Freshmen Who was the president of the Freshman class at Douglass dur- ing the 1982-83 school year? It was not Billy Carter, nor Richard Prior. The president for the 1982-83 school year was none other than Jeffry Bond. Jeffry had three major goals for the school year: to increase school spirit, to increase atten- dance at all games, and to in- crease counseling sessions. The latter, he felt, was vital to the understanding of the new re- quirements and the switch to the semester system. Jeffry went into office with the drive and de- termination to accomplish some- thing for his class. He felt it was his duty to get the job done. Jeffry ' s word of advice for his classmates was to Have some one to look up to so you can see how hard they tried. Jeffry hoped to run for future offices and eventually become a major factor in the student body government.
