FORMULATING OUR POLICY The Student Council is the governing group of students in S.A.C.H.S. and is composed of fourteen of the most able and reliable students--two freshmen, three sophomores, four juniors and five seniors. These stu- dents cooperate with the faculty in the sponsoring and management of many school activities. They planandexecute numerous projects for the betterment ofthe school and serve the school when called upon to do so. The council sponsored an all high-school party in the fall, and the homecoming with itscolorful floats, queen contest, pep ralley and snake dance. A magazine drive, the hand book,thecadets, the polio drive and eighth grade day are other projects undertaken annually by the council. Duringtheyear the council sponsoredsixprofessional talent assemblies. John Martin was honored by being selected to serve as a discussion leader at the State Student Council Convention held at the Congress Hotel in Chicago on April 20 and 2l.

NOW IT CAN BE TOLD a We started out like all Freshmen, not knowing too much about the ad- venture we were stepping into. 'There were so many of us, seventy-seven to be exact. During our first year we had little to sayabout how the school should be run. We were the last Freshman class to be initiated in the tunnel under the school and we'll never forget some of the grue- some things down there. The next year we were back again, not quite as green and with a few less members in our class. This time it was our turn to initiate the Freshmen. Junior girls, remember when we made you wear your clothes backwards and boys, remember how silly you looked with your trousers rolled up to your knees? At the beginning of the year we chose our class rings and of course we thought our rings were better than any we had ever seen. This was our Junior year, theyear we took over the candy booth so we could give the Seniors the prom and banquet. We used a Mexican theme for both occasions. We were very happy to have the Homecoming queen, Carole Trudeau, chosen from our class. - Finally, we started the year we had all been waiting for, our Senior year. We started off by selling football and basketball pins to make money forour Senior trip. For the second time the Homecoming queen was chosen fromourclass. This time it was Joyce Styck. The Seniors spon- sored a TV Talent Show in December. Two of the high lights of our last year are the Senior play and the Senior trip, but the greatest occasion of all is graduation. iDuring all four years our class has had several boys on the varsity teams. We are really proud of these boys and are sure they will be missed as well as each member of the Senior Class. .
