Council Sponsors Christmas Semijormal Dance LInderstanding that the members would have to work diligently during the year to attain the high goals set for them, the Student Council adopted the theme “Climb Every Mountain.’’ The signihcance of the theme was shown in the representation of goals as mountains. Each council member was presented with a challenge: to scale the mountains of school spirit, scholarship, citi- zenship, participation, and fellowship. As its primary purpose the council co-ordinated stu- dent actirities and serx’ices. Secondly, it developed leadership and responsibility of its members. Through projects and actirities the council rendered its service as an instrument of the student body. Each West stu- dent is represented by one of the council ' s members. Class presidents, twelve committee chairmen, club presidents, council officers, homeroom presidents, and the editors and business managers of the Tomahawk and the Bow and Arrow constitute the Student Council. Activities and projects included sponsoring three socials. Youth Appreciation Week, club recognition, and an orientation program and sending Christmas cards to soldiers in Vietnam. Committees, which were com- posed of interested student body members, carried out projects such as Rip-the-Ram Tek, the Student Abroad program, and the Christmas door decoration contest.
