STUDENT COUNCIL OVERSEE WORK The job of student council is one of those many jobs that is overlooked until something goes wrong. The student council is responsible for closing that generation gap between faculty, administration, and the school board. This isn't an easy task. The 1986-87 student council was manned by President Dan Lusk. Vice-President Jackie Neuharth. Se- cetary Treasurer Darrel Hinkle. Re- presenting the freshman were Deb- bie Dittman and Jeff Peterson; soph- omores. Marla Lusk and Gene Luze: juniors. Jodi McDonnell and Lori Newton: seniors Tom Durfee and Darin Larson. The student council is responsible for the planning and carrying out of Homecoming. Some of the activities included a slave sale of freshman, a dance Friday night, and different ac- tivities for each day. Other responsibilities included su- pervising the nomination and elec- tion of the class offficers and the cheerleaders and taking any propos- als made by the student body to the school board for consideration. Be- cause of hot weather the student council proposed a new dress code, so shorts would be allowed. The board said no to shorts but yes to mini skirts. The members of the student council were chosen by their classmates, with the officers chosen by the entire student body. They are elected in the spring and announced at Awards Night. Freshman representatives are elected in the fall. ABOVE RIGHI The three brave leaders who lower over the student body are Secretary Treasurer Darrel Hinkle.

SENIORS MAKING HISTORY WOW! MAN! We made it to high school. It seems like yesterday when the nineteen of us walked through the doors of HHS. The new students were Jeff Selchert and Tracy Surdez. We had lost Tim Hansen, and Becky and Jenny Nemec. Class officers for our Freshman year were; Jackie Neu- harth and Chad Eldeen. student council representatives; Tracey Sur- dez. president; Jill Pekarek. vice- president; Jeff Selchert. secretary; and Dan Lusk, treasurer. For the first time Jeff Selchert tried to be an an- gel as he gave his marshal speech. When new rules were made they al- ways seemed to start with our class, and it was no different when the Board of Regents required that stu- dents have two years of foreign lan- guage before entering a stale sup- ported school. Some of us held out. in hopes that this rule would be re- pealed. and it later was. Mr. Peter- son tried to give vocabulary quizes but didn't seem to notice everyone always had their book wide open on the floor. The football team made the playoffs, but were defeated by Sully Buttes 8-7. Our sophomore year. Becky and Jen- ny Nemec returned after attending a private school in Rapid City.
