Council Aids School and City STUDENT COUNCIL guest speaker, Dr. Manley, and President Randy Knutsen chat before the convocation on history. KCHS Student Council, sponsored by Mr. Charles Morehouse, worked as a link between students and the administration, trying to iron out any problems that arose. They also planned several programs designed to aid and enlighten KCHS’ers. In the fall the council sponsored College Night when representatives from several colleges met with interested students and their parents, briefing them on the costs and facilities of their school. The group also arranged for Dr. Robert Manley from Hiram Scott College to present a convocation on Nebraska and Western history. Throughout the year the council held several money making drives, selling pens and aerosol bottles of mouthwash. In the spring they supervised student elections and helped with a fundraising drive for the Kimball Red Cross. VICE-PRESIDENT Herb Rutz distributes pens at a regular meeting. The pens were sold by members to raise money for the council. 28

Consecutive All-American Rating Keeping the student body informed on KCHS events, the Longhorn Notes staff published their All-American paper bi-weekly. After painstakingly tracking down facts and holding necessary interviews, the 39 staff members used their creativity to transform bits of information into interesting stories. With the help of Mrs. Jane Morehouse, their adviser, and Assistant Editors Susan Heide-mann and Dean Young, Co-editors Katherine O’Brien and Charlotte Anderson edited and typed the stories. Then they had to achieve balanced layouts before the stories could be typed on stencils and be printed on the Gestetner. In November Charlotte, Katherine, and Mrs. Morehouse attended the Nebraska High School Press Convention in Lincoln where their paper was awarded Honorable Mention by the Omaha World Herald. SENIOR REPORTERS Larry Trompke, Mike Anderson. Marja Haapaniemi, Randy Knutsen and Fred Morehouse enjoy their last year on the Notes staff.
