Student government stresses involvemen Students did a double take in November when they saw what they were lead to believe would be the introduction of Redwood High School’s homecoming queen can- didate at lunch. What they saw instead were student government leaders dressed up to mock the school’s homecoming ceremony on the day of Redwood’s home- coming and on the day the Trail- blazers were to face the Rangers on the gridiron. It was just one of many activities sponsored by the student government, who attempted to get as many students as possible involved in as many activities as possible. Never before in the history of the school were so many activities held and it seemed that nearly every week there was a student government sponsored activitiy. • RIGHT: Front: Commissioner of Publicity Donny Gallian, President Frank Nctto, Vice President Rick Johnston.
