Student Council Works for Unity Building the foundation of the Student Body, the Stu- dent Council was headed by ambitious council people. The council referred the opinions of the students to the administration. Through the years it lias been discovered that a council composed of student representatives helps to strengthen the union between the students and the ad- ministration. Besides building and strengthening enthusiasm the Student Council has taken an active part in numerous behind the scenes duties. The council drew up and put into action the plans of Pirate Day, the council super- vised the spring elections, and during the Parent-Teacher Conferences the council acted as a courtesy committee. This year the council heard proposed changes in the honor point system. Faculty members made their recom- mendations and the council then discussed and acted on these proposed changes. Authority comes in many forms--the School Board, the Student Council, the Superintendent, the Principal. But it is only workable through understanding, co-opera- tion, and respect on both the students' and Administra- tion's part. Only then is unity found within the school. 16 The Student Council directs their at- tention to Barry Cermak as he explains the business on hand.

Mr. Mark Gauer and Miss Rhonda Rendall instructed the physical education classes in the high school and elementary. This was the second year of co-educational P. E. Next year P. E. will not be offered in the high school due to the small enrollments in the classes. P. E. was divided into four sections each lasting a quarter or a period of nine weeks. Many different sports were offered throughout the year. The students became acquainted with playing flag football, volleyball, bowling, badminton, tennis, seat soccer, and a two on two bas- ketball tournament. Competition in the class for the championships pro- duced rivalry among the students. The school bus and cars were the source of trans- portation from the gym to the bowling alley where the students learned the various techniques of bowling. Flag football ended the year by being played at the foot- ball field due to nice weather. Physical Education Game of Various Sports Lower Left: Carol McCloud run from Colleen Weidenbach.

Harmonizing the work between the teacher, student, and parent was only one of the multitude of assignments given to the administrator of the school. Striving to create a good school image and tackling myriads of re- ports and paper work are also some of the varied duties of Superintendent Leo Uken. Mr. Robert Luce in his first year as high school principal, has a full schedule overseeing 20 teachers and 213 pupils. Mr. Luce enjoys athletic activities and could be seen at most of the home athletics events. The eight member school board has spent many long and dilligent evenings at their regular monthly meetings contemplating matters that would benefit the school.
