 Stu Co Willing To Work From repairing signs to helping others, the Student Council added many extra touches to this school year. They began by replacing the weather-beaten sign in front of the school with a brand new. shiny, red one. built and painted by council members. Extra plans for the Football Festival this year included a Kid’s Day and a School Colors Day. which seemed to get everyone involved. With the help of P.T. A. they were able to serve punch at all theu dances, which was a welcome treat after all that dancing. They added a new dance this year by sponsoring a formal Holiday Dance.
