Clubs Receive Representation on Council Alcester’s Student Council held irregular meetings throughout the year to discuss the schools activities, school policy, and troubles. New members were added to the Student Council this year: from German Club, A-Club, FFA, FHA, and Pep Club. Members were chosen from each of these groups and from each class. The council consisted of seven seniors, four ju- niors, three sophomores, and two freshmen. Mr. Zingler also added his skill to the council, as an advisor. Student Body President, Larry Hebert and a senior member, Joe Gubbrud, attended a Seminar at Yankton on Area Student Councils to get a few new ideas. Student Council was in charge of planning the Christ- mas party, for which they selected a movie. They, also, were in charge of plans for Homecoming, Sweetheart, and by selecting bands, making refreshments, and decorating the gym. Other activities were selecting attendants from the first and second grade for Homecoming Coronation, organizing a noon lunch, and Grub Day. 8 1st row sitting-Jane Eiiers.

It was designed so that high school students could help in the lower grades. There was, therefore, more individualized help for those who needed it and the teacher could work with his students on a one to one basis. The high school students involved, did this usually everyday at the same time, voluntarily giving up some of their own study hall time. However, this did vary, depending on the time of day the class met. The students picked the subjects that they wanted to help with, according to their personal interests. All grades and subjects were covered according to the needs of the class and teacher. Some classes, therefore, had more than one cross-age peer helper and some cross-age peer helpers had more than one class. Above, at left;Glenda Hughes helps the second graders with math.
