Annual Staff STANDING: Left To Right, D. Charles Pinkerton, Advisor; Don McConnell, Assistant Editor; SEATED: John H. Owens, Business Manager; Gail Landess, Editor. The annual staff chosen last fall was very unaware of the work we were in for. We had annual orders available at the Harvest Festival and the F.H. A. Variety Show. The class sold advertisements in September and subscriptions in February and March. We began by taking individual pictures last fall, planning the layout for the pages, having group pictures of the organizations and pictures of the various activities. After the pictures were returned to us we began the actual gluing in of the pictures and the final work toward sending the pages to the company for printing. It has been a lot of work, but it was worth it. The purpose of our student newspaper is to give a first hand account of all student activities that take place throughout the school year. The news is written by the reporters of the classes and organizations and turn- ed in to the editor, Judy Johnson. The paper is then edited. Sometimes it is printed outside the school, but most of the time it is printed by the staff who write the news and sold to the students for 5(5. All the students look forward to each paper. The paper is published once a month. Our school paper is one of the best in the county for which the staff is to be con- gratulated.

STANDING: Mr. Feigerle, Student Council As the main project this year, the student council sponsored a drive to raise money to pay for the evergreens which we purchased early in the fall of the year. The boys of the agricultural classes planted the trees around the schoolhouse and yard. The trees added much to the appearance of the schoolhouse and yard. In December, during the Christmas vacation, we sponsored the Homecoming Dance for which we decorated the Gym. The student council is made up of two members from each class in high school. The class from which the president is elected is entitled to elect an additional member. F.F.A. boys plant shrubs purchased by Student Council. 19
