Swdwf wwffdwwfwfwm- The Student Council is the first organization to swing into action in the fall. The council repre- sents every student, and those who participate get practical experience in citizenship, leadership, and service as they plan and lead the many school activities under the direction of the council. The first responsibility is to conduct the election which provides leadership for the three classes and the council. Homecoming is another maior undertaking for the council members. They supervise the election of football and basketball queens and plan ap- propriate coronation ceremonies. The Student Handbook, which is distributed to all students the first week of school, is an outstand- ing service to the school.
