STUDENT COUnCIL Last year the Student Council was organized to give students the opportunity to take an active part in self-government and to learn the principles of living and working in a democracy. A constitution was drawn up which enabled the Council to work effectively. This year the Council again organized by electing officers, who were chosen from the junior and senior classes, and three representatives from each class. Working with its advisers, the Council presented new ideas and worked out old ones for the improvement of the school. Through its influence, a fairer and better method of grading citizenship was introduced. Throughout the year our self-governing body rendered solutions and decisions on various other problems which occurred. Because of the harmony created between the faculty and student body, the Student Council proved to be successful in its second year organization.

Under the direction of Mrs. Hetland and the officers, the Pep Club has completed another year that has proved to be successful. New members were admitted to the club, which brought the membership to seventy-three students. To be admitted, they were given a written test which consisted of two songs and three yells. The student body re-elected Joyce Powers, Pat Powers, and Carole Anderson as cheerleaders, and elected Reuben Oldenberg to serve with this group in leading the songs and yells throughout the year. The fourth annual Homecoming on January 26 highlighted the year's activities. After a basketball game with Trempealeau, a dance was held during which last year's royalty, Jean Holter and James Mau, crowned Queen Mimi Eckert and her king. President . .

UBfiflfiy CLUB In the fall of 1950 fifteen students organized to form the Library Club. This included six girls who were awarded posts last spring after serving a probationery work period of one year. This year twelve girls have tried for positions, and of this group approximately six will be accepted. Competition is keen and prospective members mustprove themselves able to maintain scholastic and club standards before they are admitted. A point system was inaugurated whereby girls earned a specified number of points to earn their awards. In January a pinning ceremony for the graduating seniors made its initial appearance. This gave them the opportunity to wear their higher awards the semester before graduation. By a popular vote maroon and white were chosen to represent the club s colors, and the carnation was selected as its flower. Social activities for the year included a picnic in the fall and spring, a record party in October, and a pot-luck supper in January. The librarians also journeyed to La Crosse to see several TC plays. Head Librarian ....
