NEW TRADITIGNS Accomplishment was the keynote of General Wil- liam Mitchell High School's first Student Cabinet. Headed by John Frazee, associated student body president, Cabinet had complete charge of the Dedi- cation Weekend activities, involving such class com- petition as the bomb hunt, the chariot races, and the powder puff football game. Other responsibilities of a more serious nature al- lotted to Cabinet were coordinating various commit- tees and approving treasury items and club con- stitutions. Because this was Mitchell's first year, Cabinet had the added responsibility of setting up traditions for the coming years. Mitch Marauder, the official mascot, was chosen from many suggestions contributed by Mitchell students. Another tradition developed by Cabinet and Coun- cil was the introduction of class flags, bearing the class colors, motto, and emblem. Instead of the usual class rings, Mitchell students elected to have a school ring - the same for all three classes. Another tradition introduced by Cabinet was that of the Mitchell Pep Bomb, awarded to the class displaying the most spirit. To accomplish the goals set up by Cabinet, ten students were elected to aid John Frazee in governing the school. These were Kathy Graff, Gail Garrigan, Mike Hendricks, Earnie Blue, Pam Aman, Cheryl Salmon, Dianne Sparling, Phil Dixon, Brian Clarke, and John Fletemeyer. Mr. Charles Gaul served as advisor.
