Student Council The purpose of the Student Council at Southwest is to better the relationship between the faculty and students and to further the good will of our school. Members of the council are chosen from each class to represent their classmates. The Student Council began promoting closer association be - tween students in the summer of 1960 by sponsoring a student body picnic. Then in September, the teachers were honored at a luncheon to bring about a closer student-teacher association. Throughout the months of September, October, «and November, dances were sponsored by the Student Council in order to create more school spirit. The Southwest gym was the scene for the tra - ditional Christmas Dance and this, too, was given by the Student Council. Southwest Follies, a student talent show production, was organized by members of the Student Council and presented in December. This took many hours of work, but everything seemed worthwhile when the show was labeled a success. The council is also responsible for sending remembrances to students during illness and flowers in times of sorrow, presenting assembly programs and devotionals, and running the school store. The council is also responsible for many other things which make school life at Southwest happy and successful. The Student Council is continually searching for new oppor- tunities to assist the student body. Because of untiring service and the will to succeed, the Student Council is one of Southwest's most effective organizations.
