Camations were the usual flower of the popular Send-A-Flower Days. President, was chairperson of Special Affairs which was in charge of Homecom- ing, Send-A-Flower days, and other activi- ties which arose. Tiffany Owen, chairperson of Communications and Secretary, worked mostly through homeroom, faculty, admin- istration, and students. Financial Aspects was chaired by Treasurer Brenda Broadus, and Spirit Commissioners Dave Kurze and Jim Kyle made sure rallies were successful. New committees have entered the scene over the past two years. The Graphics Committee added quality to the art work student government produced. AMHS ASB Productions was the Entainment Committee in charge of bands, DJs, and rock concerts. A new phase progressed with student govemment. lt membered sixty people with about three representatives per homeroom. Forty-one members of student govemment were elected, while the other nineteen members were appointed. We're building a tree system or a network which has Stu- dent Government officers at the top, but eventually spreads out so that everyone can be involved in Student Government, stated Fallon. For Sanchez, student govemment was a highly positve aspect of the Mitty communi- ty. lt's a good feeling being a part of a group that works together and gets things accomplished, she said. Working to make Mitty the best it can be was a challenge student government did not take lightly. Student government is a big entity at Mit- ty. lt comprises at least one-third of the activities happening on the Mitty campus. I think we have an unknown member on Student Govemment, that is the Lord, believes Fallon, I think the accomplish- ments of the program speaks for itself over the last two years. - Edrice Angry - 199

For the past three years Student Govem- ment has been directed by Michael Fallon. It has gone from a loose organization to an orderly one. This past year all changes were given a successful run. Last year various changes and re- evaluations took place. The meeting sched- ule was restructured and organizational charts were established so members knew exactly where they fit in. lf anyone walked into room 502 any day of the week during fifth period, they would encounter the hustle and bustle of student govemment, people scuttling from one side of the room to another, and hear the chat- tering din of people proposing their ideas and giving their opinions. What took place went beyond an ordinary general education class. The planning of activities and deci- sions on how they should run were made after school. Each ASB member had a particular job to- carry out so activities moved smoothly. The- president, Michelle Sanchez, kept order. She set the direction of the council. Other officers were in charge of various committees. Sanchez was chairperson of the President's Council which dealt with issues related to the school's philosophy, administration, and the school.

The kids were really getting into it. ZOO had managed to generate enough support to hold an attention-grabber a day at the De Anza Flea Market. One day in my Accounting class, com- mented Peggy Ervin, co-moderator, I was telling my students about the flea market. Well, at the time, some items were being hauled into the classroom. When the stu- dents saw them, they started inquiring about prices, etc. So I immediately began On a more serious side of things, FBLA is a structured, organized club with several officers to keep it that way. When a new FBLA chapter is started, an existing division must formally acknowledge and initiate this new club. The initiation went very well, said Spence. It included a candlelight cere- mony. Yet, even though the ceremony was formal, the club members managed to
