Emma Cannizzo heads 1981 Sunburst staff The 1981 Sunburst received more than a thousand entries from DHS stu- dents and sold fifty-two subscriptions in the first four weeks they went on sale. The cover of the 158 page book was red and blue with a picture of a futuristic Sunburst. The Sunburst sold for $5.00 until January 31 when the cost became $6.00. Twenty-nine DHS seniors spent second hour under the supervision of Mrs. Harvielee Moore working on the Sunburst. The Sunburst was edited by Emma Cannizzo and her assistant Susan Sayre. Art editor was Anna Ellrich and her assistant was Vin- cent Baeza. To help the four typists get the liter- ary magazine out on time, the Sunburst purchased a new self-correcting type- writer. The rest of the staff was made up of seven printers, five students in charge of correlation, and two in charge of the index. Students had to write a letter of appUcation to Mrs. Moore for the jobs they wanted. When choosing poems for the Sun- burst, only Mrs. Moore and editor Emma Cannizzo knew the authors. Each of the staff members judged the copy on how well it was written, what it had to say, and if it was valuable to the Sunburst. They voted either yes, no, or maybe. A yes was worth three points, and a maybe, which meant it had to be touched up, was worth one point. The top 33% of the writings summitted were in Sunburst. The main money-making event for the Sunburst was the senior-faculty basketball game, and at 50© a ticket, the Sunburst cleared $276.00. The fac- ulty won the game 37-29. Fifteen fac- ulty members participated, and Bill Allen was high scorer with 1 1 points. Twenty seniors participated with David Lara scoring eight points. 1.

Ronnie Viramontes elected State President One of the most active organizations at DHS is the Student Council. It oper- ated under the leadership of President Ronnie Viramontes. Vice President Patty Cortez, and sponsors Don Cam- eron, and Mrs. Mar ' Lou Janecka. The Council spent most of its time and effortr sponsoring special activities which make school life more fun for many Wildcats. Projects of the year started with Homecoming and Wildcat Week with student activities including Hat and Button Day, ' 50 ' s day and sock hop. A main project was the annual Christmas Road Block to raise money for their state project at New Mexico Boys Ranch. They collected $93.10 from travelers at the Gage rest s top west of Deming after giving out free coffee and donuts to travelers. Another project was the March of Dimes which brought in 300 from their door-to-door campaign. Deming Student Council won the Sweepstakes award for the school divi- sion in the Centennial Parade. James Benzie accepted the trophy. Sarah Finke was in charge of the time capsule put together as a Centennial project. The Council ' s only fund raising was the operation of the Hut. The winter food drive went poorly with very little participation in the high school, but with better participation in the elementary schools. A workshop on parliamentary procedure was for all Student Council, HOSA, and FHA members. Those attending reviewed how to run an organized meeting cor- rectly. One of their big events was State Convention which was held in Santa Rosa Feb. 12-14. First Vice-President Ronnie Viramontes was elected State President, a first for a DHS Student. Mark Harrison completed his term as Vice-President of the New Mexico Association of Student Councils. Dele- gates to state were Ronnie Viramontes, Patty Cortez, Dina Marquez, Teresa Gifford, Lisa Hooten, Pam Frosch, Craig Harrison, Steve Bean, Elena San- chez, Brent Hunt, Luis Campos, and Mark Harrison. Patty Cortez was elected the new vice-president of the S.W. District Association of Student Councils. 1.
