Vruwink Student Council It was the talk of the school. What would a Student Council mean? Many recalled past failures of such an organization. Some hopefully dreamed of a four hour school day. Still others saw a means of bringing about a closer partnership between the faculty and the student body, a means by which the problems and difficulties of each might be more fully appreciated and cleared with a greater measure of understanding. By the early part of November, the representatives had been chosen by their respective classmates through secret ballot. The Council President was elected by the entire student body. The first few weeks were the hardest. There were many unexpected crises to be faced with firm decision. However, with the aid of Mr. Qualley, their advisor, and others of the faculty they succeeded. Soon a constitution was drawn up to be ratified by the classes. Not only the problems of the students but those of the faculty are the problems of the Student Council. It has helped to educate all in the rights, the priviliges, and the duties of people having a democratic government. We here in school are learning to recognize the basic elements in the cornerstone of democracy. President ...........Donald Cassell Vice President.............Pat Mau Secretary-Treasurer.

Senior Band Music consists of any combination of sounds which are pleasing to the ear; but in a stricter sense of the word, music is an art. It reveals a student's desire to bring out his innermost feeling through the manipulation of his instrument. Mr. Beers, our band director has spent many a patient hour teaching note reading, drilling the band in scale work, and directing the music the band plays. In the past year, because of the co- operation between the band director and the band members, our band has shown marked improvement. We wish to express our appreciation to Mr. Beers for his help and guidance. The band presented their first concert of the school year for the October P. T. A. meeting. During November, another concert was given; and on December 19, 1946, the band took part in the Christmas Program.
