Senior Executive Committee ln the opinion of one student, it was a necessary part of life at school. She referred to the Senior Executive Committee, of which she was a member. The committee participated in two money-making projects to raise funds for the senior class. They sold KIMO banners, at a dollar apiece, not only to make money, but to uplift school spirit. They also sold Rubik's cubes, both the large size at 53.50, and the smaller keychains at 33.25. Before Christmas, these seniors made and signed a Christmas card to the student body and put it up in front of the office. The card was decorated with red crepe paper and included Frosty the Snowman, a puppy peeking out of a stocking, and candy canes. In charge of senior class projects, the committee narrowed down the nominations for class song, theme, prom decorations, and colors. They decided the selections Through the Years by Kenny Rogers, Theme from Mahogany by Diana Ross, and Tonight by April Wine would offer the seniors several different musical styles to choose from. Color choices in- cluded the combinations of ice blue and peach, ice blue and burgundy, and mauve and burgundy. The committee staged an assembly for the seniors to give them some idea how each song would sound and describe other choices regarding the prom. Homecoming main obligation more active than officers During April and May, the commit- tee made decorations and other preparations for the senior prom. The Senior Executive Committee consisted of 23 seniors. Members filled out applications at the end of the junior year and the number of students who applied was thought to be about right by the spon- sors, Mrs. Jo Pennington and Mrs. Thelma Hill. Members gave several reasons for wanting ot be on the committee. I wanted to be involved in school ac- tivities my senior year, said Hollie Gallier. It gave me the chance to work with student government. It is my senior year and I'd like the school run the way my friends and I want it, stated Julie Brown. Another group of students, the class officers, participated in student government, too. Duties of officers in- cluded voting on the theme for Homecoming, U50 Years of Ex- cellence, deciding on decorations for the foyer, plus making and storing them for homecoming. Class officers gained their positions by elections held the previous year, for junior and senior officers, and an election in the fall for sophomore officers. ln the Recognition Assembly, senior class officers passed out awards that teachers and club sponsors had chosen for outstanding students.l SENIOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
