Talking things over, President Jay Page and secretary Pat Komko plan the future. l Led by President Jay Page, the Student Council ventured into many areas this year. At the beginning ofthe year, girls were greeted with the glad news that pants-wearing was no longer frowned upon. This was agreed to by the student council and representatives from the administration, P.T.A ., and Board ofEducation. New Clubs such as the Paper Aviation Club and Thes pians Creplacing the Drama Clubj had their constitutions ratifyed by the Student Council. These were joined by the National Honor Society, to which only fully accredited schools are qualified. With the athletic program firmly established, the student council cut its share ofthe budget money from three-fourths to one-h alf, with the money re-alloted to activities such as the Thespians. One ofthe highlights ofthe student council calendar was the Drug Forum which researched the drug problem at Washington and means of solving it. Similar to Earth Day in format, the forum was composed of teach-ins on drugs and their effect on the human body, drugs and the law, and many others.
