Stuco They're working for the people This year Stuco worked exception- ally hard at shooting toward a new goal. This goal was to reach out to the students and to help them get more involved.. They worked at getting the 'llnvisible kids , or those that dont readily participate, to take,part in, and share in the many Stuco sponsored activities at N.H.S. This formed a more united feeling which all schools need. The many activities and fund raisers which Stuco sponsored include the Blood mobile, working concess- ions, student exchanges, back-to- school activities, and the Stuco sponsored dances. This year the dances were, once again a big hit with students of NHS. Such dances includ- ed a Back-to-school dance, Toga, Super Star's Shirt dance. area dance, and a Semi-formal Christmas dance. Stuco also helped sponsor very successful Homecoming and Winter Sports weeks which took alot of plan- ing and organization. Planning and responsibility were another big part of Stuco. People realize how much work and planning go into it , Barb Hanke, senior, said. 'That's another reason we want more people to get involved. Stuco had the responsibility of rep- resenting the students. For instance during the class schedule change, Stuco was consulted about how the student body felt about the changes. lt's a lot of hard work, but well worth it , Hanke said. Usherettes is a club of about 24 girls all dedicated to helping. These girls were chosen because of their desire to serve the school and com- munity. The Usherettes serve the school by ushering for the varsity sports, plays, freshman orientation, and the College Bowl. The girls also serve the community in many ways. One of the ways they helped was to usher when outside organizations came to visit. They worked as a public relations for students and the community. We have an outstanding group of girls this year and they have done a fine job of serving the school and com- munity , Jan Hoberecht said. STUCO: S. Zielke, J. Orr, R. Roberson, C. Slack, J.
