Calendar Sales Surge Council’s A.F.S. Fund Student council is the representative government body. Each organization and class sends delegates to the monthly meetings. Guiding the group this year were its officers: Joe Stradcutter, president; Rose Ediger, vice-president; Judy Scully, secretary: and Roger Bromaghim, treasurer. The council sponsored many activities throughout the school year: a soc hop for both junior and senior high, Student Government Day. the Christ- mas program, and Awards Day. New members soon found out that belonging meant work; such as help- ing to obtain queen’s cars for Homecoming, taking tickets at games, working in the concession stand, making posters for Dress-Up Day, and selling BPHS stickers. However, the main project of the council is the American Field Service Exchange Program. Bring- ing an AFS student to Belle Plaine every year is the main goal. This is accomplished by the annual com- munity birthday calendar sales. Every one knows that the council is the place to go to air any problems and gripes, or to voice an opinion for improvement. Danny Murphy and Scott Melcho r student council members, decorate the Christmas tree that was displayed in the school lobby. 26

Staff Produces Eight Page Final Issue Throughout the 1968-69 school, the TIGER TOPICS staff strove to make each issue of the paper just a bit better than the preceding one. They did just this—and produced a final issue that contained eight pages.

One-Act Play On«-Act Play Cast, Left to Right; Judy Scully, (The Maid), Craig Tordsen (The Professor), Jean Huber (The Pupil). The maid qained power over the professor when he tried to attack her after killing the pupil. The Lesson was a highly symbolic and contemporary play aimed at the establishment. Ionesco’s “The Lesson’’ Placed Fifth in District Eugene Ionesco’s One-Act play, The Lesson, was chosen by Mrs. Hasbrook, One-Act director, for the 1969 One-Act competition. The Lesson was a play full of symbolism and sarcasm about the establishment. Through the use of representing youth as an unsuspecting and naive girl seeking tutoring from an old professor, representing soci- ety, with an uncontrollable urge for killing, the author brought out the importance of developing one's thoughts and character while still young. The maid was the driving force behind the conflict between the professor and the pupil. As the play progressed, the professor and pupil found them- selves becoming more and more in conflict with each other, resulting in the murder of the pupil, youth, by the professor, society, with the maid promoting the deed. On January 25th. the cast and crew journeyed to Lakeville for presentation of the play, returning with two B ratings and one ”B-fThese earned BPHS fifth place in the district 13 drama compe- tition. The play was also presented to a group of the student body on February 14. 27
