Council sponsors dances, Operating in close contact with students, faculty, and administration, the student council governed campus activities. Delegates to the legislative body were home- room representatives and committee chairmen who formulated projects which encouraged unity within the student body. Serving as liaisons between the organiza- tion and students, the representatives reported decisions and received suggestions for future council discussion and action. Resulting from one of these suggestions was the formation of a standing Elections Committee. Signifying their membership, the homeroom represent- atives, committee chairmen, and officers purchased sterling silver student council pins.

P mx mnui 5 .. 'Qu' vw , Mycipag brings news, editorials before student bod Publishing the school newspaper every three weeks, the MyerSpm'k staff worked long and hard. Sixth period was devoted to preparing each issue by editors, report- ers, and typists. Subscriptions were included in English instructional fees, thus entitling every student to receive a copy. Distribution took place in the homerooms and at lunch. Because of the outstanding ad sales campaign led by Susan Barnette and Caroline Martin, Business Man- agers, special issues were printed at Christmas and grad- uation. Most school clubs and organizations as well as business concerns bought ads. Also, through this sales- manship the entire financial standing of the paper was improved. Organization of the staff differed from that of previ- ous years. Reporters were not placed on definite staffs but wrote for different editors. Features Editor Suzanne Bost received feature stories and poems from many minor staff members. Richy Burg, Sports Editor, as- signed articles which made more accurate accounts of athletic events available. News Editor Bette Katzen- moyer was in charge of write-ups covering all school news. All reporters were responsible for turning in some article for each issue. Typists Gale Hunter and Barbara Dowd prepared the copy for press.
