TO DISTRICT CONFERENCE I One of the most anticipated and exciting items on the busy Student Council calender are the District and State conventions that are held every year. Waukegan Township has always been well represented at these con- ferences, in fact this past year Waukegans council was fortunate enough to have Pat BELOW: Awaiting transportation to the District Convention are: Patty Alex, Lawanna Connel. Elizabeth Gilbert, Bob Torn- quist. Bill Holmquist and Louis McCreight. 99 Alex elected as one of the state officers of the lllinois Association of Student Councils. 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. The council feels it has even more to brag about in that it has another officer, Dean Dalton, at the meeting of the Northern District last fall he was elected treasurer of that body lor the school year l939-40. 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. To Wind up a feverish year of Work and accomplishments, the Council had a last spree. lt was a picnic and was planned by the entertainment chairman, Lawana Connell.

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.
