Administrative Council The Administrative Council is an official school organization com- posed of five students and five faculty members. They meet to discuss and take action upon general administrative problems and matters of school policy. Six of the ten members are automatically selected because of position. They are: Mr. Mitchell, principal; Mr. Cox, vice-principal; Mr. Bratton, dean of Boys; Mrs. Frodsham, registrar; Mrs. Rodman, director of student body activities; Billy Niepoth, student body pres- ident. These six invite four other students to join the group—one ad- ditional senior, Bill Mickelson; two juniors, Alta Siebe and Delbert Blackketter; one sophomore, Beverly Ricketts. Regular meetings are held every Wednesday morning before school, and special meetings at other times when it is necessary to complete the business before the group. Some of the problems which are taken up by the Council are definitely settled there. Major problems are dis- cussed and then a recommendation is made which is referred to the fac- ulty as a whole, or to the student body. The work of the Administrative Council this year has been concerned with discussion and action to improve attendance and tardiness records; to improve conduct in assemblies; to enforce and study ineligibility rules; to handle cases referred from Student Court; to award service certificates to pupils for outstanding service to the school, and to make other awards. The Administrative Council is not a closed corporation, for anyone having a matter which he would like to bring before the Council is en- couraged to schedule a time for such presentation. Its purpose is to co- operatively discuss problems and matters of policy affecting the school.

Mrs. Rodman is the adviser. Members have discussed all the problems that any one member, or any person who wished to come in, brought up. They approve awards and pass bills under $25. The attendance was not too good at first, but it steadily improved. Student Control Student Control is a group of selected students from various grades that assists the student body officers in administering school activities. Student Control also has the responsibility of enforcing the various rules and regulations adopted by the Administrative Council. Student Control meets period 6 every Monday in Room 1.
