As elected representatives of the student body, the Stu- dent Council works diligently to promote a closer student- teacher relationship and to encourage students to strive for higher scholastic attain- ments. Good school spirit and co-operation are other objec- tives of the Council. At the beginning of the year, student officers busily registered new students and appointed ‘Big Sisters and Brothers’’ to help orient them. Jubilant fans screaming for more points added zest for the “Hounds to race down the field ahead of their opponents at football games. After a hard-fought victory over cross- town rival, Reynolds, the ‘Hounds became Western AAA, District V, conference champions and gained the state finals. During the last four years the Grayhounds have defeated the Black De- mons twice.

Lively chatter and broad smiles could be seen every- where. Now that Gray had become a three-year senior high, no puzzled freshmen ap- peared. Soon schedules were distributed, books assigned, and classes begun, with great enthusiasm among the stu- dents. As students discov- ered who their new teachers and classmates were to be, excitement reigned.

Students congregate in the halls, at lockers, and in small groups throughout the cam- pus to discuss the game of the previous night, the hap- penings of the day, and the events that lay ahead. Throughout the day, a warm atmosphere is evident among the student body. Smiles and understanding glances from one to another symbo- lize the close friendships that prevail at Gray. With heads bowed, we rev- erently began each morning with the Minute of Prayer. After hurried conversations and the dash to classes, we paused during these calm mo- ments to ask for guidance in our studies and various activ- ities. Strengthened by this new assurance, we quickly settled to another day and ap- plied this added confidence in order to improve our skills.
