RUSSELL LEEPER, industrious president of the Student Council, has brought about many worthwhile activities. He is also active in other campus affairs. PLECTED BY POPULAR vote in April, the Stu- dent Council holds power from May until the same time during the next school year. Entrusted with the governing of 4,000 students, the nine members of the Council occasionally dis- cipline students who violate laws stated in the Student Governing Association constitution, although that task usually falls to the Council vice-president. Other activities of the Council were the sponsor- ing school pep, including pep rallies and free shows, S.G.A. varsities, and a celebrity series that brought outstanding entertainers to the campus. Council members this year included Russell Leeper, president; Bob Kauifman, vice-president; Ethel Haller, secretary; June Darby, Joe Redmond, Betty Higdon, Jim Stockman, Rex Cudney, and Bill Beezley. Students consider it a high honor to be elected to membership on the Student Council, and political bat- tles ensue at every election. DISCUSSING PLANS for some needed reforms are Student Council members {lejt to right, around table) Bill Beerley, Rex Cudney, Jim Stockman, Bob Kauff- man, Russ Leeper, Ethel Haller, June Darby, Joe Red- mond, and Betty Higdon.
