STUDENT COUNCIL The Hoopeston Rotary donated stand in background to Student Council whose members sold refreshments at games. OFFICERS: Alan Goodrich - President Steve Banjamin - Vice President Lucia Anderson - Secretary Helen Anderson - Treasurer 30 The Student Council is the central organi- zation of the activities at Hoopeston High School. Our first activity of the year, home- coming, helped to arouse the spirit at H. H. S., and also proved to be one of the highlights of the school year. The Hoopeston Rotary Club very graciously contributed a new concession stand which became a great asset to the council throughout the football season. The Christmas season soon followed in our list of activities with Mr. S t a 11 i n s, our chemistry and physics teacher, exhibiting his tremendous talents by assisting the council with the school decorations. The peak of our Christmas activities was reached during the dance with the crowning of the queen, the Snow Queen. Next on the agenda, the Student Council combined forces with the Hoopeston Parent-Teachers’ Association, and the American Field Service to secure funds for the American Field Service Program. The Chicken Supper, sponsored by the P. T. A., and the Carnival, sponsored by the Student Council, proved to be very successful with the total re- ceipts of $850.00. The council, in cooperation with the Letterman's Club and the Dramatics Club initiated a plan to purchase a marquee for the school building. The sign was received and definite plans were made for its display. Our next event was the Honor Banquet for the honor students and faculty members. The evening was climaxed by the movie ’’Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The year 1963-64 was brought to a close with our final assembly program which offered farewells to the Senior Class and to our foreign exchange student from South Af- rica, Penny Gloag.
