Council Backs Student Projects Some of the many duties of student council were organizing the homecoming parade, operating the ice cream machine, running concessions, and taking tickets at basketball games. Mr. Wesner, Luisa Torchiani, and five members attended the Northeast-Northwest District Convention. At the beginning of the year, hand books of school rules were given to freshmen. Many good ideas were placed in the suggestion box which was in the library. In November the school's waste cans were painted black and orange. Janet Fallenstein drew the winning official Indian head for the school. The scrapbook, a welcome addition to the library, contained writeups of school activities that were printed in the newspapers of neighboring towns. Luisa Torchiani was presented money to call her parents in Rome on Christmas Day. In March a telephone was installed near the gym for student use. Several fund raising activities were held for A.F.S.: a variety show, sock hops, Old Clothes Day, Burmuda Day, and the selling of tags and Shares of Good Will. The money gained was used to finance a foreign student and also for sending a student abroad this summer. Student council members discuss plans for an Old Fashioned Day. Left to Right: M. Todd, J.

Hough, L. Mulligan, P. Lay. Not Pictured: J. Larson, K. Olson, B. VanWinkle. We Inform and Serve You The Sandscript staff used their talents to inform our community of the school activities. Articles appearing weekly in the Sandwich Free Press included writeups of sports, special events, and various club activities. Their competent editor for the first semester was LeAnn Scheidecker. The Christmas theme was skillfully woven throughout their first issue of the Sandy Jr. Carmen Howard was chosen editor for the second semester. She expertly supervised the writing of articles for the Aurora Beacon News. Each week a member from the staff wrote a column which reviewed the recent activities. The librarians were busy checking out books and magazines, helping students, and generally keeping the library neat and orderly. The Librarians' Club was composed of eighteen members with Mrs. Wutzke as supervisor. Each member contributed one period of the day to do the necessary and important work. An interesting tour of Northern Illinois University libraries was taken on April 6. In co-operation with the public library, they celebrated Library Week which was from April 16-22. Posters were made for Book Week to emphasize the important place books play in our lives. Capable officers of the Librarians' Club perform some daily tasks: repairing the books and magazines, and keeping the card catalogue in order. ROW ONE, Left to Right: Mrs. Wutzke, supervisor; D.

As a change of pace this year, Les Berets Noirs met at the homes of members. During the Christmas season some of the girls sang carols at the hospital and Sand-haven. Many sent Christmas cards to last year's Danish A.F.S. student, Helle Neilsen. Paris Bingo was an added novelty for entertainment at the meetings. Pencil games helped them review their vocabulary of French words. French II students presented The Three Wishes for the club and at the variety show. LeAnn Scheidecker and Jeanne Steffen portrayed the woodcutter and his foolish wife. Homemade fudge and cookies were sold at a sock hop. Luisa Torchiani's parents sent them colorful French insignia to wear on their berets. In April they spent an educational and interesting Saturday in Chicago. The French Club learns new Christmas carols. ROW ONE, Left to Right: Mrs. Lindner, L. Torchiani, J. Peterson, K. Hardersen, D. Tope, A. Cortright, M. Todd, R. Henry, L. Scheidecker, P. Gowdy, N. Rex.
