There are nine standing STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS Kay Rugen, Secretary, Don Farmer, President, Bob Flesch, Vice- President, Anita Riggs, Treasurer. committees with over one hundred members. Committee membership is open to the entire stu- dent body but every representative is required to be on a committee. Most of the work is done by the following committees and their chairmen: Education, Sharon Ploudre, Election, Fred Krieger, Ethics, Bob Flesch, Civil Defense, Dave Crocker, Publicity, Joan Burgess, Public Relations, Harry Barden, Social, Sweet Long, Service, Carol Wil- liams, and Assemblies, Roger Allen. Officers are: President, Don Farmer, Vice-President, Bob Flesch, Secretary, Kay Rugen, and Treasurer, Anita Riggs. It is the belief of the Student Council sponsors that the organization serves a distinctive purpose in a democracy. Since one of the most important obiectives of the high school is training for demo- cratic living, it is felt that the students should be given as many opportunities as possible to parti- cipate in the democratic processes. This does not mean that the administration turns over the man- agement of the school to a group of students. It does mean, however, that authority is dele- gated to the extent that student responsibility is made evident. The sponsors of this year's student council were Miss Smith and Miss Jerzewiak, who have been working with the students for the better- ment of Ferguson High School. M14-
