This page sponsored by: Shuck Brothers Implement 10 This years governing body consisted of a boy and a girl from each class. The student Council was led by President David Kraakmo and assisted by their advisor, Mr. Dobber- stein . A great many accomplishments were made throughout the year. These representatives constructed and displayed a suggestion box so that the student body could express their ideas and make changes in the schools poli- cies. Action was taken on several of the sugges- tions. One special improvement was the addi- tion of a flag to each room so that the pledge of allegiance would start the days activities. The Student Council also organized and pla- nned the Christmas party, the Homecoming and Sweetheart dances, and provided refresh- ments and entertainment after several home basketball games. A suggestion, Mary?

Faculty Paves the Path for Education The faculty is not only the most important part of the school, but it plays an important role in the community, the nation, and the world. It helps prepare the students of A. H. S. to be better citizens and leaders. In the community, the faculty works with the PTA on many projects. Some of the tea- chers helped prepare a display of the Home Economics and Agriculture students' projects for one of the PTA meetings. They also had to evaluate the school as a whole, and eval- uate their teaching programs for the North Central Accreditation Association. Acting as a guide on the path to education in all areas, the faculty paves the way with knowledge, adds discipline to keep students on the right path, helps with activities to make the trip enjoyable, and leaves them lasting impressions.

SCHOOLBOARD. L. to R. J. Clark; R. Johnson; G. Riffe, chairman; D. Larson, bus- iness manager; R. Berg, R. Kirscb. Not pictured: Dr. A.M. Bradley, vice chairman. The Democratic Way August of 1967 found the schoolboard eval- uating the new addition. When it was finally completed, these gentlemen heaved a big sigh of relief. All of the long hours spent debating over the blueprints with the contractor were over. Some of the crowded facilities of AHS were now relieved because of the efforts of these men. Taking part in the dedication of the new ath- letic field was another honor for the school- board. They were aided in this project by the athletic booster-club . Results of special elections showed that in 1968-69, Alcester would experience a big in- crease in the number of grade school students. Several school districts decided to reorganize and join the Alcester Independent School Dis- trict. Therefore, anew and enlarged school- board was organized, and they also met reg- ularly to plan the needed changes for the next school year. Schoolboard members take care of final bus- iness matters for the 1967-68 school year. 11
