For a queen to reign regally on a throne for only a few breath-taking moments involved many hours of work by members of the council who made the thrones and planned all the ceremonies. The all-school play, sponsored annually by the Student Council, was especially pleasing this year: Fresh Air with its all-star cast included not only members of the council, but students from all three classes in the school. The Student Activity room was completely re-decorated by the Council: and it was refurnished by members of the faculty and by members of the organization, and promises to have many uses for the school in the years to come. Proof of the Council's benevolence is offered in the form of checks it gave to the Pep club, in a typewriter for the Activity room, in its pleas at Christmas for toys for underprivileged children, and in its benefit talent show to raise funds for the March of Dimes. Betsy Klein was vice-president of Oklahoma State Student Councils this year, and presided at the convention at Madill in December. jack Geurkink was president of District Councils and presided at the ldabel meeting in March. Don Oxford and Barry Galt attended the Southern Association of Student Government at Charleston. West Virginia. Weldon Saylor was a representative to the National Council Meeting last june in Denver, Colorado. This year the Student Council has been thoroughly active and serviceable. Its persistent and efficient leader, Ida Sutton, has done her job conscientiously and commendably. The members of the council extend to Mrs. Oliver thanks for assisting them in every way possible and always working with the interest of the Council at heart. ll x ,gr , , it 3 -A- 4 A'A' 1, N43 ,Sv 'khx 1 79:2 , f , ,rr ' FRESH AIR CAST.: Standing left to right: Elaine Hulse, Gene Morrell, Bob Dennis, Doris Ward, jan Lovell. joy Cobb, Ida Sutton, Flavil Yeakley, David Poe, Mrs. Nina Oliver, Nancy Underwood, Dick Miley.
