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.

Members of Girls' Council demonstrate their dramatic ability To give service for the betterment of the school cmd com- munity, to develop a sense of friendship and unity among all girls, to inspire finer ideals of individual responsibility and service, to contribute to school spirit by inspiring thoughtfulness, loyalty, and honor in the girls of the student body . . . this is the purpose of the Wilson Girls' Club. Living up to this purpose were the members of the six Girls' Club committees: Decoration, Friendship, Program, Publicity, Service, and Social. Membership in one of these commit- tees was available to each interested girl in the student body. The activities, proiects and responsibilities were divided among these committees which worked as a unit under the guidance of Girls' Council. s Many worthwhile proiects were sponsored by the Girls' Club committees this year. Among these were getting food for the welfare of indigent families at Thanksgiving and Christmas, sending get-well cards to ill students and teachers, giving birthday corsages to faculty members, and making monthly favors for teachers' desks. A new idea adopted was having women from various old folks homes in the community act as grandmothers to each committee. To finance these proiects it was necessary for Girls' Club to hold money-raising activities. Monthly bake sales, a candy-cane sale, Christmas corsage sales, and Thanksgiving Day Game program sales were among these activities. Money raised by these and other proiects was used for the benefit of the school and student body. Another important feature of Girls' Club's activity was the sponsoring of several fun and social proiects. Some of these were the Valentine Tolo, the MotherfDaughter Tea, and the Cotton Carnival, which was held in April and marked the first day on which the girls of the student body blossomed forth in cottons. Girls' Club had a very successful year, climaxed by the elec- tion of next year's officers. Many traditions were established which will benefit girls at Wilson in years to- come.
