The Council again had charge of the convocations and the decorating of the Christmas tree placed in the hall during the Christmas season. The Council purchased United States flags and placed them in every classroom. Also new were the various school banners that are going to be placed in the auditorium.

DeciStoftS, De ctEutes - U ay Rw VW)Oofe Where shall I put this picture, where can I sell another ad, where can I sell a book to make my quota? These problems and many more like these pose a challenge to the staff, this year under the controls of veteran Cheryl Tesch. Early in the fall the staff starts meeting weekly to sell ads, decide on the number of pages, select the cover, and other preliminaries that go into the Plattonian. The twelve staff members and advisor Marlin Danielson traveled to Wahoo for a yearbook clinic to learn of new methods and ideas to be incorporated into the book. A sigh of relief goes up each time a deadline is met, but not for long, as there is always another coming, all too soon. Pam Endelicato prepares copy.
