One of the most important clubs to the school was Student Council, a group of students who were dedi- cated to helping promote school spirit in showing leadership and getting the entire student body involved in the school. As defined by Student Council member Mike Sawyer, lt is the middleman between the stu- dents and the administration. Most people thought Student Council was a fun out-of-class activ- ity. ln actuality, it was a class that met seventh hour each day as well as spending many hours outside of school to work. The members formed committees which organized assem- blies and dances, both formal and informal: discussed fund-raisers, such as that for the new Kadet Bird cos- tume: made posters to promote sports and upcoming events: and thought of new ways to raise school spirit. ln addition to working on their own, some of the members attended retreats and workshops. Student Council took much hard work and dedication. lt was also a lot of fun and there were rewards: as Lisa Elges said, You get the re- sponse of the students and you learn more about them.

One of the most important end-of- the-year events is the distribution of yearbooks. Students look forward to this occasion through the year, but not many realize the hard work that goes into a school annual. The Building on the Best staff was made up of 20 members, all with ideas of their own. Many cre- ative talents went into the making of the yearbook, but it took much more than imagination. Long weekend hours were very much a part of being on the year- book staff. Members each worked on different sections of the yearbook and had to meet deadlines. The pho- tographers were also a part of the staff: they were often seen taking pictures at special, as well as daily. events. Students were also required to sell ads and books. The 1981-82 school year started for most students in August, but the staff members began brainstorming in June. The staff held a cook-out at the adviser's house to kick off a produc- tive year early in the summer. Some attended a seminar in Fort Collins in July and brought back ideas from na- tionally-acclaimed advisers. But stu- dents weren't the only ones who had to prove their dedication by staying after school and working on Saturdays. Mrs. Elizabeth Cutter pro- vided the guidance the fairly inexpe- rienced staff needed to produce the best book possible. A silver anniversary is in itself a special event. but with a new school also opening. the staff had many ideas and events to work with. During seventh hour in the yearbook room, the staff works at sorting school pictures Cbelowb.
