Student Council Engages In Many Projects This year Franklin ' s student council con- sisted of thirty-two members, including president Dave Burns; vice-president Don Sherman: and secretary Sally Shepler. All the members of the council took as part of their responsibilty the setting of standards for dress and behavior. The purpose of the student council is to give a better relation- ship between students and teachers. The members asked advice and passed on the feelings of the student body. Members served as chairmen or as mem- bers of various committees appointed by the officers to work on various projects through- out the year. The council worked on the constitution which will be put to use in the years to come for the student body. Two peo- ple that worked very hard to make the stu- dent council worth while were Miss Shaner and Mr. Mathias. The council instituted a new project this year which was the selection of a citizen of the month. Each classroom had a citizen of the month box where the students could put their votes for the person that they felt was worthy. The officers of this year ' s student council discuss the approaching meeting of the student council for which many plans must be made. These are the hard working students who were cho- sen to represent the other members of their home- rooms at weekly student council meetings. Part of representative responsibility was to report to his class the new and old business that was discussed at the meeting.

Post Staff Works Long Hours On Issues These are the members of the Post staff who have done all of the work that goes into putting out a very good newspaper. The various editors of the Post are the people who organize the production of the paper. They then dis- tributed the work to the staff. The Post Staff has worked very hard this year putting cut their four page newspaper. The staff met on Tuesday of each week un- der the supervision of Mrs. Lawrence. She directed the staff and helped the new mem- bers with their grammar, punctuation and writing style. All of this was a good experi- ence for the members and resulted in a good paper. Staff members could be seen in the halls with pencils and paper ready to conduct an opinion poll or interview a teacher or student teacher about his various experiences. Other members of the staff counted headlines and pasted galleys on the make-up sheets which were then sent to the printer. The last pro- cedure in the production of the paper was the folding of hundreds of papers. The paper was distributed on the fourth Wednesday of the month. l %%if Ifc V ,: ...
