Safety initiates Effective Parking Lot Procedures Jim Berthrong, Secretary of Safety, was responsible for the efficient organization of hall monitors, who helped to relieve the congestion in the halls during lunch hours by enforcing safety rules. While increased enrollment at Wasson made it difficult for monitors to control traffic, students and monitors cooperated to the fullest extent. Another important function handled by Safety Com- mittee was the initiation of new parking lot procedures, which were described by Mr. Christensen as being very effective. A full-time adult parking lot attendant saw to it that cars were parked correctly and in the proper places, and that no one came to his car during classes. All cars had to be registered in Mr. Christensenls office and had to display stickers. JIM' BERTHRONG, Secretary of Safety. guards the gates during a lunch hour in order to insure that classes during the lunch hour are not disturbed. JIM ASKS FOR a permit from Rod Stoneburner before his car can leave the parking lot. DAVE VANNATTAN holds the fort as he refuses the requests of Patti Johnson and Bill McClellan to enter the main hall.

PAT BAILEY TACKS UP the minutes of a cabinet meeting to keep the student body informed of the cabs inet's actions. Records Speeds JOAN MOON Pat Barley and Chris Riley count ballots for the election of a queen to reign over Homecoming festivities PAT BAILEY, Secretary of Records, enjoys the better part of a secretary's job, sitting on the boss's lap, as she takes notes from Tom Hurley, president of the student body. Pat Bailey, Secretary of Records, was responsible for the quick and accurate tallies of votes for queen, council, and cabinet elections. To speed up voting and the counting of votes, Wasson students used voting machines for cabinet elections. Keeping the student body informed, Pat kept the min- utes of each cabinet meeting and posted them on the bul- letin board in the foyer. Other important purposes of Records Committee were to stimulate new friendships among the members and to provide the opportunity for students to work for the good of their school.

Social Makes Dramatic Use of Color and Sound SCOTT BROWN pauses to discuss with Jerry Fogg the possibilities of new decorating ideas that would add creativeness and impressive moods to Wasson's dances. Three to four miles of crepe paper, hundreds of yards of cheese cloth, sticky rolls of masking tape, and the inge- nuity of creative Social Committee members served as the basic structure for each dance. The unique and imaginative Hollywood fog machine highlighted the Christmas f'Sno Fantasy. The weeks of planning made possible the memo- rable nights of Oriental Autumn,'l Moonlight and Roses, and the Inaugural Ball. Providing Hcolor and sound . . . the tones of percus- sionw was Secretary of Social Scott Brown's primary aim. At committee meetings before each dance the members decided theme, colors, ceiling type, and sub-committee heads. Individuals were allowed to work independently as members looked to area business establishments for some of the major decorations. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Jack Frost, Wasson's dances were presented with impact. LOST IN A MAZE of crepe paper, Walt Hooker works atop a towering scaffold, fastening the strips to false-ceiling wires. GRAND FINALE of all Social Committee's efforts arrives with the closing hours of Oriental Autumn. fl. y l -r i if I
