Wilson's war effort followed the major lines sent out by the nation. Keeping briskly abreast of the nation's war efforts, the Wilson.Board, in reality the student mediation board, voted the purchase of S1000 Defense Savings Bond and ,550 in Stamps. As the stamps were sold to the students, new ones were purchased, a revolving fund of ,550 being kept for this purpose. The Board also acted in the capacity of an arbitrator between the student body and administration and attempted solutions for the many student body problems that arose. Governors also were an important factor in deciding gold and jeweled W points and budgeting. f COUNCIL-Representing the opinions of hundreds of Wilson citizens, the Student Council, com- posed of delegates from every activity of campus life has gone forth this year to adapt higher and more far-reaching measures for Wilson. In sessions the council formulated Fiesta plans, assisted in air raid organization, and made general preparations for Homecoming Day. This group is charged with the duty of allotting budget funds for the forth-coming year. What with heading general plans for the biggest school affairs, checking on the finances of Wilson, and formulating the program of every major school issue, this group has rightfully earned the title of school leaders, organizers, statesmen.
