xpvpnivv v.g,az-CQ,-,hy V V- gy 1- ,...., v - - v .Y This year marks the 25th birthday of the AHS Student Council. From its very beginning the council has been a dominating factor in school life. Not only does it serve the entire student body but for its members it provides training in student govern- ment, democratic living, and future leadership. So important has the council become that it would be hard to imagine this high school without the driving force of that industrious student organization. Direction of the governing body in 1950-51 has been under the outstanding leadership of president Betsy Klein, aided by vice-president Don Horne, secretary Eddi Rue McClanahan, corresponding secretary Mardy Steele, parliamentarian Barry Galt, ser- geant-at-arms Nathan Geurkink, historian Mary Jo White, reporter Billie Rose Hensley, and budget chairman Betty Ann Maher. These officers pictured above, with Nina Oliver, sponsor, compose the executive committee. This year's council continued many of the activities and projects which had been originated in former years. Among these are the conducting of all school elections, the arranging for all queens coronations, and the awarding of the service cup at the end of each semester. Council proiects particularly enioyed by the student body are: the annual all-school picnic, the noon movies, the hcmecoming football parade, and the all-school play. The 1950-51 council has been responsible for the instigation of such proiects as: Frontier Day, which was a full day devoted to western fun and frolic accompanied by a splendid student assembly and topped oft by an all-school party at the Y. This council also started a proiect of more democratic student elections by allowing candidates for the various student governmental posts an opportunity to give short campaign speeches. A courteous aid to new students is the council-sponsored reception com- mittee which greets all new arrivals, introduces them to their teachers, and generally makes them feel at home in AHS. All council members greatly anticipate attending the various student council conventions that occur during the year. Not only do these meetings prove to be educational but they provide fun and give the delegates an opportunity to meet boys and girls from all over the district, state and nation. One of the highest honors that a member of our council can receive is to be selected as a delegate to one of these conventions. Mardy Steele was Ardmore's capable representative at the 1950 National Convention at Denver, Colorado. Southern Association delegates at Oklahoma City were Betty Dolman, Morgan McCullar, Mayre Bob Dobson, Charles Combs, Betty Ann Maher, Eddi Rue McClanahan, Mardy Steele and Betsy Klein. The council also sent representatives to the state and district conventions. No Council Story is completely told without mention of the gracious and assuring leadership of Nina Oliver, sponsor. Not only is she loved and respected by her local group but she has distinguished herself as an outstanding leader in district and state student council work.
