HS. students found out about all they wanted to know from the Spartan News. This little paper reached its many student subscribers every other Friday. As each one read his issue, his face registered humor, surprise, and recogni- tion. Behind all the causes of various expressions were the able staff of the Spartan News. Two Mondays before the paper came out, the Editor, Patty Huxtable, assigned the articles. A few days later the articles began coming in. Jerry Nanamura handed in his exciting Sports column: Gossip written by Ann Smith came in: Fashions jotted down by Sherryl Anderson were placed in the Editor's handsg and lastly a couple of feature stories by Mickey Miller helped complete the paper. Mr. Smith, the patient and excellent advisor for the paper, then corrected each article and turned them all over to Patty: the Assistant Editor, Imogene Norris. and the typist, Mary Jean Haber- inan, who typed all the articles in columns of twenty-two spaces. Stencils of the pages had to be typed, which usually meant staying after school the day before the paper came out. Friday finally came, and fifth period found the paper be- ing mimeographed and the pages being stapled together. The staff has been very lucky to have their own work- room this Year. Always before they have had to carry on their work in Mr. Smith's commercial room. All the equip- ment used in editing 3, paper are kept in this room, in- cluding mimeoscope, mimeograph, typewriter, and 9, filing cabinet. Near the end of the year, in accordance with the custom, a very good Junior Edition came out under the direction of next year's Editor, Barbara Nelson. It was edited entirely by Juniors. To wind up the year, the last issue was a Senior edition, put out entirely by Seniors. It contained the class will and Prophecy and other articles of interest to Seniors. -by Patty Huxtable Pica 21

They put nioro school life and information in the saint- old space, l'l'K'llll!'Cl to life some good ideas which had died before their time isuc-li as Senior epitomesi, and incorpor- ated sonic new ideas lsuch as picture division paggesi B-1 provided the staff the full sized room needed for work and the :xceoiiipaiiyiiiig clutter. Mickey, Carol B.. and Ellen worked, under Mrs, Gays excellent supervision, every fifth period and sonietimes after school, too. Editor Mickey had many of the pages planned when school started. leaving the stall' more time to devote to other duties. Carol B. and Ellen. having learned all the fine points of annual work, are rariii ' to go 115 Co-Editors next year. Carol F. and Dell Juan were constantly on the go the last part of the veai- solim-itinu the ads which make this large yearbook possible, Although the going was rough, tough, and not always pleasant, they got gi lot of ads. Glenda Worked wonders in discovering dates and bits ol information the staff thought gone forever. Jerry worked hard to see that the sports write-ups included every im- portant detail. The way Shirley made those keys go whei. the copy was being typed was spectacular, Th 1 profession- al photography for the book was done by Rennick Studio. and the printing' was done by the Lindsay Publishing Com- pany, Mr, Smith and Mr. Staton acted as on-the-spot photoflraphers. getting pictures as the occasion arose. Many others helped in producing this book. Sharon Speck help- ed with art work, and those writing articles have been giv- en by-line credit. The staff sponsored 11 sales drive from mid-December to mid-February, with seniors. juniors, and sophomores getting l00','I- sales, and the freshmen clear- ing over 750. This was climaxed by an Annual Day pro- gram, including the crowning of Annual Queen Linda Parman. Yes. making this yearbook involved much more time, work, and expense than you niigrht Quees. -by Mickey Miller Iiige 20

Maintaing its position as hub and cen- ter of school activities, the Student Council had another active, diversified year. The Council met every other Tues- day during fourth period. with each mem- ber giving a sho1't account of his official activities during' the previous week. Then any member could advance a topic for action or discussion efficiently led by President James. They sold popcorn at the football games. The inadequate cap- acity of the little machine led the Coun- cil to make the big business move of purchasing a big, automatic machine in time for the bas- ketball games. The new machine was operated atnoon every day, profiting about enough to cover the periodical pay- ments and leaving the profit from sales at the basketball games for the Student Council fund. When the machine is paid off next year. it will become fl profit-making service. A big Thank You goes to the students who sold popcorn for the Council during noontime. The Student Council sporsored a sock hop in the new gym after the Orosi football game. Added attractions were entertainment, ping pong, and refreshments. They also sponsored two other dances during the year, one in the cym. and a Valentine dance in the cafeteria. In the fourth quarter they drew up some regulations and rules for future dances, among them that all dances would be held in the Women's Clubhouse and would not exceed three and one-half hours.

About 90 stu- dents, parents, and townspeople came to honor our Spartan basketball players, to see Patty Huxtable crowned Basketball tain. and to hear Flint Hanner talk. In T X addition to selling tickets and making general arrangements, some of the Stu- dent Conncil members also served. The Council lost mon- ey on the banquet but, thanks to some of their money- making projects, had enough to keep from going into debt. During the last quarter, the Student Council organized and presented an exchange assembly to exhibit some Spartan talent to nearby schools. These schools. in turn, presented an assembly to us. Student Body Elections were held earlier 1April 18h for the first time. in accordance with last year's constiutional amendments. The student body dues of S2 entitled one to vote. to free admission to home games and 1'5c admission to other games.
