COUNCIL LEADS STUDENTS IN PROJECTS-ACTIVITIES The Student Council is composedof twelve mem- bers. three being from each of the senior high school grades and one from each of the junior high school grades. The president is elected from one of the three senior representatives while the remainder of the officers are chosen from any of the senior high council members. This year the officers were: Russell Johnson, president; Bill Lorette, vice-president; Marilyn Nelson, secretary; Roger Wassenaar, treasurer; and Mrs. Rogge, advisor. The Council is the student governing body of the school. It promotes close harmony among students and faculty and works for improvement in the school pro- gram and cooperation with this program. The Student Council supervised and sponsored many of the activities of the year. One of these was Homecoming with the snake dance, parade, and festivi- ties planned and carried out by the Council. They also arranged a social calendar which included seven all-hi parties. A system of study hall monitorship was incorpor- ated this year. Different students were assigned each week to assist the teachers in charge of the study hall. The student government day, held in the spring, was the highlight of the year. On this day two previous- ly elec ted seniors took the position of superintendent and principal, and senior high school students taught all of the high school classes. Money to carry out these projects was obtained from the magazine sale which was held in the fall. The general manager of the drive was Russell Johnson with Donna Schneider as captain of the girls'team, the Jills, and Leon Binger, captain of the boys’ team, the Jacks. 24 PROJECTIONISTS ROW ONE: Frederick Windland, direc- tor: Melvin Wohlman, Charles Duns- more, John Grund, David Erhard.
