STUDENT COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION The Student Cooperative Association is the most im por tant organization in a high school. Every member of George Wythe High is automaticallya member of the SCA. Since the membership ofthe school is so large, the council is m ad e up of home room and class presidents who represent the students and re- port the bu s in e s s of each meeting to their h o m e r o om . Thus, student government is carried on by a few members who bring to th e m e eting s , problems concerning each homeroom. Each year, the SCA awards em- blems for outstanding scholarship and leader- ship. It also gathers baskets for needy fami- lies atChristmas and sponsors the concession I stand at the football games.

Besides printing the news this year, the Wi- ther-Wane helped sponsor a Home- coming dance. The paper also held an election for Que en and King of Basketball. In the spring, delegates will go to the annual S.l.P.A. Con- vention. For the first time this year George Wythe High School has had a journalism class, and everyone on the Wither-Wane staff had to be en- rolled injournalism.
