Maybe Last HW Mac-Hi's second rock concert and first of this year came off amid confusion and high hopes. The concert scheduled for a Wednesday evening, was first disrupted by a Friday cancellation of a band called Big Horn, which was originally scheduled. A Mississippi group touring the Northwest was finally scheduled to fill in. A second mix up came when Blue John had not arrived until later after the 4:30 expected check-in time. Principal Bud Down inter- rupted the performance of Mad Dog, the local starting band at 7:45 to annoimce that Blue John hadn't arrived and offered people their money back. After refunding some seventy dollars, Blue John's manager walked in and the concert was on again. Bud although dismayed with the drinking and smoking that went on supported the concert as a student ac- tivity. The 450 who stayed got a show packed with the solid beat of Mad Dog and the fantastic blues of Blue John's piano, harmonica, and rhythms.

ASB staggered through the year. Progress was not the keynote of student government this year but whether there was any interference with the goal of increased student power will remain to be seen in '75. A major rallying point of student government has been the creation of a student lounge. The matter was finally out of student hands and placed in the remodeling plans. However, it was scheduled for the last phase of construction. Spiraling building costs threatened to cut it from the program and at best it was still two years away. Student Finance Committee gained control of S4500 but a disappointing rock concert, a rift over subsidiz- ing athletics and Principal Bud Downs veto power made much of their influence tokenistic. They did manage to set precedence in aid- ing a number of student groups though, including the cheerleaders and yearbook. Student Council was extremely listless and without strong leader- ship they seldom carried anything through.

Vice president Roydan Tomlinson carried on and was the only one to petition in the disorganized April elections. A push by SPIRIT editors Bill Park a.nd Mark Miller provided a write-in campaign that saved ASB offices from becoming a total chaos. Treasurer Liz McDevitt resigned her office in January because of an over-work load and was replaced by Walter Barnes.
