' LARRY STEARNS Student President MAY I SAY: Early in the year students made the decision to foster and promote Honor in their daily lives at Northwest Classen. Our Honor Systemis vast benefits to each of us became a meaningful reality as the months passed. Our interest in community programs, extracurricular activities, and the athletic program brought pride and friendliness to our school. When we leave Northwest Classen we will hold many memories. Perhaps the fondest is that of achievement. The 25th Annual Conference of National Association of Student Councils, during June, 1961, will be a lasting tribute to the stalwart ideals of Northwest Classen and Oklahoma. We will go in many directions to pursue our indi- vidual destinies inspired by the examples of a student body earnestly striving for a finer future. It has been the devoted efforts of each of you that has made 1961 truly OUR YEAR TO REMEMBER? When and wherever we may meet again, I shall know you by your smile. God bless you. Respectfully, Student-body president 9

edication Truly this is our year to remember. To have been chosen to host the 1961 National Convention of Student Councils brings an honor and a privilege to Oklahoma, Oklahoma City high schools, and Northwest Classenls Student Council that comes but once each 50 years. In appreciation of the goals achieved and the high standards of leadership demonstrated by our student council, the Round Table staff dedicates the 1961 edi- tion to this energetic organization. This elected body, under the dynamic direction of Miss Kathleen Owen, in six, short, action-packed years has conceived and brought to successful fruition many proj- ects that set Northwest Classen apart and above being just another school. Student government, as represented by Student Coun- cils, means that each student has a voice in directing what goes on in his school. This is democracy in action. In Knightland elections are taken seriously. Every ef- fort is made to select competent student leaders to create new customs, carry on established ideals and traditions, and assume responsibilities inherent to Knightland. Great inspiration has been imparted by the prospect of being host to student leaders from throughout the land. Everyone in Knightland has tried to do just a little better than his best in preparing for the 25th an- nual NASC conclave. Leaders from other Oklahoma City high schools shared in planning the conference and filling committee positions. The entire community en- tered into the excitement attendant to this momentous occasion. New impressions of Oklahoma were carried away by some 800 delegates from distant places. lt's our fondest desire that one of these will be a lasting memory of the friendliness of Oklaholnans, and NW Classen.
