Students Begin Selfj-Qovennment Since there was no Student Co¬ operative Association during our first year, a Steering Committee was set up to organize student activities. One person was elected from each Junior English class to serve on this committee. However, as the year pro¬ gressed and student activities in¬ creased, the committee grew from these original six to fourteen. The Steering Committee’s first project was the Magazine Campaign, which was the school’s first organized group activity. School Spirit was greatly aroused as the students worked together. This committee also started the Safety Council and sponsored the Clean-up Campaign. Seated: Pat Watson, Peggy Kimberlin, Mrs. James, Schmidtlein, Carlson Becker, Paul Dove, and Duff Cogar. Paul Dove, chairman, opens all assemblies. Tom Hill meets frequently with homeroom representatives. Adviser, and Tom Hill. Standing: Jim The Steering Committee grew. Seated: Jill Arneson, Pat Quigley, Ed Ryder, Peggy Kimberlin, Paul Dove, Mrs. James, and Becky Turner. Standing: Pat Watson, Carlson Becker, Doug Kopp, Duff Cogar, Tom Hill, and Doris Lilly. The Constitution for the S.C.A. was approved by the Student Body after being written by the steering committee. An election was organized by the Steering Committee for the S.C.A. officers for 1957-1958. This organization will assume the work of the Steering Committee.

Uhe 3iut Uiqenama YEARBOOK CLUB AND STAFF At the beginning of the year, thirty-five students were chosen from the applicants to put out the first edition of the yearbook, under the sponsorship of Miss Morris. The club’s first project was an Ad Drive. This helped all the yearbook members to get better acquainted with each other and learn to work together. An en¬ tertaining kick-off assembly was held in January to arouse inter¬ est among all the students in naming and purchasing the book. During the same week individ¬ ual class pictures were taken. In celebration of our suc¬ cessful Ad Drive a spaghetti dinner was held in the Home Economics Department. After supper a business meeting was held during which yearbook members selected twelve names from a long list which had been submitted by those who pur¬ chased books. Later the staff selected the winning name, Ti jerama. Our second social affair was a picnic held at the home of Crellin James, to pro¬ vide entertainment and relaxa¬ tion after sending the first half of the book to press.
