There was a positive, fresh, new attitude throughout the student body this year. Though the Stu-Co had initiative problems they were often representative of this new attitude. Many times the question “Why doesn’t Stu-Co ever do anything?” has arisen. While it is easy to understand this view, it is also important to realize Stu-Co has strict limitations on what they are allowed to do. Their main job is to represent the student body and work within the boundaries set by the administration. This year the Stu-Co held a V-100 dance, sponsored two cross country concession stands, cleaned the class pictures on second floor, and had a campus clean-up day when they picked up trash around the high school. Mr. Harshbarger, sponsor, had this to say, “My feelings as sponsor are and will continue to be: to impose upon the members that if given a responsibility, no matter how small or large, how they take that responsibility will dictate any larger responsibilities in the future for students. We have too many students wanting something for nothing and I would hope that Stu-Co could help change this outlook. The solutions would be for all members (representatives and officers) to do the job they were elected for. Talk at class and club meetings, get input, bring it back, and then Stu-Co can sort out and implement. Stu-Co members need to work with the administra- tion instead of against. Students must be positive about their job and work within the school rules and boundaries for overall success and accomplishment”. 28

( ) Raider Spirit . . . . . . Flyin’ High The Wamego High School Spirit Club is a very active organization. Particularly attractive spirit signs and team member locker posters have been made and displayed this year. WHS halls were also colorfully decorated before each home game. The football homecoming parade and dance, and the athletic banquets were organized and sponsored by Spirit Club. Credit goes to the Spirit Club for organized cheering at every game or match. A new point system for those who were interested in Honor Pep was also enacted this year. 1. Vrcnda Pritchard. WHS mascot, concentrates on a football game. 2. Mrs. Crosson and Mrs. Rankin, spirit club sponsors, seem pleased with the moment. 3. “Hey, what's so funny? WHS Spirit Club members meet in the library.
