THEY RULE WITH CONFIDENCE Standing under the Christmas dec- orations are the members of the L.H.S. Student Council. Their two main activities are the planning of Homecoming and the Christ- mas Party. The week preceding Septem- ber 19th was an especially busy one for them. They arranged the week's activities starting with a bonfire, snake dance, and movie on Thursday night. Friday's activ- ities began with a Kangaroo court, and included a parade, football game, and dance. As the clock struck 12, the festivities concluded with the coronation of our king and queen. On December 24, they also sponsored the annual Christmas party which includ- ed the exchanging of gifts and a movie, which was a Christmas gift of the high school faculty. A new project of the Student Council this year was the Saving Stamps program. The members of the Council, together with Mr. Schemp were busy distributing stamps and collecting the money for the stamps from the graders. Student Council members standing from left to right are: freshmen, Leland Feickert, David Harris; seniors, Sharon Gehring, David Feickert, President Imo- gene Smolnisky; Vice-President Robert Kaul; Secretary and Treasurer Carol Hilgemann; juniors, Ronald Opp, Gwen Schock; sophomores, Jerry Sandmeier, and Dixie Kamm. The junior high mem- bers are John Zacher, Elmer Smolnisky, Cindy Greeno, and Pamela Zantow. The legislating branch of our school system is the Board of Education.

Members of the board are Oscar Schilling, Irvin Kulm, Oliver Turnwall, Dr. Schnaidt, Albert Berreth, president; and Frank Serfoss, clerk.
