Under the direction of Mrs. Hetland and the officers, the Pep Club has completed another year that has proved to be successful. New members were admitted to the club, which brought the membership to seventy-three students. To be admitted, they were given a written test which consisted of two songs and three yells. The student body re-elected Joyce Powers, Pat Powers, and Carole Anderson as cheerleaders, and elected Reuben Oldenberg to serve with this group in leading the songs and yells throughout the year. The fourth annual Homecoming on January 26 highlighted the year's activities. After a basketball game with Trempealeau, a dance was held during which last year's royalty, Jean Holter and James Mau, crowned Queen Mimi Eckert and her king. President . .

Led by the instructor of Vocational Agriculture, NormanN. Rowe, the FFA department achieved highest honors for its livestock exhibits at the Wisconsin State Fair last summer. Highlighting its year of prosperity, the West Salem FFA meat team represented Wisconsin as state champions at the American Livestock show in Kansas City. Team members were Morris Meyer, Ronald Schild, and William Schomberg. The team placed in the GoldEmblem Award group, which is the highest conferment in this national contest. Morris Meyer placed in the Gold Emblem Award group for individual judging, while Ronald Schild and William Schomberg both received high honor in the Silver Emblem Award group. For the twenty-fifth consecutive year, the FFA, cooperating with the FHA, sponsored a Christmas mixer, The third Coulee Conference HarvestFestival was also one of the outstanding social events of the school year. To conclude their year of work, the boys are planning a long trip, probably to north- ern Wisconsin.

STUDENT COUnCIL Last year the Student Council was organized to give students the opportunity to take an active part in self-government and to learn the principles of living and working in a democracy. A constitution was drawn up which enabled the Council to work effectively. This year the Council again organized by electing officers, who were chosen from the junior and senior classes, and three representatives from each class. Working with its advisers, the Council presented new ideas and worked out old ones for the improvement of the school. Through its influence, a fairer and better method of grading citizenship was introduced. Throughout the year our self-governing body rendered solutions and decisions on various other problems which occurred. Because of the harmony created between the faculty and student body, the Student Council proved to be successful in its second year organization.
