SCA PROVIDING YEAR 1 Student involvement. This was what the Student Cooperative Association planned for. Organized with officers, class repre- sentatives. and committee chairmen, all students had ample opportunity for input in the planning. Starting off with a bang, the SCA sponsored a concert by Free Fare, a talented young band. Also included in the fall activities was Spirit Week, a week full of contests between the classes, such as the poster con- test and the yelling contest. Pep rallies were arranged on after- noons before football games. During the holiday season, each first period class collected canned food and money for the Salvation Army. They also decor- ated doors for the Christmas contest. Prizes were given to the class with the best door or the most cans. A student teacher basketball game was held with cost of ad- mission being a can of food. An auction was also held with buying power going to those with many cans of food. Early in the spring the SCA sponsored the return engage- ment of Eugene Rowley, artist in residence. Mr. Rowley toured the school and lectured on his art in special planned lectures. The newsweek contest began. This was an excellent chance for all the artist in the school to exhibit their hidden talents. As the year progressed, so did the SCA. Spring brought bright smiles and warm days. Graduation was finally in sight. But the SCA wanted to finish with a Bang, they once again held the annual spring concert, attracting a large part of the student body. The largest physical contribution made by the SCA was the purchase of a new marquee facing Christopher Lane.
