Qrganized only two years ago by Edwin Adams, former dean of boys, the federation has proved itself invaluable in fulfilling the very real need for a cen- tralizing influence to direct the boys cooperatively. The responsible position of president was Well filled this year by Bill Moatsp he was assisted by Bill Forney as vice president, Don Coffin as secretary, and Bill Barrett as treasurer. 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

H g L Baxter, Farle , H B t L -ily STUDENT COUNCIL o After the call to order in the student activities office, the student council Weighs the problems of the school and would successfully govern the student body of l800. 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

The lndians are coming! Anyway, that's what it looked like when the Girls' club cabinet sponsored a pow-wow in conjunction with the Boise-Moscow game. The dean of girls' office was transformed into a general store, where lndian head-dresses and brightly colored feather ticklers were sold. During the pow-wow lndian blankets and these head-dresses made the students really look like the Boise Braves. The purpose of the sale was to raise money to sponsor a Tunior College scholarship. This, however, was only one of the many activities of this year's cabinet. The Co-ed Ball under the co-chairmanship of l-lelen Skelton and Ramona Rodgers had as its theme l'Candy Land. The hall was decorated with huge lolly-pops, chocolates, and candy canes. Each girl received red and white candy canes. The annual pay assembly put on by the Girls' club had as its chairman Lois Camp. The theme was a Black club or a night club in the heart of New York City. The stage was decorated entirely in black and silver. Couples, formally dressed, danced and dined, and an elaborate floor show made this pay as- sembly undoubtedly the most enjoyable ever put on. The officers of this year's cabinet were: Grace Minson, presidentg Betty l-learne, vice presidentg Essamary Parker, secretary, Lois Camp, treasurer. .21-
