Organizations Each year, Ionia High School witnesses more and more students surging through its halls. With more students each year, there are more widely diversified areas of interest. Ionia High School students are fortunate in that they are offered such a great variety of activities to participate in; there is a club for practically every person’s particular taste. Athletes, students with professional goals, students with professional goals, students interested in contributing service to the school, and students with high scholastic ability can fulfill their interests by joining or gaining acceptance into the many clubs and organizations at IHS. More and more, clubs arc being formed each year to meet the growing demands of the student body. This year, two clubs, the Ski Club and the Chess Club were organized for interested students. 25

The accomplishments of the three major commit-tees-activities, school improvement, and noon hour-surpassed those of any in past years. The activities committee expressed outstanding creativity in preparing its successful 1967 Homecoming. Something new in the form of a student-faculty board, challenged the fortitude of the school improvement committee. A successful noon hour study room was one project of the noon hour committee along with the expansion of the intramural sports program. Profits were gained in a number of traditional ways including the always festive carnival and through the sale of IHS bumper stickers. Many problems were placed before and taken care of by the Council. Among these were the replacement of the gymnasium P.A. system equipment, and doing away with the littering, loitering, and damages in the halls. Through the combined efforts of the officers and representatives, the 1967-68 Student Council has taken another step toward the betterment of both the school as a whole, and the attitudes toward the school. Two clubs, the Chess Club and Ski Club, were formed by the council. Officers were Alice Montgomery, president; Doug Johnson, vice president; Glenda Dawson, secretary; Fritz Thwaites, treasurer.
