Student Council The job the Student Council has to perform is wide in scope. The sponsors, Mr. Hanney and Mr. Garinger, always ready and willing to help, combined with the able leader- ship of president Roger Aberle, gave the council one of its most successful years in school history. A few of the many varied activities they sponsored were the Christmas dance, concession stand for home games, dance band tours, lyceums and assemblies, and the building of a concession stand for foo'h‘1! eames. The council, numbering seventeen, is composed of or- ganizational presidents and a representative of each class. Congratulations, Phyllis! President. ROGER ABERLE Vice-President. DOUGLAS ABERLE Secretary, JUDY ABERLE Treasurer, TED RUSE The Christmas Dance was held December 23 in the gym. The theme was Snowflake Frolic.

Pep Club The Jay Jays’ main purpose is to keep school spirit high and this they have cer- tainly done. With the cheerleaders ahead of them their fighting spirit and attitude has continued throughout victory or defeat. School spirit may be difficult to define, but a lack of it is obvious to everyone. These Jay Jays never deserted their team even when the last play was completed and their loyalty to the Bluejays never failed. May they ever continue with this same spirit.
