Student council held their meetings in Larry Anderson's room under his supervision and the leadership of student body officers Tammie Lantz, president; Rhonda Miesbach, vice president; Steve Hutt, treasurer; and Tracy Meints, secretary. The school board decision to end work permits, study hall, and mid-term graduation provided the major student council effort for the 1976-77 school year. Many students felt the board's decision was not in their best interest, and as a result they worked through their student council to discuss the issue with the school board. The student delegation was led by Tammie Lantz and Steve Hutt who questioned the board about the decision. Dr. Ted Evans, president of the board, responded to their questions and suggested the students try to get half of the voting public to sign a petition. Tammie felt the student council members were willing to work, and she thought Larry Anderson was a good sponsor who worked well with kids and didn't try to tell them what to do, but gave his advice. The members of the student council were Tammie Lantz, Steve Hutt, Tracy Meints, Jackie Weakland, Rhonda Miesbach, Gail Ramsey, Kris DeFreece, Sally Davis, Rodney Buethe, Jon Campbell, Rhonda Martin, and Susanne ScotL 9

The Media Club participated in the state convention at Omaha Benson High School. The club also attended the regional convention in Lincoln. At both conventions the club members were taught how to operate different pieces of equipment. At the regional held last year, Beth Morrissey was elected president while Irene Thompson was elected secretary for this year. During the end of the first semester the club had a pizza party at Mrs. Parrish's house. The purpose of the party was to honor the members who were to graduate at Mid-term. The members graduating were Jill Gorton, Carmen Meister, Kathy Smith and Irene Thompson. They also sold consessions at many of the home games and held raffles during the varsity games. With the money that they made, they bought a cabinet used for filing and the storage of papers. The club also bought carpeting for one of the walls in the elementary library to absorb sound. One night was spent building book shelves for the elementary library. The shelves were built by Mr. and Mrs. Jim Parrish and the members of the Media Club. The reason for the building of the shelves was for the displaying of more books. The club members also delivered the 1977 telephone books to the community of Tecumseh. Officers of the Media Club are President Kim Meister, Vice-President Susie Hemmer, Secretary, 1st semester, Kathy Smith, 2nd semester, Jackie Weakland and Treasurer Linda Grove.
