New semseoly ' School spirit and the organization of the sophomore class were the main topics of this year's Human Relations Council. Members of the group discussed ways of improving interest in student government, school sports, and school life in general. It was felt that students did not re- ceive enough experience in leadership during their underclass years, thus ham- pering the success of the senior year. Plans to organize the sophomore class, complete with officers, were begun with the help of school administrators. In this way, students would become trained in the ways of leadership and so make the senior year much smoother for both of- ficers and students. School spirit was another problem cry- ing for solutions. lt was discovered that many Juniors did not know the school song. For the Tech-Ben Davis basketball game, the Human Relations Council had the school song printed and distributed in the programs. Council members made their annual trips to feeder grade schools and also con- ducted tours of the campus for the visit- ing eighth graders. The Council l22 members equally numbered by race and sexi usually dis- cusses racial problems as a major concern, but this year pupil indifference topped the list. The council, therefore, strove for involvement. 6 fl, cv Q3 xr Q ,... - .I .
