Senior Council started off their final year with an explosion of spirit. The first class competition event, Mitchaballoo, was taken as a precedent for the entire fall season. With a prize-winning float dominating their achievements, seniors swept almost all Homecoming events to grab a commanding lead over the juniors and sophomores. November 11 saw the seniors sponsor a field day for Mitchell girls - a Sadie Hawkins Dance was held featuring the Bedlam Research. A year long quest was made for senior privileges with few gains, however, a ground work was estab- lished for next year's class. The second semester coun- cil ended a great year by working on the carnival, sen- ior trip, and senior gift. y 1, Jiaifvff A .Ex l S. 143 , -.ur , W i i . gas -Vt 4-

Many long hours were spent by the staff of For- eign Times, a newspaper featuring current events of national and international affairs. New to Mitchell this year, Foreign Times was readily accepted and appealed to Mitchell's interested students. Under the guidance and leadership of their spon- sor, Mr. Robert Stack, the 1967-1968 Foreign Times staff gained experience in the field of journalism by learning management and production procedures. The only membership requirements were a good academic record and a genuine concern for world events. Editor-in-chief was Charles Thompson, foreign af- fairs editor, Cammie Fairburng assistants, Rhonda Smith, Mark Medvedeff, Curt Risvold, Jim Stewart, do- mestic affairs editor, Peggy Rowdeng current events editor, Louis Wilson, cultural affairs editor, Robbie Haines, student poll editor, Peggy McMilleng managers, Ron McCurdy and Bob Ham, printing, Mr. Douglas Graff, and faculty advisors, Mr. Robert Stack.
