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.
