Zbya Gezzfraf cSfu0Q12f Gouzzczf STUDENT COUNCIL Promotion of better school citizenship, better teacher-pupil relations, school spirit, a well rounded activities program, promotion of courtesy and fellowship in our school-all these are major concerns of our Student Council. To insure fair representation and democratic practice our Student Council has two representatives from each grade from 7 through 12, and 1 representative each from the Music Department, the Physical Educa- tion Department, and one to represent the various clubs of our school. The Student Council meets on Mondays and at other times when special meetings are deemed necessary. Members are assigned to cafeteria and hall duty during lunch periods. The Council also prepares the weekly school calendar, assumes responsibility for the salute to the flag each morning, and makes sure the neces- sary announcements are given on the public address -system. Student Council members provide musical interludes each morning. The Council makes and enforces rules and regulations which are necessary for the betterment of our school. lt regulates and grants charters to clubs and other organizations and supervises all extracurricular activities. All of these powers are, of course, subject to review and veto of the principal. Each year, late in the spring, our election is held to select the officers for the following year. Seniors do not vote in this election since they will not be in school the following year. A spirited campaign, with nominations and campaign speeches, preceded the voting. To be elected a member of our Student Council is the highest honor our student body can bestow on a fel- low student. Student Council members are chosen because they have a high sense of values and exemplify outstanding school citizenship.

MODERN ALGEBRA CLUB Left to Right - STANDING - Gerald Hill, Steve Kowalewski, John Whitcomb, Tom Westbrook, Robert Baldwin, Kenneth Wilson. SITTING - Sue Deming, Sharon Layton, Sandra Van Boven, Mr. En- gelbert, Advisor, Christina Darbee, Donna Rogers. Both the Math Scholarship and the Modern Algebra Clubs were organized to give students the opportunity to become acquainted with contemporary mathematics. The Modern Algebra Club is for sophomores and the Math Scholarship Club is for Juniors and Seniors. So far, we've learned modular arithmetic and the writing of numbers from base 10 to another base. The latter is used in highspeed I.B.M. computing machines. ln addition to the contemporary mathematics, we will go over questions given on for- mer scholarship exams and study the type of mathematics given on College Entrance Ex- aminations. lf we can accomplish this, we then feel we will have met our goal-to be better prepared for college.
