In Harmony High it is made possible through the Student Council which, although yet in its early stages of perfection, has come a long way since it was first organized in 1946. During this second year of its growth the Council entered into numerous projects, all of which were successfully carried through. The main accomplishment this year was the buying of caps and gowns which will be kept in school and rented from the Council for any purpose desired. This project will continue over a period of several years until they are all paid for. The advisor to the Council was Mr. Kenney and the group consisted of twelve students chosen by vote from the various classes which they represented. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY: Seated (left to right)—Jo Anne Tollefson. Mari-lynn Anderson, Carmen Elton. Standing, Second Row—Robert Jones. Leland Fairbanks, Neil Haugerud. The National Honor Society, whose members are chosen annually by a faculty committee, this year included six students from the Senior class. The number of members cannot exceed 20% of the total class enrollment and they are chosen on the basis of scholarship, service, leadership and character. During the course of time that has lapsed since the first National Honor Society in Harmony High there have been nine boy and eighteen girl members chosen from Senior classes. Faculty committee members who selected the candidates were: Miss Noltimier, Mr. Carlson, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Kenney and Superintendent Anderson. The candidates were formally initiated and presented with pins at the annual NHS banquet.

DISTRICT DECLAM WINNERS FROM HARMONY AND REGIONAL DECLAM ENTRIES. On the opposite page are pictures of the Senior and Junior High cheerleaders chosen by the student body at the tryouts in September. The cheerleaders were all new this year with the exception of Erik Ellingson who has been in for two consecutive years. The other senior high cheerleaders are Bonnie Knutson and Avis Nolan. The junior high pep-injec-tors” worked under these three and were: Elrayne Ryan, Helen Harstad and Juanita Haugerud. Besides planning countless yells and skits, these six led the student body at all the football, basketball and pre-game pepfests. May our appreciation of the fine job they did not go unsaid. Fifteen rahs for the cheerleaders—Hip Hip—!' From the twenty speech students that entered the local declam contest ten won. These ten advanced to the Subdistrict Contest in Wykoff, held on March 12th.
