'Liberated' Student Council Stresses Participation The Student Council started the year lib- erated. considering Helen Sillers was council president. To keep the school spirit built to an in- teresting level, they sponsored poster contests, assemblies, pregame ceremo- nies, a talent show and Homecoming, which to say the least were very suc- cessful. They also had a Snow Carnival planned, but can you believe that it was canceled because of a lack of snow? The Student Council’s basic purpose over the year was to get students and organizations involved. 24

Annell and Dave Reign Over 1971 The highlight of the Bronco Home- coming week came at halftime of the football game when Annell Heuiser was crowned Queen. Jun- iors had the prize winning float. The Middle School received sec- ond place, freshmen third place, seniors finished fourth. Thirty-four minutes later the football squad rounded off the night’s festivities by dumping Yale 14-3. The story of Homecoming 1971 can be summarized in one word — innovation. The major additions included activities in the gym, sponsored by Student Council. Also new was the crowning of the King — Dave Lauwers at the new Homecoming dance. 26
