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.

Seniors ••Rain? ? ? So what! thought the Seniors as they were on the verge of floating to Shakamak State Park on that memorable May 8. This fun-loving group didn’t permit the rain to dampen their spirits though it succeeded in dampening their clothes to a considerable degree. As the beach and the boats at the park were flooded, card playing came to be the main attraction at the west shelterhouse. E ven the faculty chaperones indulged in this enter- tainment. Brave souls ventured outside the shelter between the showers—but they got the ••wetter” end. All in all everyone testifies to a ‘‘dripping” good time and an unforgettable day.
