SttiJeHtbcdif One of the most active years of representation was witnessed by B. Y. High students this year. The student government of 1961-1962 has been acclaimed as being among the top councils in sense of responsibility, concern for the studentbody, job sin- cerity and activity. , The Executive Council was an example to the studentbody. In all activities they exhibited traits of character which set them apart as leaders. They served as a liaison between the adminis- tration and the studentbody and thus were able to coordinate all school activities. They motivated the studentbody to accept decisions made by the administration. Once every week during the school year these leaders met to plan and schedule school events. They made many important decisions which affected school life. Through their experience they were able to give advice and counsel to students who were responsible for class and club activities.

O icetA The Student Council sought for and received improved stu- dent behavior. With the announcement of the assembly, library, and sportsmanship policies, the students responded to the advice of their representatives and conditions were improved. By sponsoring various activities, beginning with the Get- Acquainted Dance and the Student Council Assembly, the Council members aided the students in becoming acquainted with one another. They also sponsored the Amateur Hour and the Christmas Program, both of which gave students an oppor- tunity to display their talents. They helped to boost school spirit by sponsoring pep rallies, field days, and victory dances. At the close of the school year, the Student Council spon- sored another field day, a reminiscence assembly and a closing social. These fine activities left the students with pleasant memories of a wonderful year and the conviction that much had been accomplished under this leadership. 15
