Weaver’s governing body, the Student Council, is one of the most active and productive organizations, as well as the most powerful. Led by President A. Sheila Howard, the Stu¬ dent Council has had a busy year, planning such activities as the highly successful Exchange Days with Conard and Hall High Schools, numerous dances, and a study of traffic safety. The Junior City Council election this year was of special importance. This year’s election was a first, one to be re¬ membered for many campaigns to come. A new precedent was set when four students, Fred Jainchill, Milton Johns, Frank Rudnick, and Bobby Williams ran together on the same ticket as “The Team.” After an overwhelming win at Weaver, Mil- ton Johns went on to further victory by capturing the race for mayor of the J.C.C. One of the major accomplishments of the year’s council has been lowering the grade average to a B for final exam exemption for seniors.

You know you really want it. . .”. This is only one of the sales tactics used by the Boys’ Club members in selling their pen¬ cils. The Club donated the proceeds of the sale to the school to buy new equipment. Members of the Arts and Crafts Club became side¬ walk artists while painting billboards at the Athe- neum. The artists painted on the drab boards to liven up the scenery during the renovations of the Atheneum. Insurance employees had a chance to buy handmade jewelry and artifacts at the Arts and Crafts-sponsored sale held at the Aetna.
