Andy Miller, basketball responsibilities with Greg Jones, Student Council Homecoming committee chairman, discusses his president, at the fall retreat at Aldersgate Camp. 1 , tudent Council members rarely had to look for things to do. The work just seemed to jump out and grab them. There is always so much work to be done that we don't always have time to get organized, said Sheila James, junior. Then when we're in Student Council meeting, the whole time is spent debating instead of getting organized. Student Council members worked together to come up with worthwhile activities to sponsor. Along with the fun came many responsibilities. You have many responsibilities, and it's really fun because through these responsibilities you have a chance to create your own government, ' ' said Sean Ward, sophomore. Greg J ones, Student Council president, said that one of the biggest problems for the year was a lack of motivation and participation on the part of members. People just didn't get involved in the activities, he said. I believe we are gradually meeting and overcoming the challenge to work together for the betterment of our school. In honor of the American hostages in Iran, Parkview's Student Council organized a candlelight service at the State Capitol. The theme of the service, which involved SC members from all three city high schools, was To Show We Care. The purpose of the service was to show the hostages that they weren't forgotten in their time of need. School cleanliness was the main goal of Student Council, which tried to enlist the cooperation of students, custodians and administrators in an effort to clean Parkview up. SC also established a friendship committee to make new students feel at home at Parkview. In the spring, Student Council sponsored the annual blood drive, which saw hundreds of Patriots donate a pint of blood to the Red Cross. 1980 also saw the usual dances, spirit ribbons, Homecoming and Twerp weeks, but there were new faces and new projects to lend a new perspective to old ideas.
