Student Council Student Council elections were held at the be- ginning of the school year. Anyone could try out by presenting a speech to the student body contain- ing reasons for their desire to join the club. The student body then held a popular vote, electing two members of each class to the organization. The class presidents automatically became members. This year the Pep Club was incorporated into the Student Council: the Pep Club was dissolved and the Student Council assumed their duties. Eileen Shaughnessy, president of the Pep Club, and Steve Jansen, vice-president, became members of the Student Council to promote the Pep Club's interests. The school Christmas tree, donated by Homer Eden, was felled and decorated by the Student Council. The Thanksgiving Dance and the Carrie Stanley Scholarship Dance were held to raise money for the Carrie Stanley Scholarship. The Scholarship Dance was held on April first with the Children of Darkness furnishing the music.
