Short Mr, lvitiitrmzv ill Who made our Senior class so successful? Of course, our hard working Senior Executive Council! Under the supervision of Mrs. Zeiler and Mr. Martorelli the Senior Executive Coun- cil planned many activities and special events that made our last year in high school a pleas- ant memory. The members of the council were presi- dent, Harry Popleg vice president, Bob Tay- lorg secretary, Libby Phelps, treasurer, Janet Moore - and the homeroom representatives. These capable people managed the business of the senior class and tried to please every class member. The Hobo House was planned by the Executive Council. lt was held at the North Park Lodge. A square dance highlighted the evening and the traditional play was put on by the Green Jacket Boys. Besides planning the successful activities, the council made the necessary arrangements for the Dinner Dance which was held in March, the senior class play, and the class day activi- ties. They also ordered the graduation an- nouncements and name cards. Each senior homeroom was posted on the class events by their representatives, who also collected the class dues. The Senior class can be proud of the ex- cellent job that their council and sponsors did. They graduated from West View with many delightful memories.

Schnne One of our most important civic groups, the Board of Education, is chosen by the citi- zens of the school district. They have proven capable of supervising school matters, and to them falls the task of passing final approval on all plans concerning the school. They have many and varied problems. They must, among other things, secure maintenance for the ten buildings in the North Hills Joint School sys- tem, prepare a budget, plan any additions to old buildings, or entirely new ones, where popu- lations are increasing at a rapid rate, hire all personnel, such as teachers, secretaries and others. The School Board has many plans for the high school. Among them is the addition of a new wing to the high school building. It would provide a new gymnasium, new music and shop rooms, and science rooms. The Joint Board, a civic group of which our school and community can be proud, is held in high esteem by students and citizens alike, for a year's job well done.

Here at West View we are proud to say that our Student Council is one oi' the strongest types ol' student government existing. Student Council plays a very important part in our students' school life. lt gives them a chance to express their likes, dislikes, and feelings toward the rules governing the school. The main purposes of Student Council are to plan all the assemblies, compose the student handbook, develop a good school spirit among the students, help coordinate the faculty and students, and govern the student body. One of the many achievements that Stu- dent Council attained this year, was the com- mendable record made in the magazine cam- paign. Selling SlS4,Z3llll worth of subscriptions by urging the students to raise that amount of money, the school was able to finance many worthy projects and have more and better as- semblies. Student Council consists ol' eight cabinet officers and as many representatives as there are homerooms. Bob McCartney was our capa- ble president who presided over the meetings and assemblies. The council meets regularly every Mon- day during activity period. Any additional meetings are held if necessary or in case oi' an emergency. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Metz, the council carried out many ol' its plans and achieved many of its goals during the year. The students of West View look to our Stu- dent Council xvith great esteem and respect. We realize that it is an outstanding governing body. With that thought in mind we have great desires to improve and better the school through our Student Council.
