] Politicoes in the making STUDENT ADMINISTRATION I--------------------------------------------- J 1 1 } 1 1 1 FACULTY STUDENT COUNCIL — If there are any shady politics going on in school, it can he traced directly to the Faculty Student Council, for it is there that the politicians and bureaucrats of the school congregate. Under the leadership of Neil Will, however, the council has this year been notably free from log-rolling practices. The council got its business underway with a double-barreled plan to erect a war memorial and provide relief for the badly battered trophy cases. During the course of events Mayor Will found himself slightly handicapped by the disappear- ance of numerous constitutional amendments and minutes of previous meetings. This, however, proved to be of little concern to the politicians who generally are concerned only with the future and have scant regard for the past; a committee was dispatched to look into matters. Seeing the need for a clean school, the council took the initiative and began building fires under people. Before long their efforts were rewarded by sparkling windows and bright walls. Assisting the mayor at meetings first semester were Bob Sharpe, vice-chairman; Helen Walldorff, secretary; and Tom Feldpausch, treasurer. Second semester Dorotha Smith served as vice-chairman; Norma Robinson, secretary; and Frank Whitworth took over as treasurer. Vonda Webb was en- trusted with the athletic cash box for the year. GIRLS LEAGUE BOARD —The Girls League Board had an unusually active season, boosting the girls in school to even higher goals. The Board sponsored a girls’ mixer at the be- ginning of the year to acquaint us with the new freshies and vice-versa. Also in September the board sponsored noon dancing in the gym and each member did well in selling adult season tick- ets for the football game. Another job well done was the Junior Red Cross drive. In October the undivided attention of the girls was held by an assembly brought by the Hastings Women’s club. The program was on good groom- ing and consisted of demonstrations of cosmetic techniques, hair styling, and fashion suggestions. This was considered one of the most interesting and enjoyable assemblies of the year. It was so successful that the board planned another style show to be given in the late spring. November saw the first school dance of the year, when the board sponsored the Turkey Trot. The school desperately needed a lounge for the girls, so our board diligently cleaned and changed the little room backstage to a comfortable girls’ rest room. Officers guiding the Board through the year were Norma Hollister, president; Vonda Webb, vice-president; Marilyn Hammond, secretary; and Phyllis Sheffield, treasurer. Mrs. Underwood was adviser the first semester. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY — The National Honor Society is an organi- zation founded to give recognition to those students who have maintained a high degree of character, leadership, service, and especially scholarship throughout their attendance in high school. Members are chosen by a faculty committee from those juniors and seniors who have achieved a “B” average and have shown themselves outstanding leaders in school. To give further encouragement to high scholastic achievements, the Society sends a card of acknowledgement to all those students who have made top honors at the end of each semester. A Fortnight is produced by the group and distributed on the first day of school in the fall in order to acquaint new students with some of the procedures of the school and provide old students with news of late happenings and a chuckle or two. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY — Standing — Mr. Taylor, sponsor, A. McDonald, N Will, A. Bennetr, C. Dolan, A. Rider, R. Groos, R. Cordes, L. Foster, R. Knopf, R. Spillanc, R. E. Taylor, C. Moore, J. Cooper. Seated — P. Ritrman, B. Welton, M. Wcnsloff, N. Hollister, N. Robinson, V. VC’cbb, F. Foote, D. Bower, N. Ashdon, P. Wcdel, N. Nielsen, D. Smith, M. Hammond, M. McDonald.

I I [ BOYS UNION COUNCIL — After a heated campaign which saw Doug Carrigan elected presi- dent, Jack Slocum, vice-president, and Lee Christ- iansen, sergeant-at-arms, the newly chosen mem- bers of the Boys Union Council flocked to have their picture taken. While exposing their rugged profiles to the camera, adviser Taylor described the aims of the organization in glowing terms. Enthusiasm was running high as the members de- parted to carry the gospel to the far ends of the school. The first meeting was fired with a desire ALL SCHOOL OFFICERS—Ken Smith, Traffic Man- ager.

It would seem that the members considered themselves such a fine collection of “Big Wheels” that further effort to increase their prestige was unnecessary. And so saying, they sat back in their chairs in the finest bureaucratic man- ner and regarded their somewhat dubious, but nevertheless unique, season: no runs, no hits, but, on the consoling side, no errors.
