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

Guirey, Liston, Krohn, Nathanson, Wilson, Grodzinsky Senators With A solid voice in student affairs - that's what Central High students are assured through their Student Senate. An accurate balance of representa- tion is kept, with each class electing its own senators. This year the Senate raised a strong- er-than-ever voice for needed reforms. Most ambitious of these was a full-scale study of the C merit system. The ad- . ministration is giving serious consideration to the Senate's recommen- dation this school term. 1 Mehagian, Heflin, Bob Blanchard, Ramenofsky, Stolfa, Hess, Samuelson, Sheri Guirey, Arnote, Fillmore.

Besides enacting reforms, the Senate furth- ered the cause of the cause of the student body by means of fund-raising projects. Start- ing the school year with a deficit, the group upped its treasury balance to over 52000. Projects included sale of Foreign Exchange stock, magazine subscriptions, a talent show, and sale of colorful Bobcat pins. Central was well represented at the Arizona Student Council Convention in Scottsdale this year by Senators Pat Mclvlonigle and Ken Weiss, who reported interesting and valuable information back to the CeHS legislators. As CHS grows in importance, the Senate hopes to streamline many facets of student government. Leaders especially want to bring new ideas on assemblies and the honor system. 6
