Though the common justification for extracurricular activities is that they are designed to broaden one's experiences in society, their teach- ing value is usually overlooked in the mad rush to have a good time. One of Richfield's extracurricular activities, however, handled beauti- fully the double duty of education and entertainment. In March the Student Council held its election, preceded by four days of colorful campaigning. At five o'clock on March 20 the re- sults were in: an all-male slate of officers would lead the 1966-67 Stu- dent Council. Those elected were Ray Owens, presidentg Tom Fitz- hugh, vice-presidentg Frank Fuller, secretaryg and Mike Gregory, treas- urer.

Rush Milam, vice-president, aided the Council in all phases! of its work from the March of Dimes to the spring elections. 28 The 1965-66 Student Council was one of the most active that Richfield had ever known. Part of this activity was due to the eager and able leadership shown by its officers. These officers were elected in March of 1965 and at- tended conventions and workshops before and during their terms to better their service. Their special qualities were initiative and re- sponsibility. John Ensey controlled the money bags in his position as treasurer.
