STUDENT COUNCIL Left to Right-First Row-Sally Hotchkiss, Rosella Harney, Delores Mitchell, Dana Mannon. Second Row-Ann Rees, Mary Real, Dona Hartwig, Joan Hickey, Mr. Hanson-ad- viser, Carol Rinkenberger, Angela Tumbleson, Bernard McKlaen, Bill Kelly, Bob Kidd, Jack Carroll. Since the Student Council plans and sponsors all of the extra-curricular ac- tivities of the year, it must be represented by every division of the student body. The council consists of fourteen members, each class, club, and school bus being rep- resented. The members of the Student Council this year were composed of Presi- dent, Angela Tumbleson: Vice-President, Dana Mannon fsenior classl, Secretary, Sally Hotchkiss, Band Rep., Bob Kidd: Chorus, Delores Mitchell, Home Ec. club, Dona Hartwig, F. F. A., Bob Doll, Thes- pian club, Rosella Harney, Freshman class, Bernie McKean, Sophomore class, Joanne Hickey, Junior class, Jack Car- roll, West Bus, Carol Rinkenberger, East Bus, Mary Real, South Bus, Bill Kelly. It is the Student Council's aim to smooth out all difficulties that may arise by promoting a better understanding and higher ideals among the student body. The largest project of the Student Council comes in the printing of the 8.11- nual. Through the publishing of this book the life and activities of the student body is shown. The homecoming put on this year by the Student Council was a great success, and the money that was made was used to purchase various things throughout the year. This year the Student Council dis- tributed complimentary activity tickets to all eighth grade students in and around Bradford. The District Student Council Conven- tion will be held in Peoria this year and it is our hope that our Council will be rep- resented. During the basketball season the Stu- dent Council sponsored a dance after sev- eral of the conference games. An event that has been popular with .most of the students is the dancing class, which has been conducted on convenient school hours and after school when the buses stay in for conference games. Miss Mc- Elwain and Mrs. Traugh are in charge of this. This year the Student Council has re- vised and introduced several new pre- ambles to the constitution which were read and approved by the student body.
