STUDENT CCDLJNCII. FIRST ROW'-ll . Jmlrrxorl, S. f:llIIlf10t10Ilil'0-, F. fUCFrrr1111, R. Lipper! SECOND ROW-H. fWcl e'1'l'm1, J. Cooper, N. Porter, Alf. Bush, F. Osihulthoff. ' Several years ago it was decided to include the students in the governing of the school. In order to accomplish this a Student Council was established with representatives from each of the high. school graides. There is one representative for each of the four lower grades, two for the juniors, and three seniors. These representatives are elected for a term ot' one year by their respective grades. This year more than ever the Student Council has become a vital organization in the school setup. lt has taken an active part in all matters of importance and has accomplished a great deal. To begin with, the Student Council, by setting up a new group of rules for Honor Study Hall, has made it a real Honor Study Hall. Then too, the Student Council has presented numerous assemblies including the four guar- anteed to the owners of Activity Books. In November, the Council presented an illustrated lecture, His- torical Virginiaf' by the popular Mr. Beemis. This speaker had appeared here at school the previous year and was brought back by popular demand. In December the Student Council really put on a big show. In a program designed for the parents as well as the students, the Council presented a talk by Mr. Gregor Ziemer, internationally known commentator and author of the best-seller, Education for Death, from which the movie, Hitler's Children, was inafc. Mr. Zieiner spoke on the evening of December 16th, the topic The Crusade Which, Began in 1941. Mr. Ziemer's appearance at Wyoming High School was one of the most important events of the school year. One month later, on the 16th of January, the Council tried something new and different: a square dance. It was a big success. Realizing that no one knew about this revived type of dance that was sweeping the country, they hired a professional square dancer to come out and teach the students. The result was fun for everyone, both young and old. Inciclentally, the price of admission was a twenty-tive cent War Stamp which helped the war effort. In February the Council gave two programs. The tlrst was the presentation of the film masterpiece, Abe Lincoln in Illinois, starring Raymond Massey as Lincoln. The program was presented in connection with Lincoln's birthday. Then, later in the month, the Student Council tried another novel idea: that of a movie-dance. This was another big success. The movie was Alfred Hitchcock's Suspicion with the academy award winner, Joan Fontaine, and popular Cary Grant. This was one of the most exciting pictures ever made and did the students love it. The dance followed after the showing of the picture. The Student Council program for March was a sports one which featured a talk by one of the most popular sports announcers in the nation, Roger Baker. His talk was enjoyed by everyone. Another big program which the Student Council undertook, this time in conjunction with the Junior Red Cross, was the Buy a Jeep campaign. At this writing the campaign is well underway, and every- thing is going great. The idea is to raise enough money through the sale of war bonds and stamps to buy two jeeps for the United States Army. This requires a great deal of buying, but the students are meeting the demand. Also the Council hopes to win the Minute Man's flag for the school by getting 90fZ: of the students to participate in the war stamp drive. Th-is brings us up to date on the Student Council activities, at the time of this writing. The Council has promised more programs before the completion of the school year, and we may expect the same high quality of entertainment. The nine members of the Student Council who have accomplished all this are as follows: Frank McFerran, president, Ray Lippert. vice-president, Sue Campodonico. secretary, Bill Anderson, treasurer. Fritzi Ostholthoff, Nancy Porter, Alice Cooper. Dave Gorman. and Harry McFerran. Also a great deal of credit must be given to Bob Walter. former vice-president, and Jim Mathews, who served on the Council before leaving for college at mid-year. And while we are giving credit where it is due, we do not forget the great job Ensign Bush did' while he was the Student Council adviser.
