Chronic enthusiasts pump action, originality Student mouthpiece - St. Paul social directors - spirit instigators - who else? The '69 Student Coun- cil. After being whipped into shape, worked up, run down, and briefed on S.C. affairs, the group left the summer leadership seminar at Indiana University spurring fresh ideas and infectious energy. In Septem- ber, the 'fsuper seven moved into a new meeting room, which served as the executive suite, president Bob Martin's catch-all, and retreat for emergencies. Throughout the year, innovations dotted a tired activities agenda. As well as fulfilling traditional duties, this year's council solved address and phone number hang-ups with student directories. Awareness of the generation gap crisis produced periodical meetings be- tween parents, faculty, and students. Taking advantage of a double header basket- ball weekend, the S.C. drummed up an action packed Winter Carnival. The Lakeris final league victory be- gan an exciting 72 hour enjoyment marathon which included a dance, the zany King of Hearts contest, a lollipop holiday, and the first game of the city play-offs.

H.S. casts new reflections on ideals Abraham, Martin and John . . . Didnit they try to find some good for you and me? Stimulated by this personal question and drawing meaning from modernistic collages on the stage, each student felt a personal emotion and identification in this year's N.H.S. induction ceremony. As the flurry of induction dies down, members undertake traditional duties. Any observer in the hall will find the bookmobile well stocked with literature and a willing N.H.S. member heading the selling project. A student floundering in the sea of congruent triangles and French verbs with thirteen endings is thrown a lifesaver - an N.H.S. tutor. There are also the moments when members of the N.H.S. step out of the world of Latin books and loose leafs and relax with the poetry of Rod McKuen, the music of Handel's Messiah, or The Lion in Winter. Each phase of life and cultural aspect of his existence motivates the N.H.S. member, enriches his knowledge, and draws him to experience all he can with ambition and interest. sw 47
