School board president. Jay Gark, and Roger Anderson inspect the newly remodeled library. New Annexations Among the people who are most involved with determin- ing the quality of education received at AHS are the mem- bers of the school board. They are involved with the most integral steps toward providing a good learning atmosphere but are also confronted with all the problems that hinder those steps. Long hours have been given by this dedicated group of people to solve the problems faced by the school district. Some of the annual duties of the school board are hiring teachers and other personnel for the district, planning the budget, and levying taxes. They are concerned with the formulating of school policy and the organization of cur- riculum. This year they purchased a tract of land for a possible future sight for a new elementary building. Another noted improvement was the new instructional material center and the introduction of modular scheduling. Both of these advancements have helped to increase the flexibility needed for education.

Student Council Sponsors Ice Cream Social The Alcester student council consisted of one boy and girl from each the freshman and sophomore classes, two boys and one girl from the junior class, and three boys and one girl from the senior class. The council was led by Presi- dent Clark Wilson and assisted by Mr. Person, advisor. They met monthly to discuss various subjects and ideas. Some of the duties that the student council strove to car- ry out were to help provide an environment of co-operation between faculty and students in all co-curricular activities, to develop ideals of school spirit, to promote the practice of good citizenship, and to work for the general welfare of the school. Student council members were chosen from each class at the beginning of the year. The group planned and organized the Homecoming Sweetheart activities and held an ice cream social. They carried out several other activities and helped with the school picnic. Student council members Arlo Lykken and Jeff Sogn help set up the “Big Toe Jam Band” before the Sweetheart dance.
