Fall council initiates new ideas and projects Fall Student Council combined a trial revised dress code, two ADC parties, and new election proced- ures to give Roosevelt students an eventful semester. The Student Council, headed by Grover Hahn, president; Tom Liljedahl, first vice-president; Brent Walker, second vice-president; Linda Miller, secretary; and Bob Waldinger, chief justice, successfully ini- tiated various projects involving the school and the community. The Community Service Committee sponsored the traditional ADC picnic and Christmas party, the March of Dimes Air Lift, and a bread sale. It also papered and painted a house in the Southeast Bottoms. Voting machines were introduced by the Election Committee and Roosevelt sports calendars were sold by the Finance Committee. The Historical and Special Days Committee fea- tured a Teddy Bear give-away commemorating Theo- dore Roosevelt ' s birthday. The proceeds from the 25-cent raffle tickets helped furnish closed-circuit televisions for the school. This committee also joined the Public Relations Committee in arranging trophies in the new trophy cases. The trial revision of the student dress code allow- ing girls to wear skirt-like culottes was an example of an efficient Student Council ' s efforts to make the constitution a working document. The Best Committee Chairman Award went to Phil Spevak, chairman of Election Committee. The Best Homeroom Representative Award was given to sophomore Lisa Trowbridge. Fall Student Council officers seated in the front are Grover Hahn, president; Linda Miller, secre- tary; and Tom Liljedahl, 1st vice-president.

Spring Student Council creates new committee The Spring Student Council, under the leadership of president Tom Liljedahl, was responsible for a num- ber of new ideas and community service projects. Early in the semester, the special committee on Council representation from the social science classes completed its report. Although no changes in repre sentation procedures were undertaken, this project was indicative of the forward-looking policies of the Council. The various committees worked vigorously on a number of traditional projects during the second semester. The ADC Easter egg hunt and the Camp Sun- nyside scholarship drive, sponsored by the Community Service Committee, were both successful. Fun Nite, held in mid-April, featured the movie thriller, Wait Until Dark, a pie-eating contest, roller-skating in the halls, music, dancing in the gym, and swimming. Junior Maureen Hinds provides the energy for her young charge at the ADC Easter Egg Picnic.
