The Senior High Council Adopts a Belgian Orphan HE Senior High Student Council is an organization formed to develop democratic gov- ernment in Westwood High School and to be of service in any way possible to the school and community. The membership consists of the four officers and the presidents and representatives from each Senior High Homeroom. The council meets with Mr. Warren every Monday during 4-B periods to discuss and suggest regulations for the school. lt is the special work of the Council to know consider the wishes and suggestions of the students, to act upon them, and then to rf the decisions to the student body. The building of morale and school spirit is also Ck the most important duties of the Student Council. This year, just as last, a council court was formed to enforce school regulations. The students who chronically disobey the rules are brought before the court by the monitors and are given punishments in accordance with the degree of their misdemeanor. The council activities were many this year. A study hall was provided to be used noontimes, Thursday dancing was conducted, a l-lallowe'en Dance called the Slop Hop was given, and an assembly was held in honor of Mr. Muschell upon his return from the service. All these activities are important, but the one most worthwhile was the Council's adopting a war orphan, an eight-year old Belgian girl whose name is Jeannine Meerhout. ln order to raise money for the adoption, which amounts to Sl SO per year, the Council sponsored a movie benefit. Full information on the girl is received, her picture is sent, and her progress is reported from time to time.'
