Serving as an active catalyst by promoting interested student participation in myriad projects, the Student Cooperative Association (SCA) set the tone for all school activities. A determined group, they started right in continuing old activities and beginning many new ones as curious eyes watched to see what might happen as the first black president began her year. But plans soon resumed their proper porportions and SCA adviser • Mrs. Charlotte Farmer remarked, These projects ended in an overall success HZ ' Jl which was attributed to the hard work of the off icers and student involvement. As a project of the SCA, little blue boxes made their first appearance throughout hallways, allowing students to express suggestions and grievances. Also a new venture, the concession stand at all JV football games could be found operated by William Carr, SCA treasurer, and his helpers. A Christmas candle drive, a UNICEF project and a voter registration drive for eighteen year olds were promoted by the SCA. From the purchase of an $1100 popcorn machine at the end of football season to the addition of new picnic tables in the spring, the SCA paved their way into broader paths. Officers were exempt from performing all this work themselves alone as students accepted responsibility and attained an interested attitude in all of these projects. If someone desired to do something, there was always a committee to put him on. CANDLE, UNICEF DRIVE INITIATED Council 14 SCA
