Repeatedly, a fault singled out was apathetic students. Existing club members did not attend meet- ings and potential members did not bother to join. For some reason, several students had lost interest in clubs. Linda Bednar, Student Council President, sapped the creative ener- gies of her group proving they could be successful, even if some clubs were not. Organizations such as the junior Beta Club and the Original Club of Hazen went together to back the Student Council in an effort to car- pet the Library. Mr. Larry Anthony, sponsor, said, The cooperation of students and sponsors illustrates what can be done when people es- tablish goals and are willing to work to achieve them. Profiting from cokes and candy sales SC members initiated plans for construction of a senior lounge to be built on campus. Officers were exempt from part of the responsibil- ity associated with this project as members actively involved them- selves. Student Council members proved clubs could meet sponsor activities and be largely successful. h lllwllff' I y ' I aylyiff 1 fl I ll MM ff r 1, ,f ff 1 ... H ' ,. IQ' ll Ia 'l, If If fl!

n 1973-74, Americans doubted everything from leaders to the state of the economy. With Watergate hanging over their heads, Senate in- vestigative committeemen continued to pry bits and pieces of infor- mation from the White House searching for a criminal link to President Nixon. I think it has caused the American people to lose confidence in na- tional, state, and local government, Rodney Bullock, junior. Increasing his reluctance to release vital tape recordings, Nixon intensified national belief that he was guilty of corruption. Yielding to pressure he turned them over to the Senate Watergate Committee. Still questioned were 18 minutes of blank tape supposedly erased by Rosemary Wood, Nixon's , Students share ideas CITSIS 6111, QOV61f1111CILl' on politics, energy crisis secretary. Although 88 percent of HI-IS's seniors believed Nixon had prior knowledge of the break-in, only a third believed he should be impeached. Mrs. Becky Louks, history teacher. Economic belt tightening dis- illusioned many government em- ployees, realizing gas and power shortages could no longer be easily overlooked. They were required to car pool to work and lower their thermostats to 68 degrees. I hope this crisis is not as long lasting as it seems. It has to get better! lane Plunkett, sophomore. Cutbacks on Christmas lights, demands for lower speed limits, and electricity conservation were grudgingly ac- cepted by citizens. Though no legis- lation had been passed requiring. it, gas stations voluntarily closed between 9:00 p.m. Saturday and 8:00 a.m. Monday. Iunior Ioe Adams said, It has cut down my driving some, but my dad still yells about the gas because we have a home pump. I still hot rod it even though I know it wastes gas! On January 6, an energy conscious nation moved clock dials back to daylight savings time. Lowering room temp- eratures to 68 degrees, Nixon hoped to accomplish a 5 per cent energy cutback. A local energy conservation commit- tee was created to work on cutbacks at I-IHS. Temperatures were lowered, non-essential lights turned-off and after- hour work and practices confined to afternoons. Elemen- tary representative onthe committee, William Bednar said, We are encouraging friends to cook better meals, use natural lighting, and switch off the excess juice. On the state level, Education spokesmen took a stand in favor of afternoon football and basketball games, a four-day school week and winter vacations for students. It's all a mystery to me, said Donna Chlapecka, seventh grader. joe Adams Political Controversy!73
