Student Council members worked at Joy Nutt’s house, preparing and planning. Finally, they brought everything together Saturday morning to decorate West Elementary for the dance that night. Crepe paper, wires, bales of hay and makeshift tumbleweed provided a good day’s work for Student Council Adviser Debbie Setty and volunteer Mrs. Mary Gecowets.
