The F,T.A. initiated a program of student teaching to give them a view of what it is really like to be a teacher. Many members participated in this program and felt it was very beneficial. A tutoring program was also set up. Members would take time out of their study hall to help other students who were having trouble in a subject. Some of the programs this year were a talk about the German school system and the Work of the Peace Corps. Mrs. James took over the job of being faculty sponsor.

The student body voted for members of their class to be representatives. Four Sophomores, four Juniors and five Seniors make up the student council. One of the most popular projects by the student council has been Grubby Day . Stu- dents pay 25? for the right to wear shorts or slacks to school for a day. A money-raising project which provided fun for everyone was the Sadie Hawkins dance in February. One of the main topics at their meetings was the student lounge. It was finally okayed if they raised enough money to pay for half of the partitions which would be needed. Officers are President, Dee Fentimang Vice-President, Ken Snyderg Secretary, Connie Stutheitg and Treasurer, Janis Rippe. Students relax in the newly-founded Student Lounge
