Activities At a first glance, we see a student, participating. We know he belongs to school clubs and organizations, but, the question is — What does he do ?” At second glance we see Mike Chesson speaking for the Orientation Committee in Congress, the Plough dedication being presented to Mrs. Baker, Carol Spencer selling Bobby Yates his name on his annual, Dale Bateman studying chess moves with a fellow club member, Everrett Hogge dis- cussing debate presentation with Mrs. Hundly, and members of the Executive Honor Council posing in front of their honor week” bulletin board. This is what Warwick’s students do in their clubs — work on projects that build WHS’s tradition. 107

8CA Executives Devote Time, Energy to Duties A popular phrase around the SCA room with the Executive Council was, Never a dull moment,” and never were truer words spoken. If it wasn’t Mrs. Kostyal pounding her shoe against the water fountain on the back steps of the library (a secret signal necessary when the door was locked), it was the weird mixtures of Trig and Warwick cheers issuing forth from the thin walls of the SCA room first period. In actuality the Executive Council worked together quite suc- cessfully, accomplishing much. Some of the projects dealt with were the second annual Variety Show, establishment of new cabinet positions, Farmer Day, the District SCA Conference which Warwick hosted, a faculty tea, the Federation sponsored weeks, the distribution of Honor Cards, the re-establishment of Chapel services, and the formation of var- ious committees to investigate and improve conduct and attitudes at Warwick. However, most of the first period meetings were spent with individual work. Billy Dunn, SCA president, assisted by Brenda Winall, vice-president, and sponsor, Mrs. Kostyal, composed the agenda for the weekly Congress meetings held Wednesday in the boys’ gym and dealt with visitors whose business concerned the student body. Mary Pat Tull, treasurer, spent her mornings running back and forth to the IBM room filling out purchase orders and trying to figure out where that extra $180.01 came from so she could balance her books. Kathy Scott, secretary, spent her short hour rewriting minutes of Congress meetings for the homeroom bulletins, keeping an accurate weekly Congress attendance roll, as well as doing all necessary correspondence and making ballots for various elections. With the odds being three to one in favor of the female opinion, Billy was often heard to cry out, Wait, stop, you’re railroading this through!” But a little pressure enforced outside of school established once and for all an even balance. S.C.A. president, Billy Dunn, joins in Farmer Day.
