The CounciI's on the Move! During the year the student coun- cil participated in and sponsored events from telethons to dances. Student Council did several com- munity service projects during the year. They worked at the lerry Lewis Telethon in October. In November for a Thanksgiving project the group gave a family can goods and a turkey. During Christmas the council helped the Santa Pal project by sponsoring two families by donating gifts as well as food. Also many of the members sang Christmas caroles for an area nursing home. Although the most popular school activities were the dances, a new program captured the fancy of many. They participated in a spirit seminar at K.H.S. in September. One hundred E.H.S. students went with the council to get new ideas on rais- ing spirit. As a result a group called Impact was formed. Three other projects were Teacher Appreciation Day, Student Council Awareness Week, and UStampede . Appreciation Day was given for the teachers in December. During a week in january student council had an awareness week, in which questions about student council were answered. A presenta- tion called Stampede was held for the student body which dealt with problems of present day teenagers. Student Council was an active part of school and community life.

. 'Q' ' G .stiff f , 'ff E ' n U Takes DBdiC3fiOh fOl' Success During the spring, students elected the senators and student council officers who would repre- sent them during the year. Posters were put up, campaign buttons were made, and the week long ordeal of campaigning began. The voting took place in the commons area on -Scan-Tron ballots. All of the candidateswaited nervously for the results at the end of the day. Even after they won, many of the new members had only a vague idea of what was needed to make the council a success, but by going to camp during the summer they learned all the essentials. Two groups attended different camp workshops, one at Texas Christian University and the other at Trinity University. At the camps members learned how to promote more spirit in school, how to communicate with peers and administrators, and how to better serve the community. Many new friends were made dur- ing camp, a fact which started cor- respondence between schools. Camp was fun as well as a learning experience. Once the council was elected, the work began under the supervision of David Shilling and Bill Farley. Stu- dent Council was broken up into seven different committees. Each committee came up with activities for the entire council to put into ac- tion. Student Council's main goal was to better and to serve its school and community. LEAVING from a student council meeting are Steve Olbrish and Bary Heidtbrink. THE pie-in-the face contest is always one of the most popular events during the year. Wip- ing pie off their faces are Zack Aoki, Coach Farley, Mr. lmbruglio, and Coach Crawford. Une of the biggest crowd pleasers dance-wise is homecoming. Danc- ing in celebration of a football victory are many of Ellison's students. Student Council 125
