The Survrgfor Stagg . The Club Section this year was planned and drawn up by a hard working staff consisting of Annie Mae Staton. Carol Bateman, Kathie Brewer, who is the editor of thc section, and Candy Dilliard. The picture schedule for all class pictures as well as club pictures was handled by these hard-working girls. Miss Lowman Sponsor Our Class Section had a rough job this year with the retakes but they hnally met their deadline with much hard work and a few extra working sessions after school. Ann Vick, Patsy Allen, Judy Smith, and Ruth Roop. editor. make up this section. This yearbook sales that took place during the beginning of the year reached an all-time high of one thousand books purchased by the student body. This year. as in the past, the staff sponsored several elections which are a traditional part of our school life. Among these are Who's Who, Miss Mount Vernon, and Senior Spot- light. The Surveyor is a member of the Virginia High School League, and the National Scho- lastic Press Association. The 1960 edition of the Surveyor will be entered in competition in the Southern lnterscholastic Press Association which is held each summer at Washington and Lee University in Lexington. Virginia. The expert photographers on our staff this year, Marty Lentz. Gail Glenn, and Eddie Byrd discuss the proper use of the camera. Missing from this picture is Donnie Dodd.

The representative body is made up ot' an elected member from each homeroom: the senatorial body is composed ol' two Senators from each class. The Execu- tive members are elected at the close of each school year and become ollicially active at the beginning of each school year. This year the SCA undertook to revise the constitution: Linder the proposed system a place of the cabinet and the senate. This system. it is hoped. will prove much more convenient and workable. The SCA shouldered the full responsibility of promoting and handl- ing the magazine campaign and the publica- tion of the Student Handbook. Also. a system for the co-ordination of the independent clubs was established to better intra-club relations. Funds were allocated to the Newspaper and the Yearbook and to other clubs as the need arose. One of the major accomplishments of the year was the pact with Mr. Landes to council consisting of a balanced number of elected and appointed members will take the allow ice cream to return to the cafeteria.

We reached a high goal in the sale of ads this year and sponsored a contest for those not on the staff. who apply for membership to the staffg the ap- plicants must then be recommended and ap- proved by members of the faculty. The staff is divided accordingly into sections. Each be- ing a body within itself and having a sectional editor at its head. At the end of each year the existing staff is responsible for placing mem- bers on each sectional staff and electing an editor-in-chief or co-editors for the coming year. This year the staff began functioning the later part of the summer by soliciting through- out the community for advertisements. one means of attaining financial support. The actual work on the book began in September after some members of the staff attended the National Scholastic Press Association Conven- tion in Washington, D.C.
