During the first few meet- ings of the year the constitution was set .up and the year's officers were elected. Early in the year, a. Sadie Hawkins dance was sponsored by the Student Council. November 21 and 23, Prin- cipal Morton Hamlin and four Student Council members at- tended the annual convention of the Maine Association of Student Councils at Portland. Students who went were Dar- rell Snowdon, Judy Barbour, Judy Grindle, and Richard Snowdon. Workshop sessions, FXS N , Q campaigns for new state officers, a dance, and other social events made up the pro- gram. Later in the school year the combined councils of Deer Isle and Stonington drew up plans for a semi-formal Christmas Ball, which proved very successful. The purpose of the Student Council is to improve our ' high school. Any student can X bring in complaints concern- ing the Way classes are sched- uled or activities handled, or can recommend i m p 1' o V e - ments. In this way each stu- dent has, through the Student Council, a voice in the opera- tion of Deer Isle High School. 25 SW X
