Council Sponsors School-Wide Affairs Jerry Freeman, President; Raymond Schappaugh, Vice President; Bev- erly Ray, Secretary; and Judy Yarbrough, Treasurer, conduct Student Council meetings. The Student Council meetings are similar to most club meetings in that roll is called, minutes read, and the treas- urer's report is given. One of the differences is that the members are united by the fact that they are elected rep- resentatives of the student body. Another difference is that these meetings are conducted with a strict observance of parliamentary procedure. Most of the representatives are not serving on the Coun- cil for prestige but for the opportunity to help run the stu- dent government. The majority of the work of the Student Council is done in committees or by individual members of the Council. Bills written by the committees are brought before the council, where they are submitted to a vote before becoming an act. These bills are often the basis for many lively debates. Reports by the committee chair- men are a regular part of the meetings and are the main link among the Council members. Representatives report activities of the Student Council to their homerooms and encourage student participation in Student Council sponsored activities such as the Charity Drive, Twirp Week, and Homecoming. At the end of each school year Student Council mem- bers are invited to attend the Annual Student Council Ban- quet, in recognition of their unselfish service. The event is considered one of the highlights of the season.
