Realizing that an effective student government must have a close relationship with hoth students and faculty, the Council has worked to bring this about. ulider representation has been secured hy increasing the number of home- room representatives from one to two. .Xnotlier innovation has been the open meeting at which certain problems were thrashed out among all the students and new ideas and opinions were expressed. Meetings of representatives of the Student Council and faculty have created a better understanding. enabling them to work together more efficiently. In the area of service to the school the Student Council has set up the Key Club, which has already proven very successful. Its members have acted Tern Scanne Pa' C-rfan, Robert She den. Judy Eder Kathy Short- ail, Jim Beardslev, Jen Gratran, Ann Marrav Jai, Cnaslres Jack Brozlts, Barbara Bailcey, Jane Laniaan, Bernie R:oer's, Terry ni 'ir-'SR' A A A Voclcrs. as hosts and guides at the College Conference and Open llouse and as ushers for school plays. It has also worked out a system for seating the student body quickly and in orderly fashion at assemblies. A big help to the school community has been the Hole in the Xvallu. the Student Council Store yvhere paper, pencils, and other items may he purchased. The Honor System has been adopted by many classes. lt has encouraged individual responsibility, so necessaiy to our democratic society. This year has certainly been a husv one. The Student Council's success has been due not only to its very capable officers and its adviser, Mr. Lawler. but also to a most cooperative student body.
