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. Posters and signs were paraded throughout the gym before the candidates spoke. The Winners Took All In Council Elections With the band and a cheering audience the rally became a festive occasion. ll 1'1 wif as r is W A successful campaign led Ray Owens into the Council presidency. 29

WITH CREW The word' 'ccitizenshipw has been used so often to describe a corny, true-blue goody-goodiness that we very seldom understand what it really means. This past year at Richfield, however, saw a new emphasis placed on citizenship. It seemed that the most important thing in every endeavor was the fairness of it, whether it was consideration for a speaker or good sportsmanship at a basketball game. To some, the lectures over the PA system were tire- some utterances of prudishness. Others didn't even lis- ten. But a few heard and heeded. These few were al- most exclusively the ones that didn't really need to hear these announcements anyway. These students were lead- ers, the conscientious ones, the real citizens of Rich- field. A few of these students were honored by being named Citizens of the Month. From these students the Citizens of the Year were chosen. :lanuary citizens-seniors Ed .larrett and Paula Levine and jun- iors Paul Marable and Lee Lane-took their places on the ladder of success. Libraries were familiar places to the December citizens-sem iors Mike Leskin and Rosemary Schwetman, and sophomore Paula Bellegie, and junior Frank Fuller-who are pictured here in front of the Armstrong-Browning Library. Seniors Fred McGregor and Jackie Deluca and juniors Jimmy Miller and Dana Copeland-shown here in one of Waco's least recognized historic spots, Oakwood Cemetery-were the February citizens. ,,,,,....- and x .A-f N,
