W The Student Council formed in l94O has become one of William Chrisman's most ac- tive organizations. Each year it has operated with greater finesse and has lead the Chris- man bear on to greater achievements. The Student Council was founded in order to pro- mote closer relationship between the stu- dents and the faculty, to provide opportuni- ties for the students to become good citizens and leaders to serve as an advisory commit- tee to the students, and to improve school conditions by increasing school spirit and scholarship. The sponsors are Miss Stewart, Mrs. ,Williams, -Mr. Lefever, Miss MacDon- ald, Miss Singleton, and Mrs. Duggin. Dur- ing this past year, one of the outstanding ac- complishments of the Student Council has been the inauguration of a point system whereby a student's honor standing is deter- mined and awards are presented at the an- nual Honor Assembly. The Council has con- tributed to the war effort wholeheartedly by urging the students to buy war stamps so that a jeep might be purchased for the boys in service and by supervising an all-school scrap drive which met with much success. The student mixers, which were introduced so that the students 'could become better ac- quainted with one another, are sponsored by the social activities committee of the coun- cil. A revision, was made of the Student Council Constitution so that it might serve the students to a larger extent. Several pro- jects started the year before have been corn- pletedp these include the designing and pur- chasing of a school flag and installing of a victrola. , OFFICERS I Howard Bevins Lora Weatherford Robert Oliver l Mona Allen Student Council Session, First Semester
