Few people take time to consider the im- portance of our school board, but it is a very hard-working group which deserves a great deal of credit. Citizens of West View and Ross Township elect the members of the board for a term of six years. The fine iob done by these men and women is the result of many hours spent in solving the school problems of a rapidly progressing community. They held at least one meeting a month in the high school library. Mr. L. C. Morehouse was the capable presi- dent, and Mr. Edward Hunter faithfully ful- filled the duties of vice-president. Secretary for the year was Mr. Harry G. Canning, and Mrs. Esther S. Hopf served as associate secretary. Along with the usual problems of regulating school taxes and expenditures, hiring per- sonnel and maintenance workers, the problem of the overcrowded conditions of the school has become a maior issue. The board plans to build a new high school on the Heim Farm, a six room elementary building in the Gass Road area, and a three room addition to the Evergreen School. These buildings are part of a long range building plan that will relieve present conditions and allow for future growth. Although we fail to realize the time and effort these citizens put forth in solving the problems of the North Hills Joint School Dis- trict, we, the students of West View High School, wish to express our sincere apprecia- tion for every opportunity which the Board of Education has provided for us.

One of the basic factors which determines whether a school can succeed is a democratic student council which satisfies the needs of the student body. Our Student Council, composed of one representative from each homeroom and the cabinet officers who were elected in the spring of 'l954, worked diligently this year fulfilling the desires and wants of the stu- dents. The students were able to express their likes, dislikes, and feelings toward governing the school through the Student Council, and the Council, in turn, kept in touch with the students through Student Council minutes, dis- tributed after each meeting. Besides governing the student body, the Council planned assem- blies, developed school spirit, and worked 15 QQ ' s STUDENT COUNCIL chief officers '2 ,4.2EIZ with the faculty. The money-making project of Student Coun- cil was the magazine campaign. With the money earned from this campaign, council carried out its various proiects. The remaining money was spent on educational and enter- taining assemblies. The many accomplishments of the Council were achieved only by the efficient work of the cabinet and representatives, and by the co-operation of all the students. Because of their outstanding work, Student Council received high esteem and respect from the student body and well deserves our thanks.
