Student Council The student council chose the following leaders for the year: president, Alex Padilla; vice- president, Stephen Stanton; secretary, Sharon Smith; and treasurer, Mary Salcido. One of the first projects of the year was a banquet in September for all council members and high school faculty members. The purpose of the banquet was to help the teachers and student council members become better acquainted. Terri Murry was chairman. Another project was the preparation of a lounge for all CHS students. Much time was spent on this project. A couch, chairs, and tables were donated by Rietz's Furniture Store. The stu- dent lounge is to provide a place for the students to gather and to study. It is located in the student council book store. Six members were selected to attend the student council convention at Yuma on December 10, 11, and 12. Students attending were: Stephen Stanton, Sharon Smith, Mary Salcido, Ruthie Fer- nandez, Terri Murry, and Joe Kingsley. A talent show was sponsored by the student council on January 19. Ruthie Fernandez was in charge. All students of CHS were invited to contribute any act that they wished. Acts were contributed by individuals as well as groups. The CHS Charity Drive was also headed by the student council. Stephen Stanton served as chairman of the committee in charge. An evaluation committee then combined all the activities of the entire year in order to suggest a program for the next year. The student council had a very successful year in conducting their many worthwhile projects. Student council sponsors were Miss Meyer and Mr. Patton. 18

 -r fj ' ■ y J r CHARITY DRIVE MAKES $500 LEFT: Alex Padilla, Carol Scott, and Terri Murry checking thermometer to find goal exceeded $500, The week of February 9 through 15 was set aside as CHS Charity Drive Week sponsored by the student council. A sum of $500. 00 was raised. This figure represented the most money that had ever been raised by such a charity drive at CHS. A banquet was held for the presentation of the money to presidents of the following organiza- tions: Mrs. Donna Olney, Heart Fund; Mrs. Flora Munkres, Cancer Society; Mrs. Charles Tracy, March of Dimes; and Rosemary Pochmara, Greenlee County Crippled Childrens Society. The presidents of the organizations and all student council members attended the banquet. The committee in charge of the drive was: Stephen Stanton, chairman; Dan Danenhauer, Carol Scott, and Terri Murry. The drive opened when Terri Murry and Carol Scott acted as announcers over radio station KCLF for a period of three hours. One song was played over and over again until $5.00 was raised. Then a change was made to another song. Money was also donated for special services. These services included Mr. Pavlich and Mr. Salas singing El Rancho Grande, Mr. Morris singing the Marines Hymn, and Mr. Meneley singing another solo. An auction at the high school was next. Individual teachers and students auctioned services and food to be bought by any member or group of members of the student body who did the highest bidding. Over the weekend the committee and helpers sponsored a toll bridge project on the new Clifton bridge. As cars passed, charity drive donations were solicited. The drive ended with a faculty basket- ball game between the Morenci and Clifton faculty members. It is tradition at CHS to give the student body a one-half day holiday whenever they raise over $100. 00 in a charity drive. The 1959-60 student body definitely earned their holiday.
