“CONSTITUTION  CONTROVERSY”

by Ron Post

 

 

The student body of Boone High School has recently voted in a new constitution.  There are many students who still are disappointed on a few controversial points.

 

The new constitution was written to update the deadwood in the old constitution.  In regard to the clause which requires all clubs to obtain a charter, Mr. Ferguson stated that this would not disallow any club from forming.  This clause therefore seems only one for formality and adds deadwood to our new constitution.

 

Another controversial point is that of not having a required grade point to be able to run for student council office.  There can be found constant pressures on grades not only from teachers but also from employers and colleges.  If Boone High School is to prepare its students for the future, perhaps it should stop focusing such a large emphasis on extracurricular events.  Remember that a school is supposed to be active as an academic institution.  If a student cannot maintain a 2.0 grade average then he should devote more time to his future.  It has been stated that it is undemocratic to have a grade point qualification.  Yet everyone has the same opportunity to take books home and try for good grades.  I say that this is true with little exception, and a student can prove himself a responsible citizen.

 

 

“AS WE LEAVE THESE HALLOWED HALLS….”

 

With summer on it’s way, many students have made plans on ways to spend it, whether they are for a vacation, job, or furthering an education.

Kathy Pestotnik:  “I’m moving to Ankeny…Need I say more?”

Pat Long:  “I’m going to work at the U.T. Bar Ranch in Glendevey, Colorado.  It’s a family resort ranch, I can’t wait to get there, but I suppose once there I won’t be able to wait to get back to college.”

Jo Hendricks:  “Nell Erickson, Jan Giles, and I are going to work in Grundy, Colorado, at a resort restaurant.  We’re all excited about it!”

Mr. Ferguson:  “I’ll probably take a course at Ames, but I’m going to forego a summer vacation for some ski trips this winter.”

Mr. Criner:  “I’m going to clean my garage.”

Mr. (D) Bailey:  “I’m going back to Kansas to school.”

Mr. Oliver:  “I’m going to enter a monastery this summer.”

 

 

“MEMORIES…..”

“1967 PROM-BANQUET:  THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS”

The many hours of hard work put in by the junior class and their sponsors paid off the moment the first couple walked through the looking glass into the wonderful world of Alice in Wonderland.

The gala evening began at 6:30,  April 21, with the Junior-Senior Banquet.  The sophomores did a good job serving their upper classment and the cooks fixed a meal fit for kings.  A brief musical program followed Dan McMullan’s welcome to the seniors, and the students made their way home.

An hour later, the grand march began led by the junior class officers.  The couples danced for three hours to the fine music of the Idylls.  As the last strains of the music died out, the couples headed fro the auditorium for a comedy-magic act with audience participation.

After an hour and a half of these hilarious antics, the couples voyaged to the country club for the Ki Hi Kapper.  The dimly lit atmosphere provided a romantic background for more dancing.  Following another feast of hamburgers, French fries, and Cokes, the couples gathered for the moment of suspense as Donna Jacobson and Denny Behn were crowned queen and king.

Two comedy acts, one magic and one musical ended the memorable evening and everyone ventured out into the cold early morning, tired but happy.
