School Governing Body. Making a point of order is Larry Berdine, Student Council president, checking his motion is Larry Simpson, vice president; keeping a record of all these activities is Kay Daniels, secretary, and Susan Griggs completes her treasurer ' s report. In all free and democratic societies, the cit- izenry have a hand in their government. So it is at Calumet High School. With a student enroll- ment of approximately 1,125, there is a definite need for a student led organization which will function much as the state and federal govern- ments do. Thus we have formed the Student Council, which is our governing body. The Student Council is in charge of all stu- dent assemblies, school and class elections, school spirit programs, the maintenance of our juke-box, the polio drive, and numerous other activities. The representatives to the Student Council are selected through class elections, and an auto- matic appointment of all class and club presi- dents. This year we have a membership of 55 re- presentatives. These representatives have a very high and important position in the school realm so it is an honor to be a member of the Student Council. The chairmen of the assembly committee is an important position. Pictured are Peter Staresnick and Roseann Schuster who are co- chairmen of the Student Council Assembly Committee. - 25 -

Listening to the business of the Sr. Honor Society during a meeting are the junior and senior members. Goal Of C.H.S. Honor Societies. Officers, Roseann Schuster, president; Shirley Berdine, vice-presi- dent; Sharon Mason, treasurer; Gordon Ligocki, reporter; and not shown Bernadette Zenone, secretary; call the meeting to order. The object of the Ora C. Strycker chapter of the National Honor Society is to create an en- thusiasm for scholarships, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership and to encourage the development of character in the students of Calumet High School. Membership is based on scholarship, service, leadership, and character, and an “A” or “B” in all subjects must be maintained. Any member who fell below the required standards was warn- ed and given a second chance. If, during the next nine weeks the member failed to meet the stand- ards, the Faculty Council voted and decided whether or not the member was to be dismissed. The Junior Honor Society, for eligible fresh- men and sophomores, sold Christmas candy for a scholarship for the senior who the members thought most worthy. The Senior Honor Society, for juniors and seniors, sold pennants and candy for their trea- sury. - 27 -
