Mrs. Melnnes. Aflzlefzb ASS0C'I.IIlLI.0ltZ The Athletic Association was formed to give all members of the high school equal representation in the athletic activities in the school. Governed by the Executive Committee, elected each year by the entire student body, it is an organization to which everyone may belong. This year the stu- dent body elected Robert Staples, president: Marion Little, treasurer: Betty Harper, secre- tary: Clyde MacKenzie, vice-president: Richard Le Clair, Senior representative: Henry Bailey, Junior representative: Burt Brine, Sophomore repre- sentativeg Mrs. Mclnnes. adviser. Mr. Lane had already been elected faculty manager. At the first ot' the year, a rally was conducted to start the membership drive. A skit. written by Betty Harper, was put on: this was followed by several speeches from members of the Council. The membership drive went over the top with all but four pupils joining. There were also many contributions sent in from boys now in the Armed Forces. During the year because the Senior representa- tive, Richard LeClair, left school, Anthony Arau was chosen to fill the vacancy. This year by voting amendments to the A. A. Constitution. girls' and boys' basketball became major sports. The Council also voted to award the football sweaters to those Senior boys who had earned them. i 4 Q - H- 4 - Y Q.,- b 5 I d . q O Ol V I -f 4 '
