S.C. ITTAKGS GXCIITIDG DlADS f0l2 W.C. Under the leadership of jack Emmons and sponsorship of Miss Upton, the Student Council did a great deal to carry out its duties of creat- ing a better relationship between the faculty and the student body and of promoting the welfare of the school. In the fall several members attended the Indiana State Student Council Conference held in Indianapolis. The chief purpose of this con- vention was to provide a training service for new members and to provide a medium for as- sisting newly-elected officers to gain a broader vision of the council's structure, organization, and operation. Their busy schedule included running the juke box, sponsoring the Homecoming festivi- ties, planning assemblies, and representing the students of Washington Clay High School.

This is the highest honor any high school student can achieve. To be eligible a student must maintain an average of 90 or above and excel in leadership, service, and character, as well as scholarship. He must also have attended Clay for one year. The objectives of the National Honor Society are to render services, to promote worthwhile leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the students of Washington Clay. On May 7 the annual National Honor Society Induction was held. At that time certifi- cates and the traditional plaques were presented to the members. Following the induction a re- ception was held for the members and their parents. This is the way it goes, says Barbara Clements as she and Alice Gutschick show new National Honor Society member, Steve Rich, how to wear the traditional plaque of the Society. wood, Jerry Zoller, Steve Rich, Dave Rogers, Alice Gutschick, Melinda DeFauw, Barbara Clements, jan Walcott. 2

The staff was made up mostly of seniors although juniors and sophomores who will be on next year's staff were also included in the roster. The goal set by the paper this year was to always put out a better paper than the one be- fore it. A new feature sponsored by the Colonial stah' was Miss Colonial. Everyone who bought a subscription to the paper could submit a vote for any girl that they desired to be the first Miss Colonial. This year she was Karole Juday. Also to help promote the subscription drive, girls on the staff dressed as colonial women. Do you remember the white wig and long skirts? Trying to please over 750 people would be a hard job for anyone, but this year's staff did a good job of it. Checking student articles written for the Colonial, the sponsors, Mrs. Kraus, Miss Yeager, and Miss Upton, smile over an amusing item. Members of the Colonial staff, Barbara Clements, Janet Walcott, Jack Emmons, and Georgia Robinson, look over the shoulders of Kathy Rupchock and Mitzi Sarich to see if the copy is just about finished. . j W' ,. .gt .A 'B .,.,fi - ' -
