kyle communlcafes My years at L.A.B. have been a ful- filling experience. I have played base- ball, basketball, and football, and par- ticipated in student government. The climax of it all was being elected Stu- dent Body President. School Spirit, campus unity, and improved student- faculty-administrative communica- tions were goals the student council and I set to achieve this year. Throughout the year noticable improvements have been made in these areas. A successful accredita- tion has boosted our moral and our school spirit, creating a relaxed atmosphere on campus. With the help of Mr. Lewis as my advisor, and stu- dent assembly, the council has been able to put together a successful and enjoyable year. The office of Presi- dent has enabled me to do things for a school that has helped me in spiritual growth; as well as given me many great memories. 1. Ye or Pres 2.

Class representatives are chosen each semester by class voting. Newly elected representatives meet with their advisor and the Student Council. At the beginning of this year, Mr. Don Lewis was advisor, but later. Principal Gary Smidderks assumed the posi- tion. Prior to Student Assembly meet- ings, representatives gather various suggestions and problems from among their classmates; these consti- tute the agenda for the meetings, which are led by Student Council Vice President, Amy Joyce. The sugges- tions are heard and problems are dis- cussed. Student Council then follows up by further discussing possibilities at their next meeting. Student Assembly exists for the voice of the masses at L.A.B. to be heard. 36 STUDENT ASSEMBLY
