In Power Calling on everyone ' s support the student council of ' 78 held it ' s first meeting, October 31. Mr. Smith welcomed the 68 member council. Since the student body officers, Perjetta Smith, West Sweatt, and Sandra Marshall had worked to- gether as Junior class officers, get- ting the student council in gear did not propose much of a problem. However, most of the class officers were new to the job. With Coach Wright giving advice along the way, the Student Council began organizing many student ac- tivities. Homecoming day activi- ties, first on their agenda, took place on October 7. To make money, the Student Council members popped popcorn, poured coke and made their way through cheering crowds during basketball games played at Callaway. The Stu- dent Council worked with the drama department to put on a ta- lent show on December 14. They also sponsored a donkey basketball game and a gong show. The Student Council gave Callaway students a voice in government. It also added unity to the school through its leadership. Wright is right!

During these months the All-State Band, Delta State Honor Band, and the Mid South Honor Band Contests took place. The band also participated in the Delta Band Festival and Solo and Ensem- ble Contest.
