Service Club Council
Undergoes Big Snafu
GHS’s four service clubs have
been indulging recently in a little
good-natured feuding within the
Inter-Service Club Council.
Last year some folks from the
Key Club, Los Condes, Junior
Civitans, and Junior C^nettes
got together and decided it would
be a good idea to form a council
to co-ordinate their projects. A
constitution was drawn up and
duly approved, requiring that the
clubs file their projects with the
council (not to be confused with
the Inter-Social Club Council) and
providing a penalty for a club
that duplicated another’s project.
A few weeks ago, the Junior
Civitans were fined five dollars
foi undertaking a project which
had been previously decided upon
as a joint venture for all the
clubs.
Later the Key Club started a
campaign that is usually conducted
by Los Condes. In retaliation the
Los Condes facetiously filed for
permission to publish the student
directory which has been the Key
Club’s major project for the last
ten years.
Remarked one observer, “If
things get much more confused,
you’ll have Los Condes boys out
hoisting the Civitan victory flags,
Charlie Garden inside the Los
Condes Whirlie Bird suit, and a
Civinette presiding at the next
Key Club meeting.’’

Open Houses Doomed!
It is with deep regret that I
must announce that the very suc
cessful Open Houses that have
been held at West Market Street
Methodist Church are in danger
of being closed du,e to the mis
conduct of a few individuals. It
is my hope that this attempt to
improve the city’s recreation will
not fall by the way-side as some
other attempts have because of
the vandalistic conducts of those
few. Kay Smith.
Student Council Sponsors
?{ew School Spirit Wee\
GHS student council members

Miss School Spirit representative
from each class.
Lila Wolff, chairman, and her
committee members, Ellen Fields,
head cheerleader, Sheila Sapero,
chairman of the youth recreation
committee, and Randy Blackwell,
representing the student body,
have arranged several projects to
Increase school 0irit during the
week of December 14-19. School
Spirit Week is, observed not only
to create a greater increase in
attendance at the athletic events,
but greater attention toward the
Honor Code and other events that
are directly connected with the
school
The slogan for School Spirit
Week was “A school with no spirit
is like eggnog with no kick!” A
dummy was hung under the clock
in effigy of Lynchburg High
School which said ’'Lynch Lynch
burg!” The week was begun by
Sheila Sapero with a devotional
and was ended by Roger Durham
with a final speech on Friday.
