Joe Frazer Expresses His
Views About Next Year
The winner of the school re-
election held here at Grimsley
on Friday, April 24, is Joe Fra
zer, a very concerned young man.
He is concerned about the things
which are criticized by the stu
dents here and expresses a sin
cere desire to hear these criti
cisms and do something about
them. His main concern is Stu
dent Council, and its lack of
touch with the student body.
“Student Council doesn’t reach out
to students with enough of a per
sonal touch,” he related in an
interview with this staff member.
He is at the present moment
seeking permission for a study on
representation of Student Coun
cils in other schools, in order to
discover the best methods of rep
resentation, that is, which will
involve students the most. He in
tends to reach students with a
Human Relations Committee, which
will replace the suggestion box.
This committee will serve as a
go-between for the students and
the council “chambers”. The mem
bers, largely non-council members,
will hear the complaints and sug
gestions first-hand, and can an
swer any questions asked in and
out of school. Joe plans to in
volve students in major council
affairs with vote, but to do this
will require a well-informed stu
dent body. Making all council
meetings open to anyone will be
a major step. Joe also plans to
Senior Class
ProjecI Cancelled
The MORP dance scheduled for
Saturday, April 25th, was can
celed. This was the result of an
insufficient number of tickets
sold. The Senior class sponsored
this as an additional money mak
ing project to their ribbon sales.
Money was refunded to the stu
dents by the individual ticket
salesmen. HIGH LIFE is sorry
about the previous article an
nouncing the dance. We. went to
press before the dance was can
celled.
work closely with the editors and
staff of HIGH LIFE to let the
students in on what’s going on
in council. At each council meet
ing, a copy of the minutes will be
drawn up for use in the paper, so
everyone will know what is going
on.
One of his problems next year
will be popular opinion. He wants
to carry on government affairs as
you want them to be carried on.
To find out how you want things
done, he proposes a system of
polls containing questions about
important issues in school life.
“The dances I hope will no
longer be a concern of the stu
dent Council, but be turned over
completely to the Youth Recrea
tion Committee,” he said. “And
as for the pep rallies, there shouldl
be more of them for more people..
If we have more people at the-
rallies, we’ll probbaly have more
at the games. And when you get
two thousand fans packed into
one side of a stadium all scream
ing their heads off, we can’t
lose!”
Finally, a completely new ideai
to our school is being proposed,
by Joe. It is called a Paperback
Book Exchange. Students may
bring in any paperback they have
and exchange it for another, no
matter what the difference in
price. This means that, in one
year, a student may start out with
one paperback on his shelf at
home, and at the end of the year
still have the same number, but
end up having to read a hundred
paperbacks free.
In general, Joe is hopeful. He
wants to do many of the same
things that all of us want to see
done. He has many new and orig
inal ideas that can work if he
has the support he needs. A presi
dent with over 2160 students in
back of him who care, can suc--
ceed in changing things for the-
better much more than one whose
students are uncaring, uncoopera
tive, or a bunch of critics. Help
him do the things you want done.
Give him support. GET IN--
VOLVED.
