Administration led to honor privileges . ,gn Charlie Lamson Vice-President During the past year the officers of the Associated Student Body of Mercer Island High School have attempted to bring to the ASB a new sense of direction and purpose, stated Grayson Connor, ASB President. We have tried to more closely associate the organization with the needs and interests of the high school student body. In light of this objective, we have tried to expand the responsibilities of student government in an effort to increase student participation. We have recognized the fact that the ASB serves as an unique educational opportunity within the high school. We also recognize that the ASB is the only school elective and representative body with the general responsibility for student welfare. This was our obiective. Our success will be iudged by those who, today, comprise the total student body of the high school. lf we have succeeded in increasing the student council's responsiveness to the students and more closely identifying it with the needs and interests of a greater number of stu- dents, then this-the year of the ASB- has been successful. The student council strived toward new goals under the guidance of Grayson Connor, ASB President. The officers discussed together the problems facing the student body early in the year. While these difficulties were worked out, new ideas were also brought into play to increase student interest. Charlie Lamson, vice-president, thought up suggestions for assemblies and worked them out with the administration to deter- mine their feasibility. The students were kept well informed of all the proceedings of the ASB meetings by Nancy Wood, secretary, who wrote the minutes which were then read to each class by the home room representatives. The business mana- ger, Greg Palmer, worked along with the other officers and also kept a record of finances. Together the officers worked towards a more effective student body organization. i T A isii i 3 2 5 i- Grayson Connor, ASB President, discussed prospective ideas of the Student Council with Mr. Seng, adviser. 19
