The members of Council include an elected president and the presidents of grades seven through twelve. We will try to remain in the background of student affairs, hoping that the student body will come forward on its own. --Lissa Mitchell, First Semester Council President I will try to encourage direct communication between the students and their government, for this is the only way Council can be a truly effective representative of Student opinions. --Olivia Arnason, Second Semester Council President Court And Council Presidents First Semester QRIGI-lTj:Cordy jenkins, Court, Lissa Mitchell, Council.

Student Government First Semester Court And Council COURT, STANDING: Virginia Wyman, Gair Hemphill, Annie Croco, Bobbi Hans- berger, Gudy Geibel, Betsy Bill. COUNCIL, KNEELING: Betsy Wheeler, Mary Youell, Sarah Parrington, Jane Gray, Debbie Marshall, Shelly Abel. Court is the judicial branch of the student government. The president, a member of the senior class, is elected by the student body, as are six representatives from grades nine through twelve. Court advises the students on school behavior and appearance. By enforcing a high standard of conduct, it helps the students to attain a sense of responsibility and maturity. I think we, the students at Bush, are capable of exhibiting our individuality and personal tastes with only a minimum of suggestions and advice. Court is the body elected at Bush to offer these suggestions when necessary. --Cordy jenkins, First Semester Court President Every rule at Bush has a reason behind it related to what is good for everyone in the school. There has to be people who have the special duty to be aware of whether or not the rules are being obeyed. Ithink this is the importance of court, not at all because people need punishment. --Betsy Bill, Second Semester Court President 44

SEATED: jane Gray, Carolyn Colwell, Melissa Smyth, Peggy Scheinman, Christi Thompson, Olivia THE RAMBLER The teen-ager has problems to solve. The school newspaper cannot solve all of them for him, but it can be a positive and constructive influence. The free and open encounter of teen-agers with ideas and facts new to them is a necessity. The school newspaper is a significant medium in which to stimulate positive thinking about big and small problems. Arnason. As students write and re -write to convince other students, they discover that they must be critical of their own work. They realize that few persons have a monopoly on truth. As a consequence they become more reasonable and realistic-and more tolerant. So it has been during my year as editor. . . --L. Y. Laurence R.
