It Is Said: “The Reliance On Governments Is Student Council underwent much change this year as the Student Body Officers, Bob Leach; president, Karen Kenney; vice-president, Cindy Griffith; secretary, Larry Carson; treasurer, and Sue McClean; head cheerleader, strove to improve, correct and amend relevant issues at Encinal. E.H.S. Radio, split assemblies, and the controversy over P.E. pass or fail grades were the most talked about issues. E.H.S. Radio was a series of Friday morning announcements combining comedy with daily messages. Perhaps the most memorable show was “Bruiser La Rue,” which moved the audience and almost moved E.H.S. Radio off the air. Students reactions returned the show on Fridays but at less than burlesque level. LEFT: KAREN KENNEY and Sue MacClean think about an issue brought up in Student Council.

Women’s Lib Brings All Female Officers - Spring Student Gov't. Debate was the key word in spring student council this year. The spring officers initiated new ideas but at HORIZON press time, no final decisions had been made and a greater portion of the ideas had been tabled. Item: a student court to handle matters that required the decision of a body other than the student council was discussed. Item: taxation based on the net income of various club’s fund-raising activities to increase the student body treasury was seriously debated but tabled. Another major item was the seminar program in which guest speakers, films, and “games” were offered to E.H.S. students and the community during lunch periods and in the evenings. Seminar suggestions included a voter- registration day, a March of Dimes program, and a croquet tournament. Discussed, not tabled, and finally voted in, seminar programs became a reality in March.
