C.U- in D,C. Close-Up, Club of the Year, Discovers Our Nation’ Club of the Year and a trip to Washington D.C. were the rewards justly earned by the hard working and politically stimulated mem- bers of Close-Up. Club members attended weekly meetings, gaining and sharing po- litical procedural knowledge, with the ultimate goal being a week in our nation’s capitol. This was achieved by actively contributing to school spirit with numerous campus fund raisers and through contributions from civic organiza- tions. An interview with Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Con- ner and a luncheon with Senator DeConcini were just two of the once in a lifetime experiences shared by the sponsors and a S Roots score of students. Tours of our na- tion’s capitol and national monu- ments plus a dinner dance at a Washington theatre highlighted the week. Added to the opportuni- ty to meet with lobbyists, journal- ists, and congressmen to discuss issues ranging from student rights to international affairs, and the fi- nal result was a power packed week. Because of their hard work and outstanding stature. Close-Up cer- tainly earned Club of the Year. Design by Kirsten Bednorz. Photos by Karen Herba ugh.

The Challenge Leaders Strive For Main Goal Student Council is my way of representing our school the best I can.” These were the words of sophomore vice-president Me- lenda Mossman stated when she thought about the challenge she took this year. To everyone in- volved in Student Council, being a student leader meant taking on new and exciting challenges. Not only were there personal chal- lenges. but also school challenges as well. Besides organizing the biggest challenge, Homecoming, student leaders also looked forward to participating in Open House, put- ting together pep rallies, assem- blies, the Welcome Back dance, Westwood Weak, the Canned Food Drive, Staff Appreciation Week, MORP, and Prom all of which hopefully will become part of the Mustang tradition. Although the leaders are con- stantly busy throughout the year, never were they to forget their main goals — to make the student body feel like they belonged to the Mustang family, and to always strive to get them involved. Lead- ers also reinforced the motto they all learned to live by — Capturing the Challenge!” Design by Valerie Rubio. Photos by Greg Fresquez.
