Our student body was represented this year in the Student Council by six seniors, five juniors, four sophomores, three freshmen, two eighth graders and two seventh graders. Elected President, Vice President and Secretary-Treasurer were Jim Yochim, Carol Christensen, and Jean Prindle in that order. In an endeavor to better the school, the Student Council invoked a system of hall monitoring designed to prevent confusion and extraneous noises in the hall, and to keep students from skipping class. Where before if a student wanted to go to the of- fice he had to go all the way up and get permission from the teacher-now he merely has to go up to the teacher, obtain permission, have her fill out a slip indicating the destination, day, period, and the student's name, and show the pass to every hall mon- itor on the way. If he were caught in the hall without a pass, he would be sent to the office, so one can well see the merit of this system. This year they also wrote a new constitution establishing the apportionment of representatives of the various grades to the Council, the school colors, the motto, and the seal. High on the list of accomplishments of this progressive organization was the suc- cessful Alumni-Varsity game played to raise money for the March of Dimes. A dance followed the game. It is achievements such as these that have made the Student Council so indispensable in our school scene. 76
