Student Association in Session D Howard Rasch reports to the Student Association Council on the progress of an athletic publicity enterprise during a regular Monday morning session of the SA. These meetings are held weekly in Room B during the third hour, with President Bob Isaacson presiding. Student problems and wishes are brought up before the Council at these meetings and, when possible, they are discussed and voted on promptly. Otherwise a committee is appointed to investigate. One outstanding undertaking this past semester was 'iUncle Harry's Hopf a record dance following the Thespian play 'gllncle Harry. Another achievement of the SA recently has been some much needed amendments to the constitution, adapting it to administrative changes. The Board of Education's decision to withdraw HP from the Metropolitan Athletic League was greatly influenced by an SA-sponsored poll, taken last semester, which came out in favor of this action. Now, the SA has been working on the cementing of relationships with outstate schools as well as neighboring ones. The Cabinet, not shown, represents the top 13 of the Council, which in turn represents the school. Of its 13 members, mostly committee heads, nine are president-appointed, the others elected. These four include President Isaacson, Vice-President Armand Ouellette, Secretary Reta Schubot, and Treasurer Pete Benenati.
