Council faces many challenges 'jou CM-fT VJICrt AV ISIE ttf Student Council President Dave Kemmer led the school through a rigorous campaign of activities which began with homecoming week festivities. For the second consecutive year, afternoon classes were dismissed for class competition day in Stanley Park. Class competition included the pie eating, marshmallow stuffing, pyramid building and spitting contests. StuCo once again sponsored a successful Morp. featuring the music and light show of Q-2. Morp is the traditional semi-formal dance held at the beginning of Christmas vacation. The school administration again consented to the addition of a ski day in the winter calendar. The students were dismissed after lunch, when buses then took them to Hidden Valley Ski Area for an afternoon of skiing at special rates. Competitive jumping and slalom events were held. An evening of dancing in the student center concluded the day’s activities. Assisting Kemmer in StuCo offices were Ty Ricker, vice president and Laura Schroeder, secretary-treasurer. The Student Council had the responsibility of approving all money-raising projects for classes and clubs. In all-school officer elections held May 28. students selected Jim Dickinson to be StuCo president for 1980-81. Also chosen in the elections were Lisa Wenger, vice president and Lisa Abrames, secretary-treasurer. DOUBLE CHECKING.

Choir has busy year Choir students had a full slate of activities planned for the year. To start things off, they performed the annual fall concert, which was held Oct. 26. The 36 members under the direction of Mrs. Claudia Irwin, sang popular favorites such as “You Needed Me” and songs from “South Pacific.' For the first time ever, the show choir, a group of eight choir members, presented a fall musical, “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown.’’ The six-man play was held Dec. 7 and 8 in the high school theater, with a double cast switching performances. Show choir also sang for the Association of National Park Wives, Allenspark Men’s Club and Newcomers, last fall, along with numerous other local clubs. Select choir also presented a Christmas program on Dec. 11. The selections were chosen from Handel’s “Messiah” with featured soloists from the group. They then took a break from singing to ready themselves for their musical, “My Fair Lady,” which was presented April 11 and 12. Preparations for the musical took much hard work, but in the end it turned out well worth the effort. On May 20, the choir members performed their last program. “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing,” “Even Now” and “Trying to Get the Feeling Again” were among the songs featured, along with two spirituals and solos by the members. Mrs. Irwin’s home was once again the site for the annual steak fry dinner. Mrs. Irwin furnished the steaks and underclassmen furnished salads and desserts. On May 17, they traveled to Denver to see the musical, “Annie”, at the Denver Auditorium Theater. The repeating fund-raiser was the choir-sponsored paper drive, held in back of the school. This program is associated with Eco-Cycle in collecting newspapers and aluminum cans. Money from the drive went to the musical and help cover the cost to go see “Annie.” SHOW TIME.
