Active Legislature Generates Individual Response Student Legislature this year was the primary part of student self-govern- ment During Legislative sessions, which were called tice a month by Mr. Nord- enson, faculty adviser, representatives kept busy passing bills and discussing issues directly pertaining to the Student Body. Under the competent leadership of Vice-President Dave Riemenschneider, students discussed such new ideas as the possibilities of a legistoure-sponsored Spring Carnival and the benefits of a new representation system for the legislature (the present one includes seniors from English classes and sophomores and juniors from History classes). Regular parliamentary procedure was practiced so that the students could learn the pro- cedure used by U.S. law making bodies to reach their decisions. As the backbone of organized student activities, Student Legislature also or- ganized the various ASB committees. Those hard-working committees kindled lots of spirit on campus throughout the year. The creativity of many of the legis- lature officers resulted in an active legislature and increased communication be- tween the individual and his student leaders. 18

Specialized Committees Advertising Committee mem- bers were Miss Straight, ad- viser; lim Strauss, Dave Moore, Tay Shalhoob, Ron Zoldos, Wally Tong. Missing is Chairman Rip Georges. Advertising Committee— Lively, Creative, Informative This year a very contagious spirit splashed forth from the Advertising Committee. The group was well organized and uniform in style. Chairman Rip George ' s all-boy com- mittee was representative of many of the school ' s commit- tees and clubs. That representation was a unifying achievement which boosted communication of vital infor- mation to students. The Advertising Committee ' s bright, amusing and clever banners were a stimulating source of information for all. Election Committee Responsibilities Heavy Members of the Election Committee were SITTING: Melody Gillard, Nancy Davidson, Chuck Curtis, chairman; Craig Hoemer, Julia Reed. STANDING: Charlie Grant, Bob Butler. Under Chuck Curtis, the Election Com- mittee has had the heavy responsibility this year of organizing the spring elec- tions. Before election week began, the com mittee members approved all petitions and lawn displays. Also they plannec the assemblies and conducted the cam- paign rallies. Through the excitemen and confusion of Election Week, the com mittee members enforced campaign regu lotions. To cap its hard work, the com mittee scrupulously counted the votes. It was largely due to the efforts of th Election Committee that the student elec tions were conducted in a smooth, or ganized manner. 20
