GlJS BLANCHARD ANNE KOVACOQlClH SHARON MESSMORE RITA GEAR K President Vice President Secretary Financial Secretary Our Leaders Governed Well Thanks to the combined efforts, leadership, and enthusiasm of the Student Body officers, Executive Committee, and Student Senate, this year saw our government at a peak. Leaders, working to improve old standards and set new goals, forged ahead with a vigor and diversity that made '60-'61 memorable. Rising from an embarrassing financial shortage, the student government ended the year with an excellent record of projects successfully completed. These included a magazine sale, sponsorship of needy families for Thanksgiving and Christmas, an AFS stock selling campaign, and a Bobcat pin sale. YEP, HERE IT IS! says President Gus Blanchard to Secretary Sharon Mess- more, Vice-President Anne Kovaco- vich, Financial Secretary Rita Gear, and Sponsor Felton, as the executives check technical point in the handbook. , N ,lx A ll 4
