Personality a Factor. Representatives of more than 40 Illinois high schools gathered in Bloomington Friday for a two day state student council convention at Bloomington high school. Personality, variously defined as what it takes" and "the "having, of one's individuality," was the subject of discussion at Friday night's session, with Dr, S. A. Hamrin of Northwestern university Dr.

Hamrin urged the students to become Q. conscious," explaining that just as the I. Q. or telligence quotient, is the ship between mental and chronological age, so the P. or personality quotient, is the ratio between one's personality and chron-4 ological age.

Institutions have personalities as as individuals, and the kind of school from which one is graduated old la as much a factor in his later suecess as his scholarship and particIpation in student activities, Dr. Hamrin pointed out. He suggested the following ods to keep one from "getting lost in the crowd:" 1. Look at yourself. 2.

Be concerned for others, 3. Dedicate yourself to some challenging job. Before 1 Dr. Hamrin spoke, Fred Hellyer of Pekin, chairman, introduced John Frankel of New Trier high school, who defined personality; Frank Call of East Peoria, who suggested a cleanliness drive, 88 a school personality builder; Lillian Niedner of Downers Grove, who talked on importance of dependability, consistency, sincerity and tolerance if one would be a leader: Lois Fullerton of St. Anne, who pointed out that while confidence is an asset, cockiness is a liability; and Robert Maus of Pekin, who stressed the importance of self adjustment.

Welch said the petition-proposed light would protect, high school and Jefferson students. Mayor Louis F.

Mr. Harrison will be a member of the committee. No Action Required. James presented City Superintendent, of Schools for board consideration a teachers salary schedule calling for assured raises of 5 percent for all teachers.

Lindsay said. No formal action was required on the proposed schedule.
