Girls' League in N.C.H.S. is composed of all the girls of the student body. They have elected this Council to govern them. Probably the biggest activity of the Council, during the year, outside of keeping girls, activities running smoothly, was the annual Football Ball. 6'This Side of Heavenw was chosen as the theme for 1955. Stars, clouds, and blue lights made up the decorations which were carefully planned by the Girls' Council. Silhouettes in the shape of angels, honoring the Senior Foot- ball boys, added just the right touch to the wall decorations. Betsy Crowell, Girls, Vice President, presented the football autographed by all the Senior boys to ,lay Edmison, who was selected as recipient for the souvenir when his name was drawn from a football helmet. All events undertaken by the council proved a big success with the aid of its Sponsor, Mrs. Bar- bara Scifers, Dean of' Girls. Betsy was assisted by Vice President Edo Hanna, Secretary Genie Wood, and Treasurer Mary Sue Baker. As money-making projects, council members sold N.C.H.S. stationery and sponsored a mixer after one of our basketball games. Their closing activity always is the series of Orientation Teasg which are presented in an effort to help incoming Freshmen become acquainted with the school. The Teas were as successful as the rest of the girls, activities.

Planning the activities that gave our story a successful plot were the members of the student council, sponsored by Mr. Grant Boyles. The council met regularly in the morning before school to govern the functions of the student body. Adding new spice to our games were the UB- squadi' cheerleaders, who were approved by the Council. Changes in the manner of electing the Mustang Queeni' were also discussed, passed, and initiated. Now the football team elects the queen from finalists chosen by the Senior boys, after all the boys have had a chance to submit petitions. Student Council members had complete charge of homecoming affairs-the bonfire, the pep assembly and coronation, the parade, and the well-attended mixer after Casperis victory over the Sheridan Broncs. A rather unprecedented action going through the Council this year was the decision to deed C Hill to the students of Casper College, since it is on their campus. Now you may see the quit-claim papers and the dollar the college students paid us for the hill displayed in our trophy case. Handling student government affairs and presid- ing over assemblies efficiently, the student council has produced a well organized and well conducted year. Our student body officers have led the Council and the school during the past year. They are, Jerry Cronen, President, Betsy Crowell, Girls' Vice Presi- dentg Hi Gernert, Boys' Vice Presidentg Mary Jo Begley, Secretary, and Liz Robertson, Treasurer.

K E Gwendolyn Hill and Frances F. Feris, Co-Sponsors. Your MUSTANG staff worked hard to write this story of your year 1955-56. The plot was formulated during the spring of 1955 so that the happenings and illustra- tions of the months of April and May could form the prologue of our story, the getting ready to begin as it were. All during the summer the narration was taking form. The photographers preserved for you the flowers of the campus, the building framed in summery greenery, the school board as they worked out the budget and the plans for 1955-56. By September 1st, the first twenty pages were off for the acceptance of the printer. As the action of the year gained momentum so did the activities of the staff. During September, all the members signed up sponsors downtown. Three deadlines were met to keep abreast of the subjects which you were studying, the honors which you were winning, the victories noted by the accumulation of trophies in the cases in the lobby, the queens, the dances, the Christmas Story, the Follies, the Prom, the all-school play. We loved preserving the setting, the characters, the action, and the climaxes for this year of Natrona County High School, 1955-56. We hope that as you read it over and over you will realize how our administration and our faculty emphasize the principles of education-preparation for the future in citizenship, in skills, in health, in character, in worthy use of leisure, in vocations, and in happy home making.
