'The Clilcamcnall Slfatem THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is a representative di- vision of the student government in Wilkins- burg High School. This organization is select- ed by the pupils and its activities cover all mat- ters which are of interest to the school. This year has been an unusually busy one for the Student Council. It has provided a new fire drill system and placed signs indicating exits. Under its sponsorship several tea dances were held for the student body in the boys' gym after school. At Christmas time the mem- bers decorated a tree in the hall of the first floor, and afterwards they distributed poin- settia plants, a part of the decorations, to ill pupils. The task of recording the names of all former Wilkinsburg High School students in the service of their country was started. In their honor a huge plaque will be erected. The general activities of the Student Council are the electing of the cheer leaders, supervis- ing elections of class officers, maintaining a lost and found department, and supporting and encouraging all worthy school activities and organizations. The Council has twenty-one members- twelve seniors, six juniors, and three sopho- morcs. This year's officers are Jack Pinky Miller, president, and his able assistants Susan Harwig, vice president, and Dorothy Miller, secretary. The faculty sponsor is Miss Helen Anderson, who aids them in making decisions that support the good name of the school and promote its spirit. STUDENT COUNCIL-Bottom Row, left to right: M.

Thc' Activity Board in Action--Mr. Ege, Mr. Beck, Miss McQuiston, Mr. Yetter, Mr. Chute, M. L. Myers, B. Conrad, L. Burton, D. McCauley, R. Coler, absent, Miss jane Anderson. THE ACTIVITY BOARD Every time the Activity Board meets, one can be certain there is a great deal of business on hand, for the duties and responsibilities of this group are numerous and varied. Perhaps there are bills to pay, a speaker for chapel to be discussed or an election of business manager for one of our many productions. The activi- ties of this board are many. They elect the editors of the two school publications, the Annual and Hi Waysg and they also elect the managers for the musical productions and dra- matic presentations. They buy the first high school honor pins each year and pay the bills for all student and school activities. Planning speakers or movies for our chapel program is one of the most interesting things they do. All money made in school productions is turned in to the Activity Board and with this money such expenditures as cleaning and repairing the choir robes are met. The Activity Board is composed of five students, four teachers and the principal. The students are elected each year as vacancies appear. Two seniors must be on the Board at all times, but all classes are eligible for admit- tance. The Activity Board is the oldest organ- ization in the school and we are justly proud of its record. To be elected to this body is an honor for any student to receive. MEMBERS Students Lois Burton Rod Coler Bob Conrad Doris McCauley Mary Lou Myers FZlCL1lty Miss Jane Anderson Mr. Chas. Beck Mr. E.
