each of the outstanding organ- izations at Washington requesting that they give their whole support to the school cafeteria. In order to improve conditions in the cafeteria various members of the faculty were interviewed with the object of getting their observations and advice toward improvement. Many of the suggestions offered by these faculty members proved worthwhile and were carried out by the hoard. All complaints were investigated this year and if the claim proved to be of some nature that could be corrected the board immediately took steps to see that there would be no further cause for fault. The close of this term will bring the loss of two members: Sherman Hadlev. the chairman of the Board, and Jane Macmillan, the secretary. [19]

Sec ' y Eleanor Helmer 1 HE STUDENT COUNCIL, which was organized in 1925 at the instigation of Miss Hilda Lancefield, has devoted itself to the prevention of hook-steal- ing, which at the heginning amounted to a loss of over one hundred volumes a year. During the last few searches only a few stolen hooks have heen dis- covered. The credit for this work ami the improvement in conditions is entirely due to the work of the Student Council. The organization is composed of presidents of all the major organiza- tions of Washington high school, and the editors of the Lens and Washing- Ionian. In this manner, the influence of the Student Council is extended throughout the school. Several members are elected from the student hody at large, so the students may have a choice in their representatives upon the staff. Under the leadership of Harry Adams, the president, the Student Coun- cil has sponsored several surveys of the lockers and rooms. Appreciation is expressed 1 , by the Student Council, to the teachers and to Miss Lancefield for her inspiring support of their work this term. I 1 ii I

1HE AVERAGE layman of the pres- ent generation seldom realizes how conspicuous elass distinction is l its absence in America. It would he il- logical were it otherwise, however, for the United States constitution was huilt on that very foundation, the equality of all men. We should be very proud of the fact that money and hereditary factors play a minor part in the selection of our companions, and in our general activity with society.
