As the beams to cz house, as the bones to the microcosm of man, so is order to all things. Omnipotent from the student's point of view, nothing more or less than human from a closer vantage point. The administration has the im- mense job of turning a mass of 1400 teenagers into a tidy group of meaningful identities. The creation by a joint effort of cajoling, asking Cpolitelyl, restrain- ing, demanding, and sitting back and letting him do it himself, of a significant life is no easy job. Few who receive these benefits realize their importance in finished personalities. Many influences Robert Southey must unite to produce one whole adult individual. Novice efficiency, the office helpers, make life easier for the administration. How many mes- sages per annum does one office aide deliver? Conservative esti- mate: 3,458,391. Where are those little yellow slips? The clerks pound out student lives on faithful typewriters. IQ added to personal records and test scores plus yearly health records equals one complete paper person. They know us better than we do. We were just displaying a little CLERKS: Standing, Hilma Evans and Betty Wagner. Seated, Ruth Simons.

Q What government is the best? That which teaches as to govern ourselves. We, the students of Whetstone High School, in order to have a Christmas project, direct hall traffic, promote the homecoming dance, propagate a booster drive, and to establish communication be- tween the administration and stu- dent body, do ordain and establish the student council. All right, let's have a little quiet here. Crap, rap? D0 we have any suggestions for a Christmas project? How about the Franklin County Home, for the Aged? We could take brownies, sing carols and maybe talk Mr. Susi into taking the brass band. I'll bring a tie. Okay, and somebody bring soap or perfume. Maybe someone could bring some jewelry. That's great! I know the people there are lonely and that would be a great project. Johann Wolfgang Van Goethe . . '. and those are the chairmen and committees for Homecoming. Any questions? You'll have to get started right away because we don't have much time. What do you mean you lost all ten tickets to the dance? Do you realize how much those tickets are Worth? A solution to between-period chaos: The hall traffic committee has decided on a new system. Everyone to the right. Well, most of the between-period chaos. Listen, we've got to really get these kids out for the Booster drive. We'll have a dance and lots 'of food afterwards, that should help. - That's a good idea, ask the administration. A good Student Council deals not' only with the tangibles of projects. Its basic Worth is judged in the intangibles of human rela- tions and school communications.
