will deal with them in hi.- own
way. While on the subject, the
council decided to ask coach to
keep a watch on the gym at this
11 me.
The fire dtvfs which ^re sup-
posed to be a monthly routine,
had not been expected in n seem-
ingly long time so the Council
declared that we would have a
drill in the very near future.
A member of the council was
recognized by the president and in-
formed us of some new business.
The member stated that a Dr.
Berniee Moore was coming to the
school on February 21 to talk to
the students about "Boy and Girl
Friendship" and "Teen-Age Par-
ent Problems." The coming of Dr.
Moore was one of the efforts the
teachers of Bastrop High School
have made to see that the students
had more social life. The mem-
hers said that Mrs. Colvin, head
of the Homemaking Department
which is to hold a reception in
the Home Making Living Room
for the guest speaker, the morning
that she talks to us. For more
details the president sent Tommy
Chalmers to bring Mrs. Colvin
to the meeting and tell the coun-
cil a little more about the plans.
While Tommy wa gone, the pre-
sident appointed a committee to
help with the refreshments con-
sisting of Joann Schaefer, I^arry
Turner, and FI Ionise Spencer.
Mrs. Colvin arrived and told us
the following about Dr. Berniee
Moore Dr. Moore is a very fine
person who works in the field
of mental hygiene. The teenagers
of today ai so low in mental
hygiene that i' wa- finally decided
that something Kmj *o be done
about it during one : out f mer

Mogg, a foundation was csw'.. sh-
ell for mental hygi'o. Wh i
Governor Hogg died o.t. hU
hi* money to the foundation i }- ■ -•
.va- called Hogg Foundation in
hi.- honor Dr. Moore is one of the
consultant- of the Foundation.
When Dr. Moore arrives she will
to the high school as a
,troup and Mrs. Colvin thoupht
it would be nice to have a recep-
tion so we could all individually
become acquainted with her. Dr.
Moore will not only talk to the
student body but to the P-TA as
wt'll. After Mrs Colvin left, the
council rompleted preparation
pla- for the arrival of the guest
speaker.

to the president with the infor-
mation that the council had $18.20
in the treasury.
