THE SURVEYOR Joe Brown, our very efficient editor and Billy Gee, assistant editor examine pic- tures to meet the March 10 deadline. The Yearbook was planned and the dummy was drawn during the summer months. Our final layout was received during September and thus the work began. Games and activities kept the photographers and editors busy. Barbara Chambers, typing editor supervises copy done by typists Margaret Deacon, Jackie Rogerson, and Gloria Dunn. Shirley Lester, advertising manager assists Don Cromley, ass istant copy editor and Frank Scott, assistant advertising manager to secure ads for our new yearbook. This year we had four separate deadlines. Two before Christmas and two afterward. The snow delayed us and photography mishaps caused retakes and worry. Typists, editors, and photographers really rushed to meet the final deadline. We made it! The rest is now up to the publishing company and the circulation manager.

Pat- terned after our National Gov-|lo« ernment, we have represent- | atives who are elected from each I home room in the school. Two senators are elected by each class and the cabinet is appointed by the president. A coordinating body, also appointed by the president, has as its job to serve as a go-between for student gov- ernment and the Administration. Our principal has always given the students a voice in many school policies. An Honor Code was estab- lished in our school this past winter. In an effort to remind students of our achievement, an
