Our ASB officers contributed greatly to the spirit and morale of our school. The efficiency of our school government helped encourage students to participate more actively. New and different ideas were contributed for the benefit of Bonita Vista High. lt was a difficult iob developing our student government into a working organi- zation. However, the success of the ASB officers and the rest of the student body can be seen today through the progress of Bonita Vista. Heading Bonita's first student govern' ment, was ASB president Doug Single. Second in authority was John Buttitta, vice-president. Sue Krzywicki, a ninth grader, served as our first ASB secretary. These three students did their best in helping Bonita Vista become the greatest school in the district. Officers for BVHS were not chosen until November 1. The reason for this delay was to give the students an opportunity to be- come acquainted before elections. Those who ran for an ASB office put up a vigor- ous and enthusiastic campaign. The effort exerted helped our government to progress. Bonita Vista QT A... .... . . ff' 'Wi -M

DECEMBER December proved to be a very busy month for most Bonita Bar- ons. Tying in with holiday prep- arations, was the Girls' League Baronial Ball held December 16. During this month, the official dedication for Bonita Vista High was held in the school gymna- sium. Students looked forward to a Merry Christmas and a jolly holi- day season. MARCH Highlighting March was Easter Vacation, which provided a wel- come relief from classrooms for both students and teachers. Spring sports such as tennis. golf, baseball, and track were in- troduced to BV students during this month. Other activities included a St. Patrick's Day Dance, a lollipop sale, and tryouts for Glee Club soloists. JUNE As the school year came to a close, it brought sighs of relief and anticipation of summer. On June 2, a dance was given which boosted Baron spirits during the last week of school. The year- books were distributed, and stu- dents had them signed by friends and teachers. The freshman class brought the year to an end with a dance on June ninth which proved to be a great success.

Progresses Rapidls The Student Committee, founded in April, 1966, was made up of students from Hilltop, Granger, and Castle Park lunior Highs, each of which were represented by two students each of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade classes who met the challenge of getting Bonita Vista High School organ- ized with driving determination. Members of the Student Committee were our first student government representatives. A few of the problems they had to deal with were choosing school colors and school nicknames for the student body to vote on when school officially opened in September. They accomplished much and made decisions which otherwise would have taken up valuable time during the school year. Because of diligence and persistent efforts on their part, the '66-'67 year at Bonita Vista got off to a great start. The student body of Bonita Vista High owes a tremendous amount of' gratitude to their Student Committee. The Student Committee is to be commended for the excellent quality of its work. Advising the Com- mittee was Mr. Schanke. ASB Officers, Doug Single, Sue Krzywicki, and John Buttitta, confer during their lunch hour. All of our ASB officers, senators, and as- sembly members worked together in pro- ducing a first class Bonita Vista govern- ment. The unity in student government displayed our great Spirit of '67. Assembly members and senators served as a link between the student body and the ASB officers. Our first year provided a number of tasks for those involved in government to perform. A Bonita Vista constitution had to be drafted, and students were anxious to set traditions. These iobs were effi- ciently handled by our ASB government. As part of his presidential duties, presi- dent Doug Single speaks at a Senate meeting.
