SE ICR EXEC Who was responsible for the wonderful times vve've had this year? The Senior Exec- utive Council, of course! This group, together with our class sponsors, Mr. Herman and Miss Conner, has planned the activities and special events that have made our senior year a meni- orable one. The council was made up of the senior class officers-Norbert Kaylor, president, Jim De Weese, vice-president, Betty lvlalonejv, secretary, Pat llarris, treasurer and Janet Lang, social secetary-and the homeroom rep- resentatives, Bob Binder, Jean Bovill, Bill Dosev, Norma llartman, Marcia Meade, Betty Ramsey, and Bill Young. These ardent council members, who fulfilled the desires of the sen- ior class, performed their job with diligence and tact. Q3 as?

This year, the group planned the 'tlfall Round Ho-Doxvnv as our class activity. This was the first time any class has attempted to hold an old-fashioned square dance. Much to the delight of those who attended, it was an overwhelming success. Other important duties of the council were collecting class dues, ordering graduation an- nouncements, and taking orders for name cards. Through the outstanding work of tliese students and the sponsors these duties were accomplished to benefit the senior class. They should be congratulated for their excellent work.

BOARD OF EDUCATIO These, the leaders of our joint sclicol system, are a most important civic group. They are chosen as school board members be- cause the citizens of the school district believe them capable of supervising school matters. Some of their regular problems are such things as securing maintenance for all ten buildings in the North Hills Joint Schools system, plan- ning new buildings or additions to the old ones in the districts Where populations are rapidly increasing, and, of course, somebody has to prepare a budget so this is another job of the School Board. This group must give the final word before plans can be carried out. All per- sonnel, including the teachers, secretaries, and various others, can only be hired by them. Plans have been made to purchase new equip- ment for the stage in the high school audi- torium, and to complete another wing of the high school building. This wing is to include a shop, music and science rooms and the long- needed and wanted double gymnasium. This year the board elected as officers: Mr. L. C. Morehouse, President, Mr. James S. McKain, Vice President, Mr. ll. G. Can- ning, Secretaryg and Mrs. Esther Hopf, Asso- ciate Secretary. The Joint Board meets every second Monday at the High School. An appropriate definition for this board would be that it is the policy-making group for the school. A group which has earned the thanks of everyone in the North Hills Joint School district for a job well done.

One of the first organizations to get into the routine of things this year was our Stu- dent Council. This governing body, composed of one representative from each homeroom, and the Cabinet Officers who were elected in the spring of 1950, worked hard trying to ful- full the wants and desi1'es of the students, The Council kept in touch with the individual stu- dents through the circulation of the Student Council minutes, which were distributed after each meeting. The Council functioned very smoothly this year and we can all agree that everyone benefited by its successful work. The greatest achievement of the year was the magazine campaign, which brought in a total of 34,437.90 Part of this money was used to purchase back-drops for the stage, and draperies for the auditorium. The other portion, of the money earned, was used for special assemblies. Among these assemblies were: Dr. Kelso, the noted archeologistg Mr. Nutchuk, lecturing on Alaska, the Judo ex- pertsg and other special speakers for festive days. These mentioned were only a few of the many educational and entertaining programs, which were presented. Only through the outstanding and effi- cient Work of Student Council President, Nor- man Brenneis, and Vice-president, Bob Mc- Cartney, assisted by a co-operative cabinet, could so many accomplishments be achieved. Guidance for the organization was capably provided by Mr. Jordan, Mrs. Hartmann, and Mr. Metz.
