LAUNCH CLEANUP DRIVE - An added emphasis on cleanliness of corridors, rooms, and school surroundings early in May could be traced directly to the Student Council clean-up campaign. The whole city held a Clean-up Drive at the same time, and Bill l-lolmquist represented the Stu- dent Council in taking charge of the schools part. A Man-on-the-Street assembly pro- gram, sponsored by Courtesy, spelled C-O-U-R-T-E-S-Y, opened the Student Coun- cils Courtesy Campaign. Bob Tornquist Was the genial master of ceremonies. At the Victory Hop, after the Morton bas- ketball game, there was an unusually large crowd . . . probably a result of another pro- ject, the Student Council dancing class. This was one of the outstanding achievements of the year in the field of new projects. lt was organized by a group of music-minded coun- cil members under the leadership of chair- man Lawana Connell. lt was for the benefit of those freshmen who Wanted to learn to dance. With the help of a group of fifteen upper classmen and accordion-music furn- ished by Martha Nierni and Dora Mears, the dancing class made great progress. Esther Rostker, assembly chairman, an- nounced what proved to be one of the most popular assembly programs of the school year, Mr. lackson and his Seeing-Eye dog, Crissy. Mr. lackson explained how a Seeing- Eye dog is trained and the steps in training a blind person to use a dog. Crissy then demonstrated some of her training: her mas- ter attempted to Walk off the stage, but Crissy stalvvartly stood in front of him.

Elizabeth Gilbert wields president's gavel with cr smile. YOUR classes have proper passes. Then there are those occasional dreaded crimson tags on the lockers, it is mute evidence that a Student Council hall monitor has been on the job. The Student Council, under the direction of Miss Marjorie Witham and Mr. Robert Nickel, faculty sponsors, is the governing body of the high school. Elizabeth Gilbert, president, Ann Link, secretary, Betty Meekins, vice-presidentg and Dean Dalton, treasurer, were this years officers. ln charge of one of the most important activities of the organiza- tion, the hall monitorial system, was Patty Alex. To provide the students with more and better assembly programs, the Student Coune cil sponsored its annual fall paper campaign early in the year. The proceeds from the sale of thousands of pounds of paper was thus utilized for the benefit of the entire school. A spring paper campaign, something different at W.T.l-IS., was underway in May. This campaign was held in connection with the city Clean-up Drive. Dean Dalton, successful chairman of the fall campaign, again Was in charge.

Patty was elected at the State Convention in Peoria last year, and took over the quill and ink bottle for the State Student Body in April of 1939.

This years State Convention of the LA.- SC. was held at Carbondale, illinois-way down in the southern part of the state. Wau- kegan's representatives were Elizabeth Gil- bert, local president, Patty Alex, Betty Meek- ins, Nancy Doolittle, and Bob lohn.
