Records HAPPY BIRTHDAY was heard practically every day of the school year. The Records Committee, under the watchful supervision of Debbie Sauerhagen, Secre- tary of Records, began an ingenious program of sending a birthday wish to each student on his birthday. The Committee researched during the summer months for students' birthdays, and when school began, the Committee put a giant birthday card in the second floor showcase with the names of the students who had birthdays in June, July, and August. At the beginning of each week, Records Committee revised the list, changed the birthday card in the showcase, and delivered birthday cards to students. Earlier in the school year, the Records Committee sponsored a program in the cafeteria where students ' II I n ' I ' Students frequently saw Debbie Sauerhagen, secretary ofrecords,put- In a three U ch PGFIOCIS COU ld pay 3 dime f0l' ting up colorful birthday greetings in the second floor showcase. requests and have their favorite tunes played, RECORDS COMMITTEE-FRONT ROW: Charleen Kelly, Linda Raviotta, Susie Brunk, Debbie Sauerhagen, secretary of records, Nona Lindsey, Tricia Wendt, Mary Pennington.

6 Many hours were spent by the Assemblies Committee in order to present a colorful Homecoming queen assembly. Assemblies WE WANT OUR assemblies to be really entertaining and unique this year. These words served to remind Soozi Palmer, Secretary of Assemblies, the Assemblies Committee, and lVlr. Paris, faculty adviser, of the work in store for them. In order to help them accomplish this aim, they invited convicts from the Colorado State Prison, Dr. Fox from Colorado College, the NORAD Cavalcade of Music Band, and Mr. Pearson from Student Government Day. Much advanced planning allowed Wasson students to enjoy lectures and concerts performed by people hightly knowledgeable and talented in their fields. The Assemblies Committee also was in charge of queen presentation assemblies. Something unusual about the queen presentations initiated this year was that the queen candidates did not use escorts. Instead, full attention was given to the queen can- didates themselves. By keeping a tightly organized schedule, Soozi Palmer, secretary of assem- blies, was able to present special and interesting assemblies this year.

Safety WHAT? A COMMITTEE with 1800 members? Well, actually not, but every student at Wasson worked for this committee. Because of a new experimental policy, the Wasson administration turned the job of clean grounds and clear halls over to the student body itself. This change meant that only three hall- guards were necessary throughout the day. The three boys were Gary Hagopian, first periodg Bob Lockwood and Bruce Ray, both fourth period. Under the guidance of Mr. Kent Hill, faculty adviser, Secretary of Safety Keith Edquist and his committee, along with the students, kept Wasson safe and sound again this year. The indication is that this policy will be in effect during the 1968-69 school year. In the spring, Safety Committee planned an assembly featuring a prominent speaker, who addressed the student body on safety on and off the campus. Also planned for the spring was a Road Rally. Holding back the efforts of several students to enter the halls, hall guard Bruce Ray blocks the gate near the cafeteria after lunch.
