Student Council Strives This year the American Field Service Club, formerly a branch of the Student Council, became a separate organization. The club is dedicated to the raising of funds for the community's student exchange program, and it gives each student the opportunity to take an active part in the A.F.S. plan. The S.G.A. school store has become an invaluable asset to Regional. Readily available to students are various school sup- plies, a wide selection of paper- back books, study guides and even sweatshirts. Due to the success of this enterprise, an ad- ditional branch has been opened in the cafeteria. Fostering a feeling of harmony and cooperation throughout Regional, the Student Council gives each individual a voice in the schooI's government. Maintaining the spirit of democracy, it bridges the gap between student and teacher as it performs its essential duties through energetic homeroom rep- resentatives.
