We have caught these ambitious-looking members of the SHB in a temporary pose of working, though Dick looks as though he doesn't intend to keep at it for long! On December 9, the SQB sponsored a Chili Feed, which turned out to be a great success. The Board was en- couraged by the general cooperation received. The Student Hdvisory Board super- vised the Holiday Prom, which was held on December 22. Qt this time two Belles and a Beau were crowned. Stu- dents danced to the music ot Sam lean Nelson. Lloyd Taber and Phyllis Hartman are enjoying their pleasant task of decorating the Christmas tree donated by the SHB. Donaly's Band, and the evening was enjoyed by everyone. The cooperation of the students with the SHB contributed much toward mak- ing Kearney l-ligh a better school the past year. These Iunior members of SHB and Mr. Ninegar are really going to miss Pat Volsteadt next year. She left at the semester after working in the Senior High Office for two and a halt years. 5 2 t 2 .E ui
