$ fl rolls out red carpet Broke — that was how the SCA began the year, and how it ended up. By sponsoring a very successful magazine drive in October which enjoyed widespread student partici¬ pation, the SCA earned six thou¬ sand dollars. The money was used to furnish and carpet the hall out¬ side the auditorium as a student lounge. A juke box and coke machine for after-school use also were installed. With the rest of the magazine drive profits, the Student Government hired entertainers for concerts and assemblies. Other projects for the busy Student Council were painting the SCA room passionate pink and chartreuse and sponsoring as¬ semblies for Christmas and the ecological Pitch-I n program. All in all, the active SCA instituted many programs throughout the year, and made and spent six thousand dollars.

Pretty good, huh? Completing its second un¬ defeated season in a row, Mar¬ shall’s cross country team went to the State Meet in Williamsburg as one of the top favorites in the race. Led by juniors Dave Cannon and Dave Watt, in second and sixteenth place, respectively, the Statesmen routed their competition with a low score of ninety-six. Two seniors also closed out their cross country careers on a high note, finishing thirty-fourth and sixty-sixth out of one-hundred eighty-four runners. Coach John Shlogl summed up this year’s team as “superb” and “gutsy”. dm SUN Hi 9 m 9 ' PM ' .] as dn
