Club Promotes School Improvements Gaining closer relationships between students and faculty members was the purpose of the Student Advisory Com- mittee. This was the second successful year for the organization. Mr. Charles Craddock, sponsor, chose the members of the club, and the students, joined by the Faculty Advisory Council and the Parent Advisory Council promoted school activities and spirit. Suggestions for school improvements were made and carried out by the three Committees' combined efforts. Getting the youth of Tyler interested and involved in local activities was this year's goal of the Tyler Youth Volun- teers. Aiding retarded children, the United Fund, and the Chamber of Com- merce on several occasions kept the students busy and active throughout the year. Ms. Barbara Huchel, the new TYV Coordinator, brought in many new ideas for the club, and attendance increased greatly this year. lVlr. William McGoff, debate coach, was club sponsor and was pleased with the accomplishments the members made. 16 . . .
