Brow Many responsibilities fell upon the shoulders of the seventeen Student Council members. The first week of school the Council operated a used book exchange. They handled disciplinary problems, sponsored the home- coming parade and dance, set up a point system for extra-curricular activities, and collected food for Christ- mas baskets for needy families. The Student Council supervised the rec. room. Here students may buy candy, ice cream, potato chips, milk, and cokes to supplement their lunches, dance to popular records, play ping-pong and checkers, or iust sit and talk. During semester vacation, council members spent a day scrubbing and painting the room. Each class elects four council members except the senior, which chooses five, one of whom serves as presi- dent. Officers this year were Steve Wliittenlwerger, presidentg john Thompson, vice-presidentg Terry Wilstmn. secretaryg and Phil Coplen, treasurer. Mrs. Berkehile and Mr. McGinn were sponsors.

Gluck. The Manitou Chapter of the National Honor Society was organized in l95-i. Its purpose is to honor SILI- dents who have been outstanding in scholarship, leader- ship, service. and character, Although comparatively new in R, H. S., it has proved a valuable incentive for students to work toward. Membership in the National Honor Society is the highest scholastic honor a high school student can receive. To be eligible for membership, a student must be outstanding not only in scholarship, but also in leader- ship, service, and character. He must be a iunior or senior who has attended R. H. S. for at least one semester, and his scholastic average must be a B plus, or 5.25, it he is a junior and a B, or 5.00. if he is a senior. With these qualifications. he may be considered for membership. Any R. H. S. teacher may propose names, but a committee composed of the principal and four teachers selects the members. The Honor Society sponsored two activities this year. On New Yeat's Eve, they helped promote the Inter-Club Dance, and in the spring they had charge of Honor Night. With the club president as master of ceremonies on Honor Night, students receive trophies, pins, medals, plaques, certificates. and scholarships which they have won during the year. Among these are the Kiwanis Award to the senior boy and girl who have been out- standing in scholarship, character, attitude, personality, and activities, the Lions Club Achievement Award to the senior boy and girl who have achieved the greatest improvement during their high school career: and the D. A. R. Good Citizenship Award to a senior girl selected by the faculty and seniors on the basis of cit- izenship, leadership, and patriotism. Mrs. Berkebile, the sponsor. and four officers kept the club functioning smoothly. The officers were Terry Wilstvn, presidentg Carolyn Showley, vice president, Ann Hart, secretaryg and jane Gaumer, treasurer. Qlhzge Nineteen J
