Though some will say it has been an unsuccessful year for Student Council, no one can say it has been unexciting. The Student Council's main objective this year was to overcome student apathy and increase student participation. President Mark Hanna tried his best to instigate new ideas and put them to work. The usual controversies developed between the more radical council members, but these were resolved through lengthy discussion and definitions of correct parliamentary procedure. The council was out to change the world this year, but it succeeded only in making some major tand minorj changes in Coolidge Union High School. Some of the changes did not re- ceive credit where credit was due, but they were effective nonetheless. Students were kept happy with special weeks and their activities, scheduled dances, loans of money, candy sale per- mits, and a coke machine in the hall, but little did some re- alize that the Board of Student Affairs, Student Betterment Fund, Marquee, Bulletin Board, Homecoming Parade, Charity Carnival, Foreign Exchange students, and Homeroom Spokes- man, came via the same source-their Student Council. Members of the Council found, somewhat to their amaze- ment, that Student Council meant not only an hour out of class each week but that they were expected to buckle down to work hard on matters beneficial to the needs of the students.

Cooperation, a sense of responsibility, being with good friends and having good timesg this is Coolidge High School at its best. People getting together with each other to reach certain goals set for them as members of an organization. Students are getting more out of school life than book work and studying. They are finding the satisfaction of being needed by others through organizations.

Student Council Executive Officers Deann Kleck, secretaryg Steve Hawkins, Treasurerg Joanne Davis, Social Chairmang Levia Keyes, Publicity Director, Mark Hanna, Presidentg and Mike Wuertz, Vice-President liked to monkey around.
