Agendo: 1. Coll to order 2. Communication improvement—homerooms 3. Discussion on the abolishment of two winter dances 4. Results of the glass drive 5. Proposed School Board ex-officio member 6. Establishment of a Declaration of Rights committee 7. Motion to adjourn. Student Council strove to create a community feeling within the school, to alter its position from a social clique to a political organization, to establish itself as a viable force in the power structure and to determine the rights of the student. Student Council took active steps toward improvement. Mike Stutzer ponders a perplexing thought: Is it necessary to have such a long discussion over a dance? 21 In room 222 a serious tone prevails while Student Council members consider the pros and cons of homerooms. A sure evaluation method is sought.

 And who is what's-hcr-name staying with? Domestic Exchange co-chairmen Chuck Lipkin and Hilary Bcarmon consult their lists to find the answer. Computer-picked by lottery, 29 lucky students from Park became participants in the fall inner-city Domestic Exchange While they left for a week at Minneapolis Central, Marshall U High, Mound, Northrop and Richfield, 29 visitors from these same schools discovered Pork. The new students grew tired of the question, How do you like Pork? . But even if they weren't particularly enthusiastic about the academic system, the people they met mode the experience worthwhile. Nightly get-togethers and open houses provided time to rap, while during the doy the visitors explored the hidden wonders Park education offered. As the week ended, they returned home with the satisfaction of knowing a few more people and another school. Taking time out from their rigorous doily schedule of wary observing and random class hopping, the Domestic Exchange visitors seek respite in gathering for a group picture. 23 Expressing views comes easier in the empty hall at DE evaluation night.
