Student Council Plans Magazine Drive This year, the entire student body joined together to give the Student Council the support needed to carry out many of the yearls ac- tivities. Council began their year with Home- coming and Senior Day. Halloween festivities, namely a Sadie Hawkins Dance, were organized by Student Council. Costumes were the attire for the evening and the entertainment consisted of music by Rosewood, an instrumental and vocal group, and a horror movie. Student Council contributed to the spirit of the Christmas season by buying Christmas trees for the indoor court and presenting Charlie Brown's Christmas. '..K,2 - In the Spring, a student exchange was held inviting council members from neighboring schools to join the East Allegheny community for a typical school day and an evening social. Engineering the magazine drive is also credited to council, a task which required con- siderable organization. All students were asked to sell magazines. The purpose of the drive being to raise funds for landscaping the indoor and outdoor courts. The 1972 Student Council also supported other school activities when called upon to do so. Thus council members experienced an industri- ous and successful year. .si 3 ,fi . at Left: Student Council Officers: D. Hoffstot, Secretaryg B.

Students Are Encouraged To Participate in Two Extracurricular Activities During Their High School Years A broad extracurricular activities program encourages the social and leadership growth of the student body. Through participation in extracurricular groups, students develop the ability to work together as well as individually. Those students who demonstrate leadership potential are usual- ly elected to positions of responsibility and afforded the opportunity to be leaders. A variety of organizations provide the students with the possibility of pursuing special interest and talents that they may havey If a number of students demonstrate an interest in a particular area, and no club represents that interest, a new organization will be formed. Students are encouraged to participate in at least two organized extracurricular activities during their high school years. Students interested in drama or journalism may participate in all-school productions, the yearbook, or the school newspaper. Civic minded students can become involved in student 0 , govemment which includes Student Council and those committees which are sub-divisions of the council: Human Relations Committee, Cur- riculum Guide Committee, and Registration Committee. Talented students in the field of music, as well as those with more interest than talent, have the opportunity to participate in several music activities-both instrumental and vocal. Service groups, which avail themselves to both school and community, offer one a chance to give of his time and energy in the service of others. Interest groups are very flexible, being formed and disbanned upon student request. The variety and flexibility of the activities program, along with the athletic program, can accommodate any student wishing to become committed, to some degree, in that aspect of East Allegheny life which lies beyond the class- room door and the 2: 15 dismissal.

Human Relations Committee Deals With Controversial Racial Issues Human Relations Committee is formed each year to make recommendations concerning race, religion, sex, age, and national origin, as they relate to the student body. The group, itself, cannot make policies, but can make recom- mendations dealing with dress codes, discipli- nary measures, or curriculum. According to the State Human Relations Committee, it has the responsibility of setting up a definite grievance procedure, social awareness semi- nars, and programs to dispell myths against different ethnic groups. The group is made up of sixteen students and six advisors. Four students, two black and two white, are elected from each class. First row: Miss Briscoe, S.
