Twenty-five years ago student government was unknown, but the Shawnee-Mission Student Congress has come to stay. Led by J. C. Hawkins, head sponsor, and G. Murlin Welch, assistant, this year's Student Congress supervised public relations, organization charters, honors, and social activities of the student body. Officers of the Student Congress were president, John Ambergg vice-president, Don Stickrodg secretary, Martha Fraser, and treasurer, Jeanene Trego. Besides these officers this year's forty-four members included presidents and vice-presidents of the junior and senior classes and one representative from each home room. The social committee, headed by jerry Maloney, planned and carried out some of the most successful mixers in the history of Shawnee-Mission. The Tacky Dance, Formal Mixer, and Sweater Dance were outstanding examples. Blue jeans and blazers are favorites at Tacky Dance.
