This is the second annual that has been published, and instead of being printed, some of the typing students typed it to save money.
STUDENT COUNCIL
The student council was reorganized this year after disorganizing for two years. The officers, juniors and seniors, are elected by the student body, and the other four members are the class presidents. The council very ably sponsors the various activities within the school.
