Instead of seeing officers in suits with coffee in front of them, they are in jeans, with Burger King take-outs littering their tables. Rather than taxes, the Con- gress President is discussing how much to charge for the Halloween Dance on November 1. Finally, a compromise is reached. As the President makes the voting motions le hears something like this: All tl ose in favor? Opposed? Sweet! ext ... Of course. Student Congress is not just a bunch of high school kids imitating adults. It is an attempt to represent ideas and to hear stu- dents ' complaints. As Congress President J.J. Cromer explains, Congress is the best way for students to express how they feel. It represents their voice in school matters. Although Congress has never ions actually had to use its power, this does not mean that it does not have any. Most students don ' t realize that if they want some- thing done or changed at school, their only hope is Congress, says Cromer. Congress works hard with the administration and the P.T.S.A. to obtain their objec- tives. As Corresponding Secre- tary Jackie Moss explains, The Some people think of Congress as just the kids who put together dances; but Congress really makes a more positive image for Sea- holm and helps out the community. 9 Charlie Leto upperschool dean, Charlie Scott, and the P.T.S.A. really respect the opinion of Congress. If we feel strongly about something, they help us carry it out. Congress has sponsored such things as the Blood Drive, the Canned Food Drive, Sledding Night, the Halloween Dance, and Teacher Appreciation Day, to name just a few. The money from these events is put in trust to Treasurer Heather Burch, and the money is then used to sponsor other activities and to buy the gift to the school. Being involved in Congress can take up a lot of time, but most Congress members will agree that it is worth it. As Recording Secre- tary Christy Sica states, When you put so much time and effort into something, it makes you feel great when you see the results. With a questioning glance. Vice Pres:c. Charlie Leto probes the Sophomore Clan delegates about the humor behind a previom comment. phow by B. Kasselmar n yXjJl (xAJ CONGRESS 39 i ,aj ' -

S,S., JO ' becoming a class officer re quires a competitive spirit com- bined with intense dedication. On the first day of school, each student who wished to campaign for a position attended a leader- ship seminar for 2 hours after school. Led by former class offi- cers, the students were advised of the proper leadership techniques necessary for achieving future goals. Speaking to their respective classes, the candidates presented their qualifications, goals, and past experiences in order to convince their classmates of their leadership abilities. But that is not all the campaign drive encompas- sed. Posters and political propa- ganda were spread throughout the halls to capture the students ' eyes and their votes. Once elected, the officers com- menced organization of Field Day. They concentrated primarily on the unification of each class. Although sophomore John Bur- leigh acknowledged that Field Day preparations were hectic and time consuming, he added, It was one of my best experiences as class president. Prom and Sadie Hawkins were next on the agenda for discussion. Although To be a successful and respected leader it ' s necessary to possess great communication skills, responsibility, en- ergy, patience, and most importantly, determina- tion. Kathleen Callahan the officers rely a great deal on student volunteers, much of the responsibility is entrusted to them. As a class officer, one must listen to the suggestions of his or her fellow students. As Sophomore Vice Presi- dent Leesa Miller elaborates, 1 feel good about myself for helping other students. She then went on to say, One achieves leadership qualities by recognizing the needs of the student body. Jim Boreland, the faculty advisor, agreed with Leesa ' s statement. A student leader is expected to as- sume the responsibilities in making the decisions and policies that affect the student population. Senior Class President Mitch Fischer describes student leader- ship as something which a person can benefit from. It relates to many things that I find every day. Junior Class Treasurer Geoff Hockman Sophomore Class Secretary Gwen Robison and President Ramsey Alsarraf listen listens to the congress officers as they explain intently during a congress meeting as the upcoming holiday candy cane sale, upcoming activities are discussed. p ow by Paul Donar pholo by Paul Donar CONGRESS 41
