24 General Assembly FROM AN ASSEMBLY at which Tarzan and Jane were present, to the sale of the Wasson telephone directory, The Bird Call, the 1967-'68 General Assembly kept the student body entertained and informed throughout the school year. General Assembly started the new year by sponsoring sock hops and the annual Student Council dance. Ideas considered for the latter part of the year were a service project for the community, a student exchange with another school in the state, a faculty symposium on provocative topics, and an art and hobby show. Under the chairmanship of Toby Kircher, the members attended leadership meetings at which prominent Colorado Springs citizens, including Mayor McCleary, spoke. The members were elected in the spring of last year after interested students attended a primary meeting. These people were then voted on to narrow the field of candidates to fifteen. These fifteen students then spoke to their classmates, and the ten class representatives were elected. Initiation of members took place at General Assernbly's installation Preparing questionnaires for students are Steve Steiner, Judi Genkireizig, Toby Kircher, and Julie Westerdahl

This purpose was given a good start toward fulfillment with a series of firsts. The Homecoming Carnival, lt's A Small World , organized by l.C.C., saw Student Council, Cabinet, the Foods Department and the band having booths for the first time. ln November, the council held a charter- signing ceremony in which sixteen clubs formally signed their charters, thus making each a recognized organization. l.C.C. also made changes in the annual Teacher Appreciation Day activities. The teachers were pre- sented with boutonnieres or corsages and apples, and instead of having the whole day taught by students, one period was considered Teacher Appreciation Period, with students teaching every third hour class. l.C.C. worked with Future Teachers of America in having the students as teachers. As part of their regular duties, each month the members of l.C.C. chose one senior girl and one senior boy involved in committees or some phase of school life to reign as senior sovereigns, and in thc spring chose as Club of the Year one club which proved most outstanding in its service to school and community. Lisa Girard, of Inter-Club Council, receives valuable help from John Knippers setting up the Homecoming Carnival, It's a Small World.
