Sel1CI'l'e THis YEAR Senate succeeded in being more representative of the opinion of the student body. The progress of the Senate was reported to the students in the home rooms, and its opinions on the various problems became known. After a whirlwind week of campaigning each spring, which includes fili- busters by all candidates for ollice, merry assemblies and clever, colorful jzosters, Senate ofiicers are chosen in an all-school election. The classes also hold their Senate elections in the spring when the allotted number of sena- tors and alternates are chosen. These officers and representatives begin their terms the following school year. An im ortant function of the Senate was carried on b the Part Com- P Y Y mittee. It advised the clubs and classes on their party plans and various other details. This policy was designed to insure against the chances of any or- anizations takin a financial loss. 8 8 SENATE: First Row: Fulirnmn, PV!-l'htll'd, Mr. Mizrhcll, Pres. Yoder, Sec. En- dresf, Treus.

bisbila THE MA OR roblem which faced the Biz at the be in- l P g ning of the year was that of raising money. The stu- dents took the matter in hand b decidin to donate Y B a dollar a iece. The minor uroblem consisted of the P l drive for write-ups. Each editor worked fervently passing-out, collecting, writing, and rewriting the many necessary and important write-ups. During the ear the students turned in snai shots for the feature Y D 1 section. These contributions, along with the group pictures, were hashed over, giggled over, and dili- entl uarded and ke t in secret until the lorious g Y S P S da when the Biz was uresented, or, as hi h societ Y . i a Y would express it, the day when the Biz Hcame outf' breeze To THE staff of the Campus Breeze, Saturday meant another day at school with hard work ahead. For it was on Saturday that the staff and reporters, under the supervision of Richard Alm, advisor, rewrote and headlined those last minute scoops. This year's staff was headed by Marie Geist, editor in chief, associate editors were lean Endress, front page, Ianet Nelson, feature, Leonard Strouse, sports, Pat Scott and Sue Hirsch, back page, and lean Pieper, feature co-editor. Assistants included Greta Nelson and Bill Swanson. Pat Drew acted as exchange editor and Barb Norman headed the typists.
