O The P.T.A., Music Amplifiers, and boosters were an important asset to the success of our school. The P.T.A. and Boosters operated the concession stand at the games. The Music Amplifiers ' main goal this year was to supply the band new uniforms and the choir new robes. The Boosters were our loyal backers in all of the sports. The P.T.A. ' s goal was to establish greater understanding between school and home. Our personable cafeteria staff strove always to provide tasty lunches which were reasonably priced. Though they had only half an hour, they managed to serve the entire student body quickly and efficiently. Always ready to be of assistance, our custodians cheerfully replaced and repaired broken equipment and assisted teachers at all hours. land Hadley, Mrs. H. J.

SSX 7o The main purpose of student government is to teach us how to use the basic principles of democracy which we have studies classes. The experience of learning i is an invaluable one because it gives us the chance to makf s. When we can profit from our mistakes ipply them to life, they become a necessary of the trial-and-error system. As a student making deci- s about ition, we receive needed train- : policy-making issues. Another reason for student government is to train able leaders I ture. The people who participate in student gov ' epresent our school, not only at meetings and schc but everywhere they go. They discuss our rid problems with the administrators, doing their best to present the students ' viewpoint. They learned from the administration by working with them and helping to run the school. In the cabinet, the secretaries of finance and student sales work with Mrs. Johnson on the budget. The job of the legislators is to know how the students feel and what they want. The objectives of student government are communication and understanding between the students and the administra- tion. The students work hard to achieve this goal but believe it is well worth the effort. As the chairman of leadership said, To get the greatest enjoyment and satisfaction, you have to put out a full effort and do your very best all the time.
