Keeping that purpose in mind, the Student Council has sponsored several worth-while projects this year. 1 . The Boys' Recreation Program, on which the Student Council of 1955-'56 re- ceived the R. K. Oliver Citizenship Award, was continued this year. 2. The President, secretary, and sponsor attended the Missouri Association of Student Council's Workshop last summer at Columbia. 3. Two committees appointed for the interest of the Student Body were the Ethics committee which took care of appointing students to meet the visiting teams and of- ficialsg and the Scrapbook committee which is in charge of keeping a scrapbook of all school activities. 4. Another project sponsored by the Council was the issuing of activity tickets to the student body which admits them to all school sponsored events. 5. Following the Chillicothe game, the Student Council gave a sock hop for the visiting team, students and fans. A good time was had by all.

6. The Student Council devised a new method of electing the Homecoming Queen and her attendants. The change was made in or- der to give all students a chance to vote. The crowning of the Queen was the highlight of the dance, and bracelets were given to the Queen and each attendant. 7. A short narration on the purposes of Student Council was the highlight of the Student Council Installation. The members and officers were installed by Mr. Knapp. The inaugural address was given by the president, Leo Bentele. 8. In keeping with the Christmas spirit, the Council undertook Operation Snowman . The Council committee under the direction of ' Miss Rose Anne Wray, cut and painted a family of snowmen and placed them on the front lawn. The Council also once more sponsored the Christmas door decorations. 9 . To get the second semester off to a good start, the Council decided to have an All-School Dance with a Valentine's theme. Since some students hesitate about dancing, it was decided to have a movie and a tea room in order that everyone will have an enjoyable evening. 10. The administration gave the Council the problem of poor conduct at games. Monitors were appointed to regulate traffic in the halls . 11. This year for the first time, the Student Council sponsored The World Clothing Drive. This drive is sponsored in order to gather clothes for distribution in foreign lands. 12.
