Student Council . . . Council Says NX Hi to Exchange Student by Connie Corson Have you met the new foreign student from New Zealand? everyone asked when school opened. Oh, you mean Rachel? She ' s no foreigner! others answered. Rachel Tucker had already be- come a typical American teenager with a slightly British accent and some amusing native expres- sions such as petrol, frock, and Cheerio! The dream of having an exchange student at Ripple was finally realized after months of plan- ning by the American Field Service Committee of the Student Council. When Rachel came in August to live with junior Evy Stone and her family, she fell right into the swing of things. Rachel wasted no time before participating in school activities, especially those of Student Council. She was the featured speaker at the annual SC Auditorium, which was conducted like a regular Council business meeting. Homecoming, headed by Carolyn Burkle, was another important project of the Student Council. Also, to keep students posted on up-and-coming events, the SC members maintained two day-by- day bulletin boards and a cafeteria reminder board. Be Proud of Your Cafeteria was the slogan emphasized by the Council as members supervised the Clean-Up Campaign with the co- operation of the Senior Class. After months of discussion and rewriting, the constitution of the Council was completely revised, presented to the student body in the SC auditorium, and then passed by a unanimous vote of the students. Welcoming Rachel Tucker to Ripple are the Student Council officers Rrent Sutton, John Kingdon, Linda Bender, Marilyn Weil, and Connie Corson. Too much homework! exclaims Rachel Tucker as Evy Stone helps her with her assignment. We never have this much in New Zealand, she states emphatically. 18
