The first problem that confronted the student council was the election of three yell leaders-a yell king, a yell duke, and a yell duchess. ln order to be sure of the three most capable from eighteen contestants, the council had all eighteen try out at a football game, and from that group they picked a smaller group which in turn lead the student body in yells. By this process of elimination the three that were left after the final vote were the most capable and the peppiest all-around Hyellersf' Those chosen were Bruce Burns, yell king, Eddie Burten- shaw, yell duke, and Pat Higby, yell duchess. The election system of student body officers for the next year was changed into a regular political election. Petitions were taken around and signed for each office. When the time for the primaries came several students were running for each office. Political rallies and assemblies followed, as did soap box speechese- minus the mud-slingingfand banners bearing the candidates' names. Voting booths, ballots, and ballot boxes, and so and so has voted made the students begin to sense their responsibility to the school, and maybe in later years to the national government. The personnel of the student council for this year is: lohn Lundy, presidentg Charles Finnell, vice-presidentg Bill Barrett, secretaryg Don Coffin, treasurerg Essamary Parker, corresponding secretary. The class representatives to the council were: senior, Betty l-learne and Beverly Oakley, junior, Lorie Baxter and lack Hannegang sophomore, Beth Thomas and Charles Lenfestg freshman, Robin Reynolds and Betty Lou l-ligby. This council has been very successful. 19

Effort was directed toward assisting in the solving of the school's traffic prob- lems and support of the city-Wide safety campaign. The federation's annual dance was a successful affair, receiving a large attendance of lively students. lohn Driscoll, a member of the federation council, was chairman of the dance, which has become traditional with the council. The unigue theme carried out entailed a ceremony similar to that used at the Annapolis ring dance, the couples passing through a large ring, Where the boys slipped circlets on their dates' fingers. Besides these, there were many minor activities engaged in, such 53 the presentation of assemblies, locating and collecting fuel for the Nampa rally and bonfire, which, by the Way, is no small task in itself. .20- 'H
