Several kids had the job of choosing lunch period movies for the coming year. were serving on the P. Y. C. committee and the Students Community Center youth-advisory council, as the Christmas season approached. The Councilers were right in step, with their party where they watched colored football movies as they ate. Basket- ball season brought the need for sectional and regional ticket drawings. Then came springtime and many more problems and jobs. Some of the businessmen came to Reitz for the Kiwanis voca- tional talks and many of the members served as guides, as they did for the Go-to-College day. Such projects were accomplished as the rigging up of an out- door bell, the purchasing of a new flag, and the cleaning and painting of the R. Also in the spring, new officers were elected to serve next year. Probably one of the most worth-while activities was the drawing up of by-laws for honors, awards, and club officers and the revision of class elections. Spring also brought the need for the continuation of the campus care which was a year-round project. The year's doings came to a close with the presenting of the Student Council Citizenship award and the Eighth Grade Day program. - By Joan Fleming.
