Our school government is reall STUDENT CGUNCIL After having been installed last year as a regular part of our school life, the Student Council continued this year with unlimited success. As a feature in other high schools, it was installed in VVest View High School and has already made a decided hit with many of the students. Sub-committees of the Student Council, appointed hy the president, who this year happens to he Ilarold Slack, work in collaboration with the ofhce on such matters as the school calendar, home room suggestions, and the activities schedule. The Student Council itself has complete control over home rooms, and just recently it inaugurated an In- vestigation Cornmittee. Much of the success achieved by the Student Council may be attributed to the ahle sponsorship of Mr. Metzger, Miss Allen, for the first semester and Mr. Herman for the second semester.

iforced by these representatives in . W f A HALL PATROL Under the direct supervision of Student Council, the Hall Patrol has steadily pro- gressed during the hrst year of its revision. Schedule changes, increase in the number of steps, additional locker space, and a more elaborate setup all the way around have increased the duties and worries of Hall Patrolmen. Able sponsorship of Miss Vlfallitseh and Mr. Puchta, however, have helped tremendously in the Widespread success of this important undertaking. Grievances and complaints were frequently received from teachers and students alike, but much of the disturbance was soon eliminated by the hard, diligent work of the squad and sponsors together.
