The council representatives were also elected at this time by each class. A co-ordinating committee, consisting of juniors and seniors who headed the special com- mittees, was formed to assist the president. Under the direction of Mr, Edwin Osborne, the Student Council sponsored various projects and activities. The members worked on a student handbook which was distributed in the fall. The Student Council's greatest endeavor was the Homecoming weekend, which included a pep rally, parade, and queen contest. Flowers were presented to each candidate and prizes were awarded for the best floats in the parade. Other activities in- cluded sponsoring an alumni dance at Christmas, operating the food booth at football games. and sponsoring a foster child in South Vietnam. Hamburg High School can be proud of this year's Student Council for a job well done! Front Row: Mitchell, Calkins, Baker, M. Fleming. Second Row: Dugan, Wilson, Meyers. Standing: Romance, Leese, R.
