President Hettie Mary Jordan officiated at the Student Countil campaign assembly as she did at numerous other functions and meetings. Student Coimcil Changes The past year marked the beginning of the reorganiza- tion of the STUDENT COUNCIL. Members together with their adviser actively brought about a change in the consti- tution so that representatives were elected at-large and more democratically. SAC ' s Council presided as president of the Texas Asso- ciation of Junior College Student Councils in Uvalde, at the state convention. During Fiesta, Student Council members marched with groups participating in the Pilgrimage to the Alamo. Also, a reception was held for Miss Fiesta and her court. At left, the Student Center is bedecked with posters, banners, and streamers during the hectic campaign weeks when Student Council can- didates were trying to win the student body favor. Below, students and instructors chat while they linger around the re- freshment table during the intermission at one of the semi-monthly free dances given by the Council.

Activities Include Initial Field Day The largest Fiesta project was the construc- tion of the SAC float which was built by the Art Department and which carried Miss San Antonio College, Sylvia Kerckhoff. The float won second place in the college division. The Student Council sponsored many activ- ities for SACites throughout the year. The tradi- tional Welcome dance for newcomers, a dance honoring Miss SAC, and other novelty dances were held. A first for SAC was the Field Day. This year it was held at Sixty Acres and consisted of a pow- der puff football game between sorority girls and P. E. majors. Contests included a tug-o-war, raw egg throwing contest, quick-draw contest with whipped cream, a drinking contest, and a three- legged race. At right, live music played by the Jesse Martinez Orchestra, one of several bands featured during the year, added to the entertainment at the November event.
