Officers Broaden Contacts While many of us enjoyed our summer vacation swimming, dancing, and visiting out-of-town, the SCA began its work. Meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Goldsmith, parents of Bruce Goldsmith, SCA president, the officers discussed activities for the student body, as well as new responsibilities for officers to give the president daily contact with the student body. Bruce announced the school agenda every morning over the intercom. He discussed with Mr. Erb ideas to benefit students and also announced plays at home football games while vice-president Greg Pribble announced plays at home basketball games. Both Bruce and Greg served on the faculty advisory council. Along with additional officer duties, the school store moved to the second floor in D 204, and the suggestion box was trans- ferred to Mr. Booker’s office. Another change terminated homeroom representa- tives. Class officers were substituted, so PSOSCA the governing body of SCA was composed of them and SCA officers. Several socials were sponsored by the SCA. In October a Halloween dance was held. As an option students wore costumes. In December, a Christmas dance for which students donat- ed canned goods for the food shelter as part of their admission brightened the holiday. The SCA also sponsored dances after football games and for the Middle School. In May, elections for new officers took place followed by an induction cere- mony to swear them in. On its third year, the school store is still making a lot of profit. Its new location in room D 204 allows for ample space for additional supplies. Purchasing items from employees Karen Ogden and Crystal Myers are Rodney Hogue and Sylvester Toller. At one of the dances sponsored by the SCA, couples Amanda Shelton and Keith Treadway, Cindy Kelly and Tony Wade, and Mrs. E.H. Lane III and Bruce Goldsmith enjoy the slow pace of the music. A new task for SCA vice president Greg Pribble is to announce players for home basketball games.
