Ronnie Munn, professional trampoline expert, and his wife perform at a school assembly. Determination was the key to the success of this year’s Student Council. Nothing proved insurmountable. 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. Fritz Thwaites, Treasurer; Glenda Dawson, Secretary; Alice Montgomery, President; Doug Johnson, Vice President. Mr. Burch makes plans with the homecoming representatives. Noon Hour and School Improvement Committees meet jointly. 27

Honor Society Takes Strides Forward Honor Society members Kris Reis and Sandy Horrocks show the variety of books offered at the book store to Evan Mac-Farlane and Don Hemingsen. The National Honor Society completed its sixth year of service. This year Mrs. Gladys Lehman has served as advisor. Officers include president, Terry Johnson; vice president, Bob North; secretary, Cheryl Edwards; treasurer, Linda Kruger; and student council representative, Anne Kopchick. Operating the bookstore was a major activity of the club. The bookstore was open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Members supervised the sale of books in their free time. A wide variety of literature was offered at the bookstore this year, ranging from the popular “Peanuts” series to many classics. The club also participated in supervising a noon-hour study room. For the first time the club presented a fifty dollar scholarship to one of its members. A goal achieved by the National Honor Society was the re-establishment of the National Junior Honor Society. A banquet was given by the National Honor Society on December 12, 1967. New members were initiated at this banquet. Qualifications sought in members of the National Honor Society are character, citizenship, leadership, service, and a 3.00 scholastic average. Front Row: L. Kreugar. C. Edwards, A. Kopchick. T.
