Student Council
The first meeting of the Student Council was called to order by the President, Robert Beken, on Tuesday, September 9, 1947.
One of the first and most important problems we tackled this year was that of setting up a list of requirements for those who wished to go on the West Point trip and to out-of-town basketball games. These requirements were based on good citizenship.
This year the Student Council started a new precedent (or rather we hope it did), of Student Day. Student Day was held on March 5th. For one whole day the students had charge of the school. Fred Knise was chosen student principal and each class chose its respective teachers.
This year the Student Council again sponsored the Annual Athletic Banquet, which was held April 16, 1948.
The constitution of the Delaware County Student Council was approved this fall, and Robert Beken of our school was elected Vice-President of this organization. Erma VerNooy and Hellen Marie King were chosen to represent South Kortright Central at all county meetings. This organization of the Student councils from Delaware County got a good start this year, and we hope it will continue to do good work next year.
