K S BPS BPS This year's Student Council worked hard to involve and unite the student body and raise the school spirit, according to President Mary Gleeson. The members worked well together as a team, holding weekly meetings during the Wednesday Activity Period enabled members to be more active in getting together to organize various projects and to make the various decisions that the Student Council was called upon to make. Its work by no means ended with Homecoming. It was always busily working on many things to benefit the student body, like the Sadie Hawkins Dance, the new Interclub Council, or the Volleyball Marathon to help raise money for the classes and the school, But Mary Gleeson was quick to point out that the Student Council cannot take all the credit for its achievements: The administration has been very cooperative in listening to students! requests and granting all of those which were reasonable and workable.
