At the end of Spirit Day a beat-up car lay upside down on the grade school playground. It was purchased as part of the day's festivities and symbolized what the wildcats would look like after our boys got through with them. Teachers' names were painted on the car, and students were allowed to hit the 'teacher' of their choice, one hit for a dime, three hits for a quarter. V--...c .-,.N .

President David Cotton presides at all STUCO meet- ings, appoints committees, and is frequently called up- on to represent our school and to appear before the stu- dent body. Gayle Williamson, vice-president, presides over the meetings in Dave's absence and heads all committees. Secretary Sherryl Melrose plays an important role as she and Richard Click, treasurer, handle most of the paperwork involved in keeping an important organization such as Student Cotmcil running smoothly. Sherryl keeps attendance records, takes minutes at all meetings, writes letters, and gets them in the mail. Richard keeps the Council informed on finiancial affairs, counts and rolls money, and assists in bookkeeping. Class Favorites and Warrior-Princess elections are sponsored by the Student Council, and they also spon- sor such school-wide activities as the Car Smash- Spirit Day, 89er's day, Slacks and Sweatshirts Day, Shorts Day, TWIRP week, and Freshman Day for the student body. The newly redecorated Sugar Shack is also sponsored by the council. The officers work with the sponsors and Mr. Garrison to set up dates and regulations for these' activities. At the presentation of class favorites in December, Mrs. Kimbley, sponsor, presented each girl with a charm and corsage, and each boy with a tie tack. H I I 1 : 'qlrfair
