STUDENT CGUNCIL l95Z was a great year for campaigns, political buttons, and election promises on the national scale. So it was also in Westy. After a hard fought battle for supremacy, the most capable candidates emerged vic- torious in the senior high election for Stu- dent Council offices in May. George Cush ably served as head of this active governing body with Art Zobel. acting as vice-president, ready to step into the top position at a moment's notice. The minutes were correctly and efficiently re- oFF1cER5f1efr to rrghrftiartwara Marshall. , Qfff ra ftvl kim-ard Prqkmq. 1 GQ chparAr7bl pit rcasurfr: orgc us . rust Cn: r .o C, HEC- rcslc cn corded by Barbara Marshall, and Howard Picking was put in charge of finances. Many projects were undertaken by the '52-'53 council. The president and his committee made possible one of the most successful pre-Ferndale game bonfires in the history of Westy. Several fine gym dances after basketball games were sponsored by this organization, and the beautifully trimmed tree which decorated the lower hall at Christmas time was credited to the Student Council. The action of the council best accepted by the student body Was that of furnishing buses as a means of transportation to the away basketball games. Many other reforms were proposed such as permitting Westmont students to attend all home games and activities free, and attempting to promote the idea of a junior-senior prom. As is always the custom, all of the assembly programs were under the careful supervision and guidance of the council and were run smoothly. Mr. Ott acted as faculfy advisor to this group, while Mr. Ackley gave his valuable assistance whenever needed. FIRST ROVV-lvfr to right-Gail Haffner. lovce Enqleharl. Barbara ffahn. Carolyn Clark.
