iran!!-5 Stff, We C'lwAe 010' leade As we approached convention time, a person walking down the hall risked stumbling over fallen posters or being stuck by pins with ribbons attached. Une might hear such phrases as lf l could only find a place to hang this banner, or, l just don't know who to vote for, they're both my very best friendsl But, finally, the convention day arrived. lnstructed dele- gates, representing each class- room, were seated in the central section of the auditorium, Pro- cedure followed exactly the na- tional political conventions, with a convention chairman who kept proceedings running smoothly. Frequent caucuses were al- lowed when candidates and man- agers could attempt to capture votes. Delegations were polled until two candidates were nom- inated for each ASB. office. Many of the races were very close as the balloting continued, and the cheering of the gallery reflected the excitement of the event. 23

dal Borg Counc 'I The Student Council, consisting of sixty members each semester, discussed, planned and worked on our many activities: athletic awards, twirp week, Associated Student Body conven- tion, and election of cheer and song leaders. The first semester representatives were elected from second period classs, but, due to unsatisfactory contact with student ideas, a new system was derived. This system elected representa- tives from academic subjects, so teachers would give them time in class for discussion of council meetings. The council took a big part in the California Association of Student Councils by sending delegates to all their meetings at other schools, This gave students a chance to meet new friends and learn all about student governments. Money, collected from the sale of A.S.B. cards, was used by the council to help pay for such things as prizes given for A.S.B. activities and insurance for school athletes. Many new thoughts on school doings were brought up in the Student Council and then carried out by its members for the benefit of the school. Many had a hand in the decorating, early Saturday morning, to prepare for the Get-Acquainted Dance at Stan Nichols, varsity football captain, unfurls, for the 8:30 pm. We found booths of all sorts, crepe paper first time, our orange and black victory flag. With each of all colors, and bright balloons adding to the festive major sports triumph, it could be seen flying atop the north- three-ring circus theme. west corner of the auditorium. -' ---- t si -wg :gf ss Y K . s i X x c tsss S A X . tg f N, Q.. ni' Q.
