student council innovates By working diligently, the 1965-66 MHHS Student Council proved to be an active and efficie it student governing body. Under the watchful eye of Peter Drumm, Student Council president, the student representatives successfully carried out several original, interesting programs for the betterment of the school. Working in close contact with the entire student organization, the various Student Council committees planned the details of these projects. Under the leadership of the Student Council, the 1965 Homecoming was one of the most colorful in the school’s history. After the game, the council sponsored a soc-hop honor¬ ing the Homecoming Queen and her court. In addition to its normal responsibilities, this year’s Student Council saw fit to initiate such new programs as the Student of the Month Award and, at Christmas time, the Penny Postage mail system to raise money for the needy people in Anderson. Also at Christ¬ mas time, the governing group decorated the school to reflect the true spirit of Christ’s birth. The week before the basketball sectional, the Student Council sponsored Scarlet and Black Week to help arouse the enthusiasm of all MHHS students. The Student Council gives everyone an opportunity to partic¬ ipate in the democratic form of government that is so im¬ portant to the well-being of all future generations.
