The Orientation Committee—Sharon Ber- geson, Judy Budd, and Will Anderson— has the duty of introducing new students to all of the student body officers. Shown is Catherine Killen being introduced to Bill Cunningham. The Finance Committee—Gwyn Howell, Nancy Fullmer, and Jerry Gardner—take care of the money-making projects of the Student Council and the Cabinet. They also audit the books of the classes and the clubs each six weeks. SHARON FUKUMITSU Editor Student Government Bill Cunningham, our President; Tim Elison, our Vice-President; Jan Hutchings, our Secretary; and Lyn Packer, our Reporter discovered that leading a group of stu- dents, establishing policies best for the school and acceptable to the student body were goals often exciting, sometimes difficult and always interesting. Progress was slow but progress was made. For the most part the student body cooperated, and recognized the value of this group—the Student Body Officers. We, the Student Body Officers extend our heartfelt thanks to those students who proved themselves good citizens in helping us complete our journey through the year. It is indeed our pleasure to say, because of your help, the year of 1960-61 was a success. The Calendar Committee—Anne Madsen. Sharon Fukumitsu, and Elaine Bitton—is the group re- sponsible for putting up the calen- dar each month showing the school activities for that month.

Without our Student Government, its Council and Cabinet, we would be one great unorganized body, one thousand strong, with no course and no captain. But BHS had its captain—Student Body President, Bill Cunningham. He helped plot our course. We ac- complished our goals within a year's time. 24

SINGING AROUND THE CAMP FIRE Blackfoot represented at a National Student Council Leadership Conference I was chosen—truly a trick of fate.” As told by Jan Hutchings With majestic Colorado mountains a backdrop, and Camp Cheley the site— students from the entire United States assembled to exchange ideas, discuss and solve problems, and to improve their schools generally. Under superb, adult leadership—each instructor was a master—daily classes were held. These classes were long but never dull; every moment was a vital experience. Some of the discussions were practical very day problems such as how to make needed money; what a Student Council really stands for; parliamentary procedure; what the work of each officer is. OUR MOUNTAIN CLASS TIME We were assigned to cabins and from the moment of arrival to departure time everything was the epitome of organization: never a lag in schedule, not one meal late, never did one delegate violate a rule—and always, fun! The objective under which we worked was Learn By Doing. Immediately after setting up camp and getting acquainted with our surroundings we were assigned to schools.” There were about twenty students in each school and each student body, so set up, went into rigorous competition with each of the others. School spirit was high. Names, school colors, yells and songs were chosen. The leadership exemplified at all times was amazing. , Our program was full: classes, sports competition, talent shows, and even a big banquet. This banquet was as beautiful as the Junior Prom. Each school” decorated their table—and the imagination and creativeness was really something to see. We had literally no materials to work with, yet the results were fantastic. And so I could go on and on!—an experience thrilling beyond words! I do hope someone will be chosen again to represent Blackfoot. VOLLEYBALL HAPPY DANCERS 26
