ln addition to winning the float competition in their junior and senior years, the class of '79 sponsored the homecoming parade and dumped fli- ers on the stunned McClintock stu- dent body. The officers felt it was important to revive the old tradition ofa hike down Lakeshore Drive and subsequent bonfire. Board ol Supervisors mem- ber Doug Baldwin said the main rea- son for the parade was to get the enthusiasm of the school going for homecoming and keep it going through the weekend. Activities such as parades can be costly and the officers devised meth- ods of fund raising that were unique. Singing Valentines, original poems sung to modern tunes, was a project since their freshman year. However, the seniors also showed initiative by providing the opportunity for stu- dents to purchase senior T-shirts. We wanted something special for our class and it was a good fund raiser, too, Doug said. Even after graduation, the seniors won't stop planning events. Class of '79 members should start preparing for their next activity: a 20-year class reunion in Cot coursej 1999. 1. Seniors enjoy the time they have to eat and relax. 2.

We had problems with officers not attending the meetings, said junior class president Phyllis Rios. But other than that, everyone works really well together and we accom- plished the things that need to be done. In addition to the usual task of sponsoring the prom, officers hoped to set a tradition by providing T-shirts for the class. Phyllis said, We were not trying to make a profit on that. We were just trying to promote class spirit. Officers also sold carmel apples at the football games, peddled Christ- mas wrapping paper, sponsored car- washes and the first dance of the year. Phyllis estimated the juniors made approximately Sl ,900 on these ventures. Prom is one of the main responsi- bilities of the juniors, and officers obtained student input by circulating a survey asking student opinions about the prom. The main issue was the choice between a disc jockey or a band to provide the entertainment. Phyllis said a band was chosen because a lot of people think a disc jockey is for any regular dance after a football game, and at a special dance they think it's more formal to have a band. I feel this year has been great. We have accomplished many of our goals and are looking forward to a productive senior year. 1. Todd McBride and Phil DeKemper appeared bored with their class. 2.
