Student CouncilRep. Walks OutOn ‘Fun, Games’

Student Council met Monday,May 2, during first period.

Martin Kimeldorf, student coun-cil representative from Miss Ful-ton’s fourth period InternationalRelations class, expressed theopinion that student council isserving no useful purpose anddoes not concern itself with theimportant school problems. Withthe backing of his class, 26 to 4 hewas recalled or, more plainly, hewalked out of the meeting. Themajority of his class does not wishto be represented. His class statedthat student council is 45 minutesof fun and games and it isn’t fairfor one to have fun if everyonecan’t.

There was discussion onwhether the four people who pro-tested his dismissal could be rep-resented in the council. The stu-dent council voted to let themelect another council member torepresent the four opposing mem-bers of the class.

At the last meeting, CarolynBeverstock submitted a complaintthat the food is inferior to that ofother schools and that prices aretoo high for the quality of foodreceived.

Starting this-coming Monday anew system will be used. Studentswill be able to purchase singlelunch items if they do not wantto purchase the entire lunch. Thiswill be a trial run to determine itseffectiveness for next year. Thismay or may not affect the price ofthe food.

Jim Cuthbertson, by a requestof finance commissioner LeighPomeroy, will form a committeeto check into stores which mightgive discounts to students withStudent Body Cards. Althoughthis may have no effect on nextyear’s S.B.C. sales, it will offer thestudent more for the $3.50 he paysfor his card.

'Bye Bye Birdie' OpensTonight at 8 in M-U Room

Tonight the culminated effortsof over 125 members of the Musicand Drama Departments and 30faculty members will present thespring musical, BYE BYE BIRDIE.The cast and orchestra have beenrehearsing since early March, andthe directors seem pleased withthe way things are going.

Said Choral Director, Mr. Rob-ert Clark, “This is the best chorusI’ve ever worked with,” and, headded, with a smile, “Not count-ing the faculty.” He continued,“Each person is well-suited for hisor her part,” and he voiced a greatdeal of optimism about the com-ing production.

The Director, Mr. George Ward,said that, “At the moment it iseven funnier than the Miss Teen-age America Pageant.” Continu-ing in a more serious vein headded, “Some of the scenes in thisshow are better than those I’veseen in professional productions”and he spoke of the great “en-thusiasm” existing in the cast andcrew.

Choreography is one of thehardest and most ticklish jobs inany musical production, and MissStewart has done a fine job ofworking out numbers and rehears-ing her dancers. The orchestra un-der the direction of Mr. Beckeris well-rehearsed and promises toadd much to the quality of theshow. Also to be commended areBeth Means, Student Director, andStudent Music Director Scott Oak-ley, who have given up much oftheir time in keeping the produc-tion rolling.

BYE BYE BIRDIE promises tobe one of the best and surely oneof the most successful musicalsever presented at Woodside. BothMr. Ward and Mr. Clark predictedthat all four nights will be soldout, and that there will not beenough tickets to sell at the door.They both urge students to buytickets as soon as possible.

Tickets sell for $1.25 (general)and $l.OO (students with SBC andchildren). The production willhave repeat performances May 14,20, and 21.

Council ElectionsTo Be Held EachSemester Next Year

Semester basis election of Stu-dent Council representatives willtake effect next fall as a result ofthe amendments acceptance inApril’s primary.

The Constitution formerly readthat each basic course class electeda Student Council representativeat the beginning of each year andhe would serve the entire year. Itnow reads, “Student Council rep|resentatives shall be elected on asemester basis and may hold officéboth terms.

The amendment required apj-proval by a % majority of the stu>-dent body after being proposed bta Student Couhcil mepaber, passedby % of the Council, and referredback to the basic course classesfor approval. Having met all theserequirements, the amendment isvalid.

57% of StudentsVote in Election

Fifty-seven per cent of the Stufdent Body voted in the generalelection on April 28 and-29. 1180votes were tallied out of a studen|body population of 2085. Thefreshman class ,had the. largesjtturnout with 64.8%. The juniorswere second with 62,2% and thésophomores were third with-58.5%turnouts. The seniors, as usual,were last in voter turnoutwith only 48.8% of the class votj-ing.

Of the total vote, the boy-girlpercentage was 49.6% of the boysand 50.4% of the girls. The frosh,sophomore and senior boys out-voted the girls by only 35 votes,while the junior girls outvoted thejunior boys by 28 votes.

This year’s vote turnout waslower than 60% turnout last year.The probable reason for this wasthe lack of interest shown in thenominating convention.

Letters To The EditorDear Editor:

For some time now the Wood-side World has displayed muchapathy concerning little knownsports or activities. This is un-fortunate. However, when oursuccessful tennis team receives aslittle support as it does .some-thing is amiss. Consider the recordof the tennis team; four consecu-tive SPAL championships. Yetthis year no mention has beenmade of this. What is worse isthat when the team loses an im-portant match no reference ismade. In a lazy attempt at cover-age it is said that a good Wood-side team will meet with stiffcompetition from two schools—nomention of a key loss. At this theteam wonders, is it worth it? Ifthe school does not care, perhapsit isn’t. Let us hope, however, thatin the future something is doneto stimulate more school interest.

Alan Schmierer

Whenever any person or groupacts in an usual way of against thestatus quo many misapprehensionsand wrong inferences arise inten-tionally and unintentionally,Therefore, we feel that it isis incumbent upon us to explainthe boycott of the student councilby Miss Fulton’s fourth period In-ternationalRelations class.

Also, it is our duty to act in aresponsible manner and offer con-crete suggestions.

The reason for our boycott is be-cause we feel that student govern-ment (specifically the StudentCouncil) is non-existent in that itacts in a petty and non-academicway. School is supposed to be aninstitution of academic learningencompassed in an intellecutal at-mosphere. Social life should besecondary to academic life. Theimportance of class rings andgarbage cans is dwarfed whencompared to more important is-sues. Issues which not only affectus as students but as citizens.

Therefore we offer the followingsuggestions:

1) More dialogue on racial im-balance (such as an assembly onthis topic).

2) Discussion of school bondsand action committees set up topromote such bonds.

3) Debate why publicity forfootball games are free but foracademic activities (such as de-bates) is not free.

4) Investigating why bleachersare put in by the pool but thequality of the library is not in-creased.

5) Establishment of a commit-tee of four with councils to handlethe petty issues (such as classrings, pom-pon girls or color ofstudent parking lot, etc. . . .)

6) In general more discussionsof social problems, school prob-lems and academic problems inorder to generate student interestand action.

The important decisions and dis-cussions can not be left solely onthe shoulders of various clubs. Ifwe are to create meaningful citi-zens for a democratic society, to-day’s problems must be importantto the majority as well as the min-ority. That is why we look to stu-dent government to manifest thisinterest.

In conclusion, we will boycottstudent council until it can cometo grips with its responsibility notonly to the student body but alsoour democratic society. It must beremembered that we, the major-ity, do not wish to disenfranchisethe minority. Therefore, we willallow and encourage those whowish to participate in studentcouncil to do so. But, to do so asrepresentatives not of fourth per-iod but of those interested inparticipating.(This letter was signed by MartinKimeldorf and 28 of his support-ers.)

‘Ultra NationalismLeads to Fascism’

Mr. Grissom, Stanford under-graduate, spoke on “Nationalism”Tuesday, May 3, beginning a seriesof speeches on the forum “isms”sponsored by the IR club.

Mr. Grissom, who addressed a

crowd of about thirty students inroom C-8, expressed fear that in-creasing nationalism in the U. S.will lead to an eventual fasciststate.

He set down three steps thatlead a country to fascism: 1.) thedynamic loyalty to the state, 2.)a dictator surrounded by an elitegroup of advisors, 3.) the concep-tion that the people on a wholeare ignorant and helpless.

He stated that the United Statesis unknowingly becoming a fascistcountry because the people refuseto question the country’s actionsoverseas, give increasing power tothe president, and through wel-fare programs are willing to be-come dependent on the state.

Mr. Grissom made clear that hedoes not believe the governmentis aware of where the country isheaded, nor is in favor of a fasciststate. But a fascist state will re-sult unless Americans rise abovetheir feelings of nationalism.

Convention Calm;Participation Poor

The nominating conventionwas held at Woodside on April 23.It didn’t retain the reputation thatit had achieved last year. Althoughmany competent candidates werenominated, the organization ofspeeches and roll-call voting waspoor. The delegates themselveslacked the necessary enthusiasmto make the convention anythingbut a long 5 hours of monotonousspeeches and voting.

Last year there were manyplanned demonstrations, whichmade the convention exciting andinteresting. This year there wereno demonstrations at all.

The speeches this year rangedfrom a short thank you to the fullseven minutes allowed. Thespeeches were poorly received,and the delegates were very in-attentive. Since they didn’t payattention to the speeches they hadlittle to go on when they voted.

Next year with more organiza-tion and planning on the part ofboth the candidates and the ad-ministrators of the convention, itcan retain the enthusiasm that isvital to student participation inschool government.

‘Snack Cart’Breaks Down

After only nine days of serviceto the student body, the after-school snackcart was forced toclose down. Reasons for the per-mature death of this seeminglyperfect endeavor proved to be twosmall pieces of paper: a food re-tailing license and a countyhealth permit.

Before beginning the venture,the agreement was made with Mr.Bradley that all conceivable com-plications which the snackcartmight face would be looked intoduring the two-week trial periodbeginning April 18. The litterproblem proved to be controlableand the sales problem was notoverwhelming. But the difficultyof obtaining a proper license be-came apparent.

Since the snackcart was on aneveryday basis, the student bodywas told it needed a county healthpermit as well as a food retailinglicense (which the student storedidn’t have). At the same time,the student body was informedthat it couldn’t get these “littlepieces of paper” unless it wantedto go through quite a bit of redtape and expense first. It was de-cided that this monumental taskshould be put off until a more ad-vantageous time.

During its short existence, thesnackcart brought in a total of$70.61 net profit for the studentbody, averaging $7.73 net profitper day.

the House of Representatives? 131 97 353. Are you in favor of the repeal of Section

The poll was termed very successful by Karen Setterfleld, LindaNeumeyer, and Jim Wilder who were responsible for the survey.There seemed to be a lot of participation and enthusiasm by everyone who was involved.

However, aside from the enthusiasm, the poll also demonstratedhow ill-informed and unopinioned many of the students are in principleareas.

Karen Setterfleld stated, “Perhaps one reason for this was the wayin which the questions were worded, which caused many cases ofconfusion,” Karen also stated that the poll, “has very little significanceconcerning the candidates for governor and president because such asmall sample of opinions were expressed.”

TiJ&enc t&c s4ctian 02/Ua&By Peder Jones

Welcome to the Vacuum Clean-er (it goes where the action was... it gets down to the real nittygritty .

.. and cleans up all the

dirt).Hard Day’s Night: Senior Bob

Sullivan, whose recent adventureswould fill a pocket book, set anall-time insomnia record threeweeks ago. Bob went to Woodsidefrom 9:15 to 3:00, then did hishomework, ate dinner, then wentto night school at CSM from 7:00to 9:00, then worked the nightshift (10:00 to 8:00) at a servicestation. Five days, three hourssleep total, and lots of No-Doze. The service stationmanager then gave Bob thethumbs down: “You’ll kill your-self, and I don’t want to be re-sponsible.” Happy ending: Bob isnow living rent-free, in a cozyhut somewhere in Palo Alto, andstill is attending Woodside andCSM. Most amazing thing: onlyone of the hours of sleep accuredduring school time. Ho hum.

THE LINEUP: Poor show: Thattall dinner jacket walking aroundcampus Monday. Fair show: Tom’sPie Wagon. Good show: JerrySchwartz sunbathing in the park-ing lot first period. End of goodshow: Mr. Hutchinson.

MUG SHOTS: Bob Schrey,whose brave effort at creativepenmanship almost got him off thehook. Almost . . . Fred Henri, theSandy Koufax of the P. E. softballworld . . . Sue (Perle Mesta)Shoras, quite the hostess with themostess . . .Jon Kehe, who leadsthe league in lemon yellow fluore-scent Fillmorized desert boots . . .

The Beatle Sisters, who are no

longer related—or are they simplymultiplying and preparing tooverrun the school . . . Todd Wal-ton, who is better than ConwayTwitty ever was . . . Greg Ryback,who has perfected his siren voiceto the point where he pulled overthree cars last Saturday . . . TheWoodside World’s very own JuneHayes who writes her very owncolumn in Redwood City’s veryown Tribune . . .David Livingston,(I presume) who was ratherpushed when election officialswouldn’t let him vote twice in thefinal election—seems David readthe Constitution and found therewas nothing that says studentscan only vote once. Tough luck,I presume.

SOCIAL AND CULTURAL:Hooray for Career Guidance Day.The yearly tour through the FunHouse of the San Mateo CountyFairgrounds could not exactly becalled a failure. Scott Oakley maybecome a very good bricklayersomeday . . . Would you believethat the Freudian Slips will tourJapan this summer? I didn’t thinkso . . .

Contrary to popular opin-ion Drew King’s reason for leav-ing his post at A & W was notFur-burgers

.. . and then there is

the Felt Lake Fox Hunter’s Club,which mistook W. Pierces mangyhair for a pelt. Head him off atthe pass.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS:Good-bye Children, and this aboveall else: a rolling stone may notgather any moss but a new va-cuum sweeper cleans up.

FLASH! It was raining so hardon Monday that the gardenerscould hardly go out to turn off thesprinklers.

Tiffany Selected To RepresentWoodside at Summer Boys' State

Joe Tiffany has been selected bya faculty committee to attend the1966 California Boys’ State inSacramento this summer. Theconvention is sponsored by theAmerican Legion and is scheduledfor the first week of summer vaca-tion. Tiffany’s expenses will bepaid by the Redwood City LegionPost.

Boys’ State is a week long gov-ernment lab. It will bring to-gether almost 900 junior boys fromall over the state (most schoolssend more than one representa-tive). The students all live in thegigantic Cow Barn for the week.

At the beginning of the weekall boys are instructed to not men-tion where or what school he isfrom. He is assigned to one of 21“cities” (long areas in whichgroups of approximately fortyboys sleep and live), and is given$lOO in Boys’ State money (usedfor all transactions). The purposeof these procedures is to insurethat each person progresses onlyby personal merit.

The election of city, county andstate governments, and the forma-tion of a state-wide judicial sys-tem is accomplished within fourdays with little dependence on ad-visors. The government then func-tions just as the real state govern-ment does; it deals with individualCalifornia Boys’ State and Cali-fornia issues. On Thursday allBoys’ Staters travel to the Capitol,and are addressed by several StateGovernment officials, usually in-cluding the governor. During theafternoon the Boys’ State con-venes in the Senate Chambers,and the Assembly meets in theAssembly Chambers.

Last year’s representative fromWoodside, Pete Jones, was electedState Senator from his city. The1964 repersentative, Jim Fields,did not attend the convention be-cause of a AFS commitment.

Today Is Last DayTo Submit Art Entries

Today is the deadline for entiresinto Woodside’s art show. En-tries, which will be in the form ofpainting, drawings, ceramics andsculptures, will be exhibited inthe faculty dining room at theMay 20 and 21 performances ofBye Bye Birdie.

Judging in the various fields ofart will be a student, a facultymember, and an artist. Prizes willbe awarded for the best non-ob-jective, landscape, figure, andthree-dimensional art entries.

Most art items will be for sale,and the winning masterpieces willbe displayed in the school library.

Rehearsals of 'Bye Bye Birdie'Indicate Stellar Performance

Once again Woodside will bepresented with a fast-m o vin g,rousing musical comedy, “Bye,Bye, Birdie.”

“Bye, Bye Birdie,” the school’sthird musical, is unique in theamount of faculty horses (for lackof a better word) needed to makethe production a smashing success,and if the rehearsals are a pre-lude of what’s to come, it will beroaring finale.

Unfortunately, the playing aud-ience will never see or hear thecandid mistakes made during re-hearsals. This is good for the di-rector, but bad for the audience.For in these errors lie the truecomedy of the play.

For instance, the paying audi-ence will never hear Mr. Finkel’sauthoritative voice saying “Test-ing, one, two, three,” over thesame loud speaker in whichNancy’s Losey’s singing “Got alot of Livin’”.

Todd Walton, alias Conrad Bir-die, probably won’t forget to dis-appear behind the curtain afterhis solo on stage. He twiddled histhumbs and had a “Wish I didn’thave to stand out here” expressionon his face during rehearsal.

Where else but rehearsal willMr. MacAffey (Joe Tiffany) forgethis lines and take it out on hiswife (Mrs. MacAffey) or his son.

But of course the audience willsee the “Shriners Ballet,” andBraunreiter’s famous dance ofthe potted shriners, both of whichare unique everytime they’repracticed, and they might even getto see Mr. Finkel make funnyfaces at the bright lights. (He onlywears his sunglasses off stage.)

This is still only fair compen-sation for everything the payingaudience misses. They never seesuch off stage actions as Mr. Lei-pelt indulging in peanuts from acan. After a short poll, it was de-cided that he had the quickestfingers “this side of MonkeyIsland.” They also miss Mr. Kellerfetching his “tennies” in prepara-tion for the fast moving shriner’sscene, or Mr. Finkel crackingjokes for Mrs. Boettcher.

Yes, the paying audience missesa great deal, we hope.
