These People Can Be Counted on! Student Council members really got down to work this year to carry out many successful plans. First of all, plants and Trees placed in the courtyard by last year's Council, were replaced where necessary and cared for throughout the year. Students used their Saturdays to work on this as well. The Council also sponsored a float in the home- coming parade and sponsored the homecoming dance which had the largest turnout of any dance ever held at Berkeley Senior High School. Over 350 people attended it. Alumni were encouraged to at- tend which contributed to its success. The Council also introduced the idea that the home- coming queen should reign throughout the school year and this idea was accepted by the student body. Other important business of the group concerned encouraging better student behavior in assemblies. This ambitious group has still further big plans for the oncoming year which include fencing the football field and school grounds, sponsoring a snack stand at football games, donating toward a patio for stu- dents to lounge during lunch period, and secure North County League pennants to be hung in the school's gymnasium. Officers of the Student Council were: President, Ricky Young, Secretary, Ron Trantham, and Treas- urer, Van Weissflug. Vince Aspromonte and Linda McLain care for one of the trees planted by the Student Council in the school's court yard. Members of the l963 Student Council pose with their sponsor, Mr. Joseph Rudawski.
