Miner an involved leader, mentor, and philosopher tudent Body President Kort Miner ran for Student Council because, I saw that the school needed help and I thought I could do just that. Kort made many of the Student Council decisions and carried a lot of responsibil- ity. lt was Kort's job to make sure that any activity passed by Student Council was carried through. However, Kort's position as President was not all work. Student Council is fun and I am enjoying it a lot, he said. Some new Student Council activities in- cluded a student exchange program, a fund raiser that provided relief to Mexico, music trivia on the morning announce- ments, and more teacher-student events, according to Kort. I feel everyone was closer. Students showed more pride all-around, said Kort. Kort also acted as a mentor and passed a bit of his philosophy on to students through his poetry. You might have a lot of troubles And your joys uery few Never giue up your battles There's uictory in store for you Even when the chips are down And no one is on your side You will always have something You will always have your pride And when your dreams turn to dust And the world blows them away There is always tomorrow Tomorrow is a brand new day So never think life is worthless Never think yourself poor For what lies in the future No one knows for sure Kort advised students to Keep your head up, there is talent in everyone. Just find your talent, make use of it, and that will make you a better person. By Amy Bowling I 16 Greenway News

The aroma of wet paint. One of the biggest events was having the school painted after 13 years. The school needed to be painted. The buildings were discoloring and they had graffiti and scratches in places, said Mr. Steve Knight, assistant principal of student activities. For the past four years students were asked what improvements they would like to see around the school. The most request- ed response was that the color of the school buildings be changed. A paint committee, consisting of students, teachers, staff mem- bers, parents, and administrators decided on the new colors and new design. The school was allowed 315,000 for the paint and materials. A district crew was used be- cause the cost of a licensed contractor would have been too high, according to Mr. Knight. Fifteen stationary buildings, and three portable buildings, and four locker shells were painted. A By Amy Bowling Photos By Knack Greenway News 17
