Student Council confutes, questions, figures Going to high school includes more than the 8:30 to 3:30 learning period. At Hastings High, the student council spon- sors various activities which students moan, groan, and complain about, but usually attend, and occasionally enjoy. The Whole Thing started off the year, September 1. Students came to the high school practice field, and played games as well as listening to music and eating watermelon. Dances became popular again this year. Blackberry Winter played at the Queen's night dance, October 12. A Christmas dance, December 22, and the Groundhog Day dance, February 2, featured Sweet Water Essex. Slippery Rock performed at the Twirp dance April 27. The highlight of this year's student council activities was Twirp Week as the council had something going every day. Monday was Ride your bike to school day. Tuesday was the third annual Crazy Days. Highlights of the night's ac- tivities included Dave Vaughan winning the raffle to hit Dr. Murman with a pie, and the seniors winning the tug of war. Wednesday was Teacher Appreciation day as some of the students dressed up, and teachers received flowers. Thursday was Theatre Thursday. Marlon Bran- do and Robert Redford starred in The Chase. Friday was My Favorite Star day and students dressed up as their favorite celebrity. Winners for the best dressed went to Mark Willy as Louis Pratters, Chuck Landgraf as Groucho Marx, Kathy Mastin as Joni Weston, and Miss Moeller as an Andrews sister. sg 32 ' n gif: f, ky' Saturday was the Twirp dance, thus girls had a number of chances to ask their favorite guy out for a date. Besides all this, the student council had convocations which received mixed reac- tions from the student body. At Thanksgiving, a number of juniors put on a humorous skit about how Thanksgiving really happened. At Christmas, Mr. Pratters as Santa, and Mr. Spitler, Mr. Brownell, and Mr. Leonhardt, as reindeer, threw candy canes to everyone. A rock band, Free Fare also came as did Wild Bill Burns who played the piano and sang his famous hit Piddling Sam.
