STUDENT COUNCIL

DURING the first week of school, the DeVilbiss Student Council was organized.  The Council, which numbers seventy members in all, is composed of a representative from each home room.  At the first meeting, George Schaiberger was elected president.  It was then he appointed various senior members of Council to serve as commissioners or the advisory group to the rest of the Council.

This organization has as its purpose the promotion of student interest and spirit so as to afford an opportunity for a greater measure of student control in more group' affairs, and to promote the general welfare of the school.  All questions arising within the Council are, of course, subject to the approval of the principal.  The Council issues all club charters and has definite rules for club operations.  Any clubs failing to abide with these rules can not be rechartered.

Many projects have been accomplished by this organization.  That which is probably the most outstanding is the publication of the new student Hand Book.  This book is for the benefit of the students in order to have them become acquainted with the school.  The constitution, the rules and regulations of the school, list of all the clubs, the school song and code, and many important, but little known, facts pertaining to the school in general, are to be found in this useful little book.

Under the capable direction of Mr. Diller, Dean of boys, a Student Court was established by the Justice Commission for the purpose of punishing students.  The trials are solemn, and the punishment of the culprit is swift and just.  Another project put across by the Student Council, with the cooperation of the student body and faculty, was the obtaining of a combination phonograph and radio set for the school in general.  This set was given to DeVilbiss for collection of twenty-five hundred records.  The radio and phonograph are very useful and the student body should be thankful to the Student Council for such a presentation. Besides these various projects, welfare work of the school has been capably handled by the Student Council with the assistance of the Senior Class Welfare Committee.
