Student C ozmcil This group is perhaps the most active organization in the school. The Student Council was established six years ago to interest students in school government and to promote a better understanding among students, faculty, and administration. It also sponsors dances, banquets, magazines sales, and drives. Any matter concerning a student is discussed and settled at council meetings. Many improvements in the form of student govern- ment have been made since the council was first organized. This year we became affiliated with the National Association of Student Councils from which we derived help and suggestions as well as ideas from other schools. The Charter which was obtained is placed in the lower hall. Pins are being worn here for the first time. Three members, Marcia Moore, Sue Eaton, Alan VVilliams, and faculty advisor, Mrs. Gra- ham, were sent to Ann Arbor on November 7th and Sth to a meeting of the officers of Student Councils from all over Michigan. They participated in discussion groups which brought out problems and proved suggestions from other Student Councils. The group obtained great value from the conference and came home with the determination to make many improvements. Members of this council are a boy and girl representative, who are elected from each class at the class elections in the fall, the junior and senior vice-presidents, and a faculty advisor repre- senting each class. Standing: Katherine Nobis, William Nobis, Lois Henning, Miss Sherrick, Mr. Pocius, Mrs. Graham, Mr. Naldrett, Mr. Baker. Seated: Bob Perkins, Pat Rasdale, Sue Eaton, Marcia Moore, Fred Pasch, Alan Williams, Margaret Houser. 45
