Since there was no election, you may ask what now? It's a question Jerry and I had to face. It's a very crucial question. What assurance do you have that we will do a good job? Only ours. What plans do we have for next year, and does what you think of them matter? What the students think of our plans, matters a great deal. We need your support and cooperation for every plank in our platform, because without your support Student Council is powerless. We have divided our platform into two major areas: improvement in Student Life, and Reform Of Council. The first thing mentioned under im- provements in Student Life is Student Council sup- port of THE SHIELD. We would like a Student Council newsletter each issue, to take charge of student opinions and to help THE SHIELD become aware of unusual events or special student inter- ests. What junior or senior would say no to open lunch and shortened homeroom? Over the summer we plan to work closely with the administration to work out a feasable, workable plan that would al- low juniors and seniors this privilege. The tenta- tive schedule will run as follows: 12:30-12:45 jun- ior homeroom, 12:45-1:30 junior open lunch, 12:30-1:15 senior open lunch, 1:15-1:30 senior homeroom. This schedule would hopefully cut down on the traffic problem due to the fact that the seniors would be gone when the juniors began to leave, and the seniors would return before the juniors. The rest of Improvement of School Life falls under two categories: social activities and past promises. P. E. Mini-courses and open library and gym on weekends were all past promises. Music has often been requested in the cafeteria. We would like to have a juke-box installed to pro- vide that music. We are all for more and better dances and assemblies. Those are always areas to consider. By working during the summer with the school calendar, we would be able to arrange everything in advance. The students at Richwoods have received many honors, not only in sports, but in almost every event that a school or individual may participate. Because of this we strongly believe that there should be more recognition for these accomplish- ments. Permanent plaques or pictures could be placed in the terrazzo area and all through the halls. More showcases could be obtained to dis- play outstanding achievements. Richwoods is also part of the community. Lately our community services have fallen to an all-time low. It's not because the students don't care, but we believe that it is because there is not enough push to involve the whole student body. Usually, just a few students even realize that a drive or fund-raiser for the community is planned. What Richwoods needs is to be more informed, so that we may show how much we can do. Although our platform doesn't promise as many things as platforms have in the past, our promises aren't just promises. They are foreseeable goals that we plan to achieve within the next year. The ONE And ONI Jerry and Ansley--Our new Leaders! Anslcy's success in Student Council starts in the classroom. 40
