nunril nf 613131315 if it STUDENT COUNCIL NDER the capable leadership of Mrs. Forness, the Student Council, with representatives from every class, functions as the self-government body of Salamanca High School. In October, as in previous years, a pre-election assembly, with speeches by candidates and their supporters, gave the student body a chance to weigh the merits of the various candidates for of- fice. The election itself was carried through under the guidance of the Social Studies department. Students were required to register and vote in a manner similar to public elections. Darryl Reynolds and Bob Ball were elected as president and vice-president, re- spectively. Choice of Boy and Girl of the month, and Boy and Girl of the year, was one of the activities of the Council. The annual Student Day was also directed and carried out by the organization. Another activity has been the holding of dances after several basketball games. These dances have been socially and financially successful. 13

The Board members determine the policies of our school system and have an active voice in administering these policies. They give freely of their time and interest without financial reward.
