STUDElXlT COUNCIL How much money do you have in your account? A person un- aware of the functioning of the Student Council might not understand this guestion, but any Abilene High School student knows that the stu- dent banlcing system has been referred to. This is only one of the ac- complishments of the organization. Friendship Week helped the stu- dents to become better acquainted with one another. Badges carry- ing name and classification were Worn, and a Flashlight was given to Thomas Buzbee, who had the most original tag. Student directories, considered time savers by the students, carry the name, address, tele- phone number, and classification of all the students e just another clever idea of the Student Association. Members of the l-louse of Representatives were selected through the home rooms and reported their Work to their classmates. The stu- dents feel that Abilene l-ligh School could not get along without the Student Council. Faq l6
