Although criticized by some it was very popular. and was tolerated by the administration. Another new element to Mac-Hi was a Rodeo Club, started by two transfer students. Club members hoped to eventually attain varsity sport status for their club. The 25 member team ,began practice in October with an eye on spring, iuterschool competion. Student government, under the guidance of ASB President Roydan Tomlinson, tried to get a student smoking lounge included in the remodel- ing program. The majority of the student body wasn't in favor of the idea and the idea was eventually dropped. g 7 4 . FU'f.....

New attendance policy tried The new attendance policy, which went into effect at the beginning of the year, stated that a student could miss nine days without an excuse, but on the tenth day the student would be removed from class until the circumstances of his absences could be reviewed. The administration found the policy working well fattendance was 25'Zp better than a year beforej. . and expressed faith in the key to the program, namely placing the responsibiltiy in the lap of the students. However, from the students' point of view, the slips sent home on every third, sixth and ninth absence were regarded as confusing and unnecessary because parents im .fr .

Lack of involvement characteristic of '74-'75 student government members Student government staggered through yet another controversial year in '74-'7 5 with the end product being merely a list of uncompleted projects. Among those items which ended up in the obituary column were a student smoking room, radio station, locker 11 room prophylactic dispensers, stud- ent assemblies, and a completed term by the president. The year began in April '74 with one of the strangest elections in Mac- Hi history. With Roydan Tomlinson being the only person to file a peti- tion for office, that of president, it looked as though he would end up running student affairs by himself, a position favored by himself and Principal Bud Down. Much through the work and investigation of former Spirit editor Bill Park, write-in candidates were allowed, and the semi-normal election proceeded. After the smoke. cleared the officers were, president, Roydan Tomlinsong vice-president, Chuck Peaseg sec- retary, Sue Millerg treasurer, Walter Barnes, assistant treasurer, Marie Humbertg ad-man, Loretta Wilsong and rally officer, Lisa Ringer. When students returned to Mac-Hi last fall, Tomlinson wasted no time in proposing two innovative ideas to the student, those of a smoking room and a student run radio station and it looked was government start . The radio station was more or less Tomlinson's own pet project and due to a lack of a place to put it, money to buy the equipment, and interested people to run it, the proposal never got further than casual discussion at a few student council meetings. The smoking room was a bit more controversial in discussion but it too never got further than the draw- ing boards. New ideas sprang to life however, one of which was an Order of M pro- posal to install prophylactic dispen- sers in the locker rooms. Reasons of birth control and prevention of social diseases were cited in favor of the dispensers. Although the student body was in favor of the ma- chines when a vote was taken, the student council representatives took it upon themselves to dismiss the whole project because they were afraid of a negative response from the community and school board after Down stated that he was not in favor of the idea. Many people complained about the lack of assemblies but few did any- thing about it. About two thirds of the way through the school year a group of students composed of Dennis and Mark DeBroeck, Roger Hicks, and Vicki Clark broke loose from the usual run-around, investigated several programs, and came up with some possibilities, many of which were to become realities in '75-'76. The '75-'76 elections proceeded normally after Tomlinson had re- signed in March and Pease had taken over the dx-iver's seat. It was hoped that the fresh, remodeled school would be the basis for a fresh, new active gove rnment.
