I ' ' -; ' Couples dance to the music of Mrs. Enid Scott and ensemble. Nola Reed and Larry Snyder reigned as Queen and King at the Sweetheart Dance. After a draw- ing they were crowned by Babette Miller and Dick Funderburg, last year ' s royal couple. SPREADS CHEER With a Song in My Heart was the theme of the dance. In carrying out this theme, a large red shining heart at the head of the dance floor bore the title With a Song In My Heart, in silver glitter. Each couple en- tered the dance floor in the commercial room through a large red heart. Stars, red and white cupids. along with many different shapes and sizes of hearts accented the red and white crepe paper decorations. One of the special dances of the evening was a broom dance in which a decorated broom was passed from one escort to another in exchange for a partner. Refreshments were served at small tables in the adjoining room. Ruth Ann Thomas was chairman of the dec- orating committee which spent many hours planning and putting up decorations. Shown here are Mr. and Mrs. Hinton, chaperones. Also chaperoning were Mr. and Mrs. Sharp. 25

The direct way which the students have of expressing their views and ideas about possible school improvements and functions is through the Student Council. Each grade appoints two of its members to serve as rep- resentatives at the council meetings held each month. They discuss with other repre- sentatives problems and needed improve- ments that confront the school and suggest to the school officials possible action that can be taken. Mr. Crum was chosen as this year ' s faculty advisor for the group. One of the major functions of the council is the selection of assembly programs for the coming term. This year ' s programs were both entertaining and educational. Roanoke students are pleased with the fine democratic way in which they are able to have representation on matters coming before the school. They are proud of the rec- ord of past achievements and hope that in the future many benefits, both to the school and students, will develop through this organiza- tion. Officers Diane Latta, Jerry Simmons, and La- Mar Swaidner admire a Student Council project of stoning the school driveway.
