i Student Guidance Council The Student Guidance Council has been in existence since 1948. These past eight years have proved successful in fulfilling the coun- ci1's purpose of helping the individual who breaks the rules of the school to realize his mistakes and eventually to become a better citizen of the school. George Thorpe, the president of the student body, and Bruce Kenamcre, president of the senior school, were the advisers to the 1955- 1956 council composed of: three seniors, Buzz Ferry, Miriam Miller, Brad Porter: one junior, Wally Gibbs: one sophomore, Bob Charowy and one freshman, Sarah Schilling. The members were elected by their respective classes. A student violating a school law such as running in the hall, cutting in the lunch line, or being in a restricted area is brought before the council. There the council discusses the offense with the student. No punishment is given the offender, but instead the council at- tempts to show him why his conduct is not in the best interests of the student body. Did you do it?

At their meetings they discussed and solved many school problems, planned the work ot various committees, and promoted projects to encourage school spirit. Hello Day, Football Week, Magazine Sales Campaign, Basketball-W'restling Week, the school assemblies, Color Day, the Dance Car- nival, displays, Lost and Found, and Spring Sports Day are all sponsored by the Student Council. This year the Pep Rally was presented in an entirely different manner. The rally itself was held at Memorial Stadium. First speeches were given, and then the students formed a torch- light parade to the high school tor the bonfire. The purpose of this outdoor rally was to en- courage true school spirit and to allow more people to join in the fun. The student governments from all St. Louis County high schools assemble monthly to dis- cuss and work out various common problems. ln December Webster was host to this County Council.
