Each class and organization is entitled to and duly elects representation to this coun- cil. From among this number the officers are chosen. This year an all girl slate of officers presided over the meetings under the guid- ance of Mr. Keith Krause. The Student Council was again in charge of the bookstore and stu- dent pictures and, for the first time, the refreshment stand at soccer games. The money from these ventures is available to clubs, classes, and groups in R.C.C.S. to ease the financial strain for special pro- jects. This year the Council also sponsored an orphan, II Suk, from Korea, and, for the first time, staged a Winter Weekend with a snow sculpturing contest and a formal dance climaxing this gala event.

SENIOR BAND BOASTS BUSY CALENDAR: MUSIC PRESENTED WITH POLISH AND FLAIR R.C.C.S. ' s Excellent Senior Band The Senior Band is made up of those students who are exceptionally adept at playing their musical instrument. The band is always busy practicing for its many engagements. These include the county music festival, where the band last year received a 5A rating, the Christmas concert, the Memorial Day parade, Cornell Band Day, the Spring Con- cert, playing for Commencement, and marching in the Fourth of July parade. Also held this year were exchange concerts with Westhill and Solvay. The Band continually brings recognition of excellence to Red Creek Central School. The stage band is a select group of band members taken from the trumpet, trombone, saxophone, and percussion sections of the Senior Band. Also included is a cool piano. The group specializes in jazz and pop selections, and is justified in calling themselves the Swingsters ' Their major activity is to provide the music for the stage production put on annually by the music department. 70
