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.

Guides The Iunior School Guides, sponsored by Mr. Brucker, were essential in keeping order in the Iunior School during the first and second lunch periods. They performed an invaluable service to the school throughout the entire year. Each boy's service was entirely voluntary, and it was necessary for him to give up his fourth hour study hall in order to be a guide. Their most important duty was keeping the students out of restricted areas so that classes in session would not be disturbed. This was ordinarily done through persuasion and under- standing, and only persistent violators were sent to the Guidance Council. These guides deserved the respect of all their classmates and of the entire Senior School. Their duties have been very well accepted and have been fulfilled efficiently.

Monitors The Iunior School Monitors, sponsored by Miss Brantley, had authority in the cafeteria during the first and second lunch periods. There they maintained order by performing such du- ties as preventing the students from running, from cutting in line, and from buying food for others. The boys also kept the cafeteria orderly and clean for the remaining lunch period. Those who participated in this system were chosen by Miss Brantley through the recom- inendations cf teachers in the junior school. The honor and responsibility connected with their duties were realized by all the monitors. Through a system such as this, junior school students learned to discipline themselves, to respect the advice and authority of classmates, and to exercise a regard fcr their school and its property.
