We're Working Together At times, it was not clear what those few elected officers did this year. lt all started at the beginning of the year when the student body voted for whom they thought would do the best job for their classes. Soon after the council was completed with four officers and five represen- tatives, the work began. Yes, they did have fun and loads of it at that! Only first, they decided the costs, times, and places for each and every activity. lf there hadn't been a coun- cil, school would just have been classes with no extra activities. Thanks to this group, dances, games. and assemblies were held. An annual blood drive was sponsored by the Inter-City council, which was an event to see which school could give the most blood. Ensenhower won. The lnter-City council was one that represented all the high schools. They met together to discuss problems and new ideas. There were many other ac- tivities accomplished and im- proved by this student council. They helped make a great school year. The Human Relations club was begun years ago to stop the race riots. If anyone had a grievance, they took it to the 17 Human Relations-Student Council STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT DAVID BROWN SCANS the bulletin before making the morning announce- ments. HUMAN RELATION STUDENTS work on the agenda for the next meet- ing. Human Relations members so they could find a solution. Over the years, the club changed its role from problem solver to mo- rale booster. They sponsored dances, sold a variety of items, and held food drives over the past year. With such clubs as these, stu- dents coped well with the every- day problems of school life. They learned about student government and made friends along the way. Their work was well done. KELLY RONNOW, MISSY STONE, and Lcc Ann O'Dell are ex- cited about one of their upcoming pro- jects. .pr .. p43i , A I , 1Qg'n,4,-- 1 I 4 'fir' -4? 1? 2 -Gu ts A.,-4' V

Thespis was the world's first actor. During a festival honoring the god Dion- ysus, Thespis stepped forward from the chorus to speak. This was the beginning of acting in a Tragedy. The symbol for Thespians is two masks flanking a capital The masks are like those used by the ancient Greeks to demonstrate emotions. The masks represent Comedy and Tragedy, the two types of plays performed by the Greeks. The capital T stands for Thespi- Thespians were involved with the plays and musicals put on during the year.
