Sunglassed against the glare off the asphalt. Mr. Tirmenstein strums an opening chord, inviting us to sing out. A special chapel presented by the Salt Company featured searching lyrics embraced by stinging, pulsating accompaniment. Extensive thought and practice by the Speech II Class produced several amazingly effective chapel presentations. Relating a stirring spiritual dialogue. Rachel and Laurie Hohenstein speak into the mike of the PA- system. Stunning their morning audience, Paul Leslie, Vicki Vogelsang and Jan Garner enact a skit titled This is Your Death. Ecstatic delight and more somber appreciation in- spire spontaneous beaming and clapping. Sucking up the days enlightened message, some are intrigued while others become bored and shut it out of their minds. 4 Making chapel more than a recurring migraine, a slump in the morning smog, or a quiet time for intimate chit-chat— this challenge faced someone every single day of our school year. Whether they spoke over the intercom or out in the quad, our chapel speakers committed themselves and made the most of this opportunity. Carefully planned speeches bolstered our faiths, personal testimonials gave evidence of the strength of God ' s love, and lively skits caused us to stop and think about the way we had been living our lives. Their exhilarating messages aroused us. Their spiritual enthusi- asm inspired and excited us. We responded in songs, offer- ings, and, occasionally, a heartfelt round of applause — happily participating in the worship of our Lord. We had been touched by the wonder of the Spirit ' s presence. ,

For Kevin Smith the title ' President ' has its drawbacks, I ' d like to be able to do my job without worrying about titles — but that seems to be the only way to get anything done. The main goal I want to reach is to leave something behind for the future councils — to lay some groundwork for them and set some guidelines. Another thing I ' d like to see is more respect for people with positions and just people in general. Kevin worked closely with Dean Craven ( he can be stubborn, but he ' s fair ) and he even met with the formidable Board once or twice. Most of the time the council was allowed to try out their ideas with Mr. Craven ' s approval. Says Kevin, I can sympathize with the kids who don ' t do anything — they ' re getting tired of the same old stuff. I ' d like to do something different, but it ' s not the council ' s fault. The council is a part of the student body — it ' s every- one ' s council — not just the people who go sit at the meetings. If anyone has a problem or gripe they should come to me and I ' ll do anything I can to help. This is a good council, but a lot of things would have been better if we had more response. ' Student Councillors listen intently as Kevii leads a meeting notice the interested ex pressions?
