For a lucky eight STA classes who worked for and got 1000fo membership on PTSA, this was the scene. The 'l000!0 member- ship included one parent for each student. Not only did these stu- dents get pizza for lunch, they also got into the two PTSA-sponsored dances free of charge. The lucky and hard-working classes were those of Mr. Golds- mith, Mr. Hines, Mrs. Keal, Mr. Mc- Laughlin, Mrs. McLaughlin, Mr. Pumphrey, Mrs. Quackenbush, and Mr. Williams. Along with these fringe bene- fits, the PTSA CParent Teacher Stu- dent Associationi was a good way to give the parents and teachers a chance to get together and discuss the needs of the school and its students. This organization not only took care of business, but helped the parents, teachers, and students to get acquainted. A--W if Q H 44 is T9 .QL 11

Student council makes a gift to the school each year from the monies it re- ceives during the magazine drive, their only fund raiser. This year there were some exciting new twists in student coun- cil. One new thing for STUCO was that there was a reporter for the school newspaper. Lara Pittsenbar- ger reported on STUCO happen- ings. There were also more mem- bers this year and no elected offi- cers, resulting in equality as the name of the game! Some of the responsibilities of these members were working in the concession stands at dances and decorating for them, planning and publicizing events, and helping with the activi- ties sponsored by student council. These events included the canned food and United Fund drives, spirit weeks, dances, and being Santa and his helpers at Christmas. This spring, STUCO attended a state conference in St. Louis. They also attended a summer camp to help improve their leadership qualities and share ideas with other STUCOS. Of course we wouldn't even havestudent council if it weren't for the two sponsors, Mrs. Cesaretti and Mr. Renne. ' Student council installed expe- rience in each of its members. And as Mrs. Cesaretti put it, lt teaches responsibility, leadership and coop- eration to help each student in the future.
