ment of the school. Many of these
improvements were projects started
by the preceding council members and
continued or finished by the council
the next year.
In 1886 a tennis court was complet-
ed by the council. A tournament was
started which aroused interest in ten
mis- and helped the students become
familiar with the game. We expect
it to be carried on again this year
and become more popular than before.
One of these projects which was
started last year was a bicycle shed
in which the pupils who rode bicycles
to school could keep them for a small
charge. With fine cooperation from
the Industrial Arts teacher, Mr..
Beauchamp, the shed was finished this
year. It is proving to be very sat
isfactory at the present time and we
hope it will continue to be so.
The Student Council has raised
money in various way. A large part
of this money was used for Athletic
equipment and for the improvement of
the library. Besides many books, daily
paper, "The Baltimore Sum-" the Coun
Gil has added several magazines.
Among these magazines are: The Sat
urday Evening Post, Commentator,
Life, The American Magazine, The
American Boy and School Activities.
With the addition of so much mail
to this school, a mail box has been put
up and the mail has been delivered
to the school thus taking the trouble
and bother from Mr.. Simmons who
before received all school mail.
The Council also gave a small con-
tribution to the grades for their lib
rary in appreciation for their helping
us raise money.
The members of the Council have
been instrumental in having games
contributed which the pupils have the
privilege of using at noon hour. The
Council would appreciate more games
so that more pupils might take part.
Every room in the high school is
inspected by a member of the Council
for neatness and good appearance.
At the end of the year the room hav-
ing the highest average percentage
has received a prize of three dollars
to be spent ON the Improvement OF the
room. The freshman home room won
the prize last year. This year the
council decided to give an award
which could be moved from room to
room each month. A plan for
framed design, submitted by Miss
Bennett, contained a statement that
the room possessing it had fully reach
ed the high standards demanded by
the Council. Mr.. James Wilson very
artistically painted this trophy which
is an attractive addition to any class
room.
The first room to earn this award
was Mr.. Beauchamp's Commercial De-
partment. The pupils who have class
Sc in the Lab now have the pleasure of
seeing it there.
Since the school was presented
with a flag pole and United States
flag, the Student Council has been
trying to obtain a Maryland State
flag to display under the United
States Flag.
At the last December meeting the
Council approved the presentation of
monographs for good work in athletics
to the following pupils:
Girls: Edith Jones, Janet Hancock;
Boys: Harry West, Clarence Garrett.
For the first semester high school
pupils who had free period were
appointed to go in the grade locker
rooms during their recess and see that
no misbehavior was going on. The
pupils who have satisfactorily filled
this position were: Girls: Elizabeth
Dryden, Barbara Ards; Boys: Joseph
Sherkey, Francis Cherrix, Franklin
Bowen.
The pupils serving on the Hall and
Yard Police for the period of time
from December 81 to January II are:
Hall Police: David Northam, Sarah
Brown, Ellen Blackboard, Shirley
Mumford; Yard Police: Archer Hollo-
way, Lingo Hudson, Emily Shockley.
