Student Congress activity keeps Rodney Calvert and JoAnn Murray busy. 4? Cfficers Lead in Good Citizenship Making the theory of student government Work in practice is the responsibility of the Executive Committee. Composed of the appointed chairmen of the standing committees and the elected officers of the Student Congress, it formulates and administrates the programs of the Representative Assembly. Meet- ing daily during sixth period, the committee assures the smooth functioning of Northwood's student government. Chairman jean Spencer and the members of the Citizenship Committee had a year full of activities as they promoted good citizenship, in the school, in the community, and among students. The year began with an impressive assembly in September to induct Student Congress officers. In November, the com- mittee sponsored the registration, voting and assembly for the Mock National Election. Registration pro- cedures and a lively debate on the election issues prepared students for their future role as citizens. Students found the committeeis postal service before the Christmas holidays a great convenience. In April, members added their efforts to the American Civilization Conference at Blair, and in May they organized the Student Congress elections. Looking ahead, they prepared the helpful student handbooks for the next year's sophomores. STUDENT CONGRESS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE-Front Row: D. Dilts, Representative Assembly Secretary, G.
