 overnment ets oing “Attention! This meeting is hereby called to order,” was heard if you walked into the leadership room each Wednesday morning. Student Council had a producive year filled with exciting activities which in- cluded: Homecoming, the canned food drive, spirit week, prom, and officer elections. Although some thought student government a big joke, it was actually a lesson waiting to be learned by those who took their jobs se- riously. That lesson included learning how to work as a group, contributing ideas to a discussion, and leading in- stead of following. Having a variety of peo- ple was what made the council stand out above the rest. From those people came contrasting ideas and the ability to please the dif- ferent types of people in school. Along with all the fun and glamour of being in Student Council were the many be- hind-the-scenes duties: for- mal meetings, report com- mittees, and the changing of the marquis to name a few. The hard work and fun times gave council members and the student body the stuff memories are made of. Design by Jenny Prezkop. Photos by Tawnya Chitwood. On Career Day.

panama mi rocedures roduce “Who cares if x equals 2? Will we ever use this in the REAL WORLD?” This was the feeling of many students to whom school became an aimless way to occupy time. Yet, Cooperative Office Education and Future Farm- ers of America, redefined school goals and earned the title Club of the Year. Each club applied school skills to earn money. C.O.E. mem- bers were selected accord- ing to their business skills, and were given jobs which stressed their abilities. F.F.A. worked towards the same goal but through dif- ferent means. “You buy an animal, train it, prepare it, and then sell it to make a profit,” said President Jim Richards. F.F.A. and C.O.E. suc- ceeded in motivating stu- dents. They showed how school is useful, and if x doesn’t equal 2, maybe it equals fun, learning, and profit. e ampus Activities 51
