Teenagers of today will be tomorrow ' s leaders. At Aviation interested students are chosen to learn the techniques of leadership as members of Stu- dent Council. Here they have a voice in decisions conccrninc; activities on campus. The regular ac- tivities of the Student Council included deciding the date and speakers for a.s.semblies, providing after game dances and standardizing club proce- dures. Besides these responsibilities, the council also thought of ideas to get the entire student body to participate. .After an unsuccessful attempt at hold- ing meetings after school, the ASB decided to hold a Spring Carnival. Each club was represented with a booth and the entire .student body was invited to spend their money la ishly. The money raised went to the benefit of each individual club. Student Council mcmbpr Larry Bomar looks complacent as Prexy Richard announces plans for the Spring Carnival. Richard Breeden efficiently leads enthusiastic council members in discussions of campus problems. Council members find time to smile during a hectic session trying to find a way to balance the anemic Student Body budget. 35
