Working for the Benefit of All Do you ever wonder what exactly it is that the Student Council Association here at Pinson Valley does? I mean really does? Sure, you voted for the candidates you felt would best serve the school last spring but what happened after the election? Well, they certainly do not just sit in Mrs. Abbotts ' room 4th period doing their homework. No, as a matter of fact it ' s the exact op- posite. The S.C.A., led by President Raymond Walker, take time and spend much effort to plan services and activities for our school. In addi- tion to the usual voting for teacher of the month and the selling of booster badges to raise money and promote school spirit, they held the Homecoming Bonfire and on Valen- tine ' s Day, Teacher Appreciation Day. Not only did this year ' s Student Council plan things for us here at school, they show their caring and sympathy by raising money for several charities, these including Unicef, the Jefferson County Needy Program, Lung Association and Muscular Dystrophy. The funds from the now traditional Penny Drop, which raise money in addition to promoting com- petition between the classes, went to help restore the Statue of Liberty. This year ' s S.C.A. has outdone itself in respect to service, whether in a school project or helping others on a larger scale. They, in conjunction with Mrs. Connie Abbott, have represented Pin- son Valley High School well in every facet of community service. The members of the 1984-85 Stu- dent Council are: Pres. — Raymond Walker, Vice Pres. — Wendie Reid, Secretary — Karen Meeks, Treasurer — Judy Cornelius, Chaplain — Libby Etheridge. Senior Representatives — Regina Ayers, Paulette Dickerson, Junior Representatives — Hoyt Sanders, Ed Stasiak, Faith Self, Lisa Newman, Staci Yarborough. Sophomore Representatives — Wendi Robertson, Mary Stinson, Andrea Galloway, Karen Pierson, Beth Herold. Freshman Representatives — Huck McElveen, Rachel Cooper, Jill Booker. The very capable and involved sponsor of this year ' s student council is Mrs. Connie Abbott. 186 ORGANIZATIONS

FBLA Expanding Their Business Skills Officers Officers F.B.L.A. is an organization for students enrolled in high school business courses. Members of F.B.L.A. learn how to engage in business, hold office, direct the affairs of a group and compete with peers on local, state and national levels. F.B.L.A. provides students an opportunity for travel to state and national leadership con- ferences, visit various business enter- prises and come in contact with suc- cessful business men and women. The main goal of F.B.L.A. is to develop strong, aggressive and self- confident business oriented students who will someday be leaders in the business world. Pinson Valley ' s Chapter of F.B.L.A. has done an outstanding job accomplishing this goal. They have, in fact, gone beyond this goal with such projects as the Homecoming Mum sale and the fruit baskets which were taken to Beverly and Ketona Nursing Homes. The F.B.L.A., sponsored by Mrs. Gar- rett and Mrs. Heard, is rapidly growing and becoming an integral part here at Pinson Valley High School. f s - ■■ - ORGANIZATIONS 185
