The e officers have workeddi ligently and unc'Jsingly to keep alive all tudent-body activities. Th' student-body court has cooperated in regulating student behavior.

The tud.ent Council Every school needs an efTicient, workabl ', organization to pro- mote a friendly spirit of cooperation among al l m mbers. W be- lieve that we have such a group in the ' tudent Council of the jordan IIigh School. The Counci l does not take the place or do th' work of any oth r governing or advi sory body, but it docs supplement and aid every other existing organization . It serves a a medium of expression and better understanding among student s and grmq · of tud 'nts, and between faculty and students. The Council is purely a repre ·entative body, compose I f one member from each first period cia s. Thi year marks the beginni1ig of the Coun cil, and .its record thu s far is commendable. ·1h' admin- istration thanks all those who have help 'd to mak' th organization a reality, and hores that the coming year will see the favorabl growth that might reasonably he expected.l 'age 22
