 wereta- A kenbyStu- deni Council so 0 that its contri- £ butions would long A he rernerphered as be- W ing unique. Its first ef- 0 forts went towards involv- A ing freshmen and sophomores in the annual magazine campaign. 9 The incentive of a treasure chest 0 filled with many prizes which opened with eight of the keys given for sub- 9 scription sales made profits equal to last 9 year's when all four classes participated. Juniors and seniors then sold candy that put a surmountable sum in the assembly fund. In the early part of the year, the council was without an adviser. Principal Clayton Northup stepped in temporarily until Daniel Cruttenden filled the position. As promised, social activities ranked highest amongst the council's achievements. From the first welcome dance in September to the farewell brawl in May, rocking sounds filled the cafeteria many times courtesy of the Student Council. Concerned with the continuous rivalry between the two schools, the councils of Whitehall and Northampton joined forces and financed a balloon race that smoothed ruffled feathers before the football game October 6. As the Christmas season approached ' White Christmas, a semiformal dance sponsored by the council, drew the attendance of 100 couples. The success of the dance was believed to be attributed to the first time attraction of a queen. Santa Claus appeared on the scene and crowned Wanda Boyer as the first Snow Queen. Constantly trying to increase school spirit, We Are Zephyrs shirts and class year initialed all purpose mugs were sold by the members. Governmental procedures were investigated and a new constitution changing outdated rulings was written. The student body ratified the revisions so that they will be put into effect next year. A final project was the sponsoring of the Spring Festival in May. Joe Lemoine, president; Scott Reph, vice president; Vicky Ffunsicker, secretary; and Chuck Howells, treasurer; provided able leadership. I believe that the Student Council did a good job, commented Vicky, however, the student body cannot just sit back and expect the council to do all the work. It would be beneficial for everyone if more students got involved and showed a real desire to improve their school. ,Hey we don't mess around is being painted on the press box by spirited Student Council members. A Home of the Zephyrs sign also greeted basketball Ians as they entered the gym. 18
