THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Wells River High School Student Council held its first meeting January 18th at which the officers were elected and a constitution and by-laws adopted. Frederick George was elected president, George Downing vice-president and Lucille Ilesseltine, secretary. The council consists of nine members: a representative from each class in high school, on from the junior high school, three from the entire student body and one faculty member. The faculty member changes each month giving each of the teachers a turn. The seniors’ representative is Frederick George, the juniors’ George Downing, the sophomores’ Eugene Laturnau, the freshmens’ Sheldon Ilauson, the junior high schools’ Joyce Cyr, and the three from the student body are Lucille Ilesseltine, Marjorie George and Elinor Rowden. The council holds its meetings on Friday at one o’clock. V isitors are welcome, may take part in the meeting, but have no vote. The purpose of the council is to put more of the responsi- bility of the school onto the students and give them a chance at self-government.
