L. Last spring four outgoing juniors en- tering into their senior year set out with one thing on their mind-to make the 1987-88 school year the best ever. This captivating group included seniors Ollie Cantos, president, Henry Molina, vice president, Tess Escobedo, secretary, and Rodney Injarusorn, treasurer. The Associated Student Body QA.S.B.J was always there to lend a helping hand. Mr. David Medina, sec- ond year Student Council moderator, proved to be hard working and dedi- cated. He coordinated all of the student government activities and when asked about the A.S.B. officers he replied, All of them are responsible, indepen- dant, and dedicated. They constantly go out of their way to help others and the school. President, Ollie Cantos was an inspiration to everybody. His main job was to preside over the Student Council, which consisted of all class of- cers and commissioners. Not having enough time was Ollie's biggest obsta- cle. As stated by him, It's difficult to keep up with the events going ong there's just not enough time to get ev- erything accomplishedf' Working right by Ollie's side was vice president, Hen- ry Molina. Henry is the presiding offi- cer of the Student Senate which includ- ed homeroom and club presidents. He 14lh7lhgf0f Excellence S . B. Teams Up also stood in for Ollie whenever he was not present. Secretary, Tess Escobedo was kept busy typing agendas, letters, and memos, getting people in touch with Mr. Medina, and planning meet- ings. When asked to comment on her job, Tess replied, The job as A.S.B. secretary has been a busy, new, and challenging experience, but it has been a lot of fun. Rodney Injarusorn under- took the job of treasurer. He controlled the A.S.B. funds which included those of clubs and organizations. He also kept track of the income and expenditures for all of these accounts. These four working together created a successful team which accomplished many tasks. Their two biggest successes were the used book sale and the im- provement of school dances. The used book sale generated more income than it had in previous years. Organization was the contributing factor to the suc- cess of the sale. With the addition of the large video screens, refreshments, and the new policy of allowing guest passes for underclassmen at the dances, the attendance and popularity increased tremendously. With a lot of time and effort, the A.S.B. attained their goal. They pro- duced an exciting and memorable year for everybody. O 006' ff 1 fi?
