Throughout the year they sponsored a wide variety of events, the most popular of which were carol- ing in December and their ice skating party in February. Regular meetings were held at the homes of members, often featuring prominent and interesting speakers. This year our neigh- boring school of Milford took a giant step for- ward with the organization of its own NATION- AL HONOR SOCIETY. This was made possible by the long hours of toil given by our Society members in helping them to organize and get started properly. This unselfish gesture of friendship was something to really make the whole school proud of our young scholars. Compliments of THORNBURG DRUG COMPANY

THE STUDENT COUNCIL, headed by president Terry Griffith, and one of the most active organizations at S. H. S., forms a representative student-administration government in which all students from grades 7 through 12 are represented by members from their respective classes. The Student Council and the National Honor Society worked hand-in-hand to produce a revised edition of the student handbook which contains rules, privileges, and other important information. A suggestion box was main- tained in the main hall for the purpose of airing the students' ideas about changes which might better the school. Each suggestion was carefully read and acted upon by the Student Council or the administration accord- ing to need. Besides governing the student body, the Student Council sponsored sev- eral events during the year. A variety of convocations from Bohemian glass-blowing to trumpet playing were features that everyone appreciated. During the Christmas season the members became Santas and Elves by decorating the school in holiday finery and by sponsoring a penny pitch and a Yuletide convocation. Dress up days were sponsored to honor holidays and Granny dress days honored our Mother's mothers. Courtesy Week was another suc- cessful project of the group. In the 1965-1966 school year the Student Council strived to make S.H.S. a better place for education. They succeeded in every way! Compliments of WAWASEE MARINA
