Another first in our school year was the forming of a Student Council. Much planning, discussion, and hours of hard work were necessary to get started. Agnes Tretter and Norma Jean Vaal did much to get the organization under way. These students worked with Sr. Mary Victor and representatives of each class to write a Constitution which was officially presented to the student body. The first election was held on March 21, 1961. One of the activities sponsored by the group was a program for noon dancing held on Friday of each week in the gym. 26 The student body goes to the polls for the first time in the history of the school.
