Student Life The key to life at Ferguson and a picture of the student joining clubs, making friends, and participating in sports and in dramatic productions is a part of Student Life. Cathy Jaehnig’s reign as the ’69 Miss Mariner, Joe Howe’s election as SCA President, and Student Participation Day reflect the uniqueness of this year. Student Life, however, is more than just the glorious moments of individuals; it is pride developed through student involvement. The results of these many activities become evident through the applause at a plav, the fine showing of school spirit at a sports event, the production of Stunt Night to net $750, and the support of the HELM to keep it out of the hole. There are many humorous aspects to Student Life, too, such as learning the “advantages” of applying a neck tourniquet in health class as well as the upsets of having the stage condemned by the fire department and trying to beat the five minute break with a seven minute cigarette! Student Life captures the footprints of individuals involved in their school.
