Although tests posed multitudi- nous problems, students smiled during finals, assured that the year had finally come to a close. Elections, Banquets End School Year MHS ' ers basked in sun and 60-degree weather early in the year, but snow returned in February to disil- lusion hopes for an early spring. Juniors rehearsed for Alas, Babylon, and wrote letters of application for positions on the Miskodeed and Alltold staffs. Many underclassmen took advantage of favorable weather to take driver ' s tests, plan picnics, and hold club meetings out-of-doors. Student Council and num- erous club elections made students hit the campaign trail with promises, pledges, and pleas. Seniors were busy, too. While a few graduated in January, the majority counted the days to spring va- cation and June 5. Entrance and achievement tests crowded college-bound seniors ' days as college dreams came just a few steps closer to becoming a reality. The classrooms of trade, business, and beauty schools were also popular choices of MHS ' ers. Boys checked out deferment possibilities or enlisted in the armed services, while girls possessing engagement rings turned their thoughts toward summer weddings. School activities became more formal as banquets and recognition dinners filled the calendar. Music and choral students assisted with the Pre-Easter ser- vices and produced their own May Festival. Dress-up Day and Class Day provided a chance for upperclass- men to display their acquired status and numerous awards.

Co-Operation Marks Council Year Under the leadership of officers Dave Nevel, Presi- dent; Kathy Hillaert, Vice-President; Roger Brady, Treasurer; and Mary Ann Pechi, Secretary; the Student Council accomplished a year of service to Mishawaka High School. In August, before school began, mem- bers of Student Council helped at the Freshman Orientation Day by guiding tours for the new stu- dents. Representatives promoted and sold Miskodeeds and Student Directories in their sponsor rooms. At Homecoming and Mid-Semester the Council sponsored dances, two of the biggest events of the school year. Both dances were opened to former students and to dates who attended other schools. A large crowd at- tended each dance. The Council helped support the American Field Service Program by financially aiding our guest from another country and our student traveler. Each year the flag of the foreign student has been purchased to fly with the American flag. This year the Council bought the flag of Malaysia, honor- ing the country of exchange student Suhaila Sham- suddin. After entertaining the student body during the second semester with a Student-Faculty basketball game and a Hootenanny, the Council presented the school with an annual gift. Spring found some juniors seeking Student Council offices. Candidates prepared petitions, campaigns with posters, and platform speeches. Foreign Exchange Student Suhaila Shamsuddin and Student Council Vice-President Kathy Hilleart discuss plans for the spring AFS drive.
