At the first convention of newly formed state Honor Society, Heights representative, Karin Smith, was elected secretary for the entire state NHS. The tutoring service run by NHS was re- vised and improved this year. Students seek- ing aid no longer had to apply through the counselor. Under the new system, they could contact NHS directly. Most of the year consisted of planning the initiation, induction, and banquet for the new members selected in March.

Student Council Continues Its Efforts For Better Relationships Between Students And Administration 1 Named by faculty and Student Council as Students of the Month for October, Sheryle Siegfreid and Chuck Kaluza accept the honor. Keep them smiling seems to be Tim Yantos' slogan as he smoothly carries out the sale of three more Homecoming buttons. 4'Helpl was the word heard most often by Student Council mem- bers on the first day of school. lt was their job to see to it that every- one, including sophomores and other new students, reached their classrooms without incident and, if possible, on time. After this start, the Student Council maintained a brisk pace throughout the year. Their first activity was Homecoming. Student Council members were responsible for the Homecoming Dance, the car parade, the pepfest, and a reception for i962 alumni. As soon as the Homecoming festivities ended, Council members went to work on their next activity, the'Sadie Hawkins Dance. Later in the winter came Frost Daze activities. The Student Council added to its service to CHHS through its many service projects. The first of these was the Thanksgiving food drive. To heighten the contest between the classes, a gobbler prize was given each day to the class that had the most cans. Other serv- ice activities included the bookmobile, and scholarships which were awarded at the end of the year. Using body English, Student Council advisor Mr. Briesch tries to help a confused sophomore find his way the first day of school.
