Student Government Officers Foster Spirit Revival Enthusiasm and creative planning of Student Government leaders were reasons for the major revival of interest in school and school-related activities. With the help ofseniorclass officers, the Executive and Activities Boards held an orientation assembly for freshmen on Sep- tember l in order to promote freshmen in- volvement. An assembly for seniors followed to seek their cooperation in the spirit revival. As a result, more sports tickets were sold than in the past ten years, and student interest soared. In addition to the annual magazine drive, Tiger pennants and pens with the DHS basket- ball schedule were sold. Student Government attempted to streamline meetings by assigning seats to representatives, installing sergeants- at-arms, and requiring stand-up votes. Projects included finding the spirit rock and planning a 40th birthday party for the school. Controversies arose concerning a decision to allow freshmen to enter clubs first semester, a proposed change in the Homecoming Queen system, and plans to install a dome over the senior court. Through the Toledo Area Student Council, a Student Board of Education, one of the first in the country, was established. Student Gov- ernment Vice-president Dave Johnson, as De- Vilbiss' representative, met with board officials to discuss such issues as senior exams, and a student smoking lounge. .
