Students armed with shovels, rakes, and wheelbarrows set out to clear the school grounds of rocks and other debris. While some students raked, others washed windows. Two large holes were dug for trees, and thousands of bulbs were planted. In spite of the pouring rain, students were out working in their ieans, rain hats, and slickers to get the schoolgrounds in order for the Dedication. Because the students were so willing to work, Student Council was proud of the success of Wilson's first Campus Day.

Students clear the grounds of debris on Campus Day. LINDA HOFTO MR. JACK BEER Treasur Advis - Serving as Wilson's first governing body, Student Council devoted much of its time to organizing activities and pro- iects for the student body. Student Council was composed of the officers who had been elected before the beginning of the school year. These officers were as follows: four student body officers - president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, sophomore, iunior, and senior class officers, songleaders, cheerleaders, and Girls' Club president. Mem- bers received twb elective credits toward graduation for their year's work. The first of council's activities was the Queen's Crown game and dance, the first in Tacoma's history. With student body funds, council purchased a crown and scepter, which were awarded to Wilson at the game because Wilson students had a higher activity ticket purchase percentage than Stadium. One of Student Council's most important iobs was delegating days for proiects so that no more than one proiect was on the same day. All posters hung at school were first passed through Student Council's poster committee. The sale of Woodrow Wilson bookcovers was Student Council's most important money-raising proiect. They also supervised the sale of Student-Faculty Basketball Game tickets. Of a more serious nature was the composition of Wilson's constitution. Student Council members studied the United States Constitution and various high school constitutions, then compiled a constitution for Wilson with the help of roll room representatives. At the end of the year, Student Council held elections for next year's officers according to the new constitution. Bulbs are planted in circular gardens The planted bulbs bloom.
