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

HONORS Honor Socletv Mrs. Godwin — Sponsor Intelligence in Action To be inducted into the National Honor Society is a great priviledge and honor. Members are tapped at the end of their junior year in a ceremony in front of the entire student body. These special students must have passed with at least a 3.5 grade point average, which is roughly equivalent to a B-plus. These students also must display outstanding conduct in addition to their academic excellence. Being a member of the Honor Society is also helpful in obtaining admission to col- lege, for it appears on your permanent record card. The recognition received by this group of scholars is very richly deserved. Take a few of the super-intelligent students at Pinson Valley, put them together with Mrs. Galloway, send them to several competitions with other smart people from other schools and what do you get? The Knowledge Bowl, of course. The students travel to tournaments, pitted up against teams from other schools and are asked questions which some might think are impossible to answer. Of course our team of participants represents Pinson Valley High School well in all competitions they attend. Honor Society: R. Driver, C. Scar- borough, D. Cox, R Clurg, T. Johns, Hoagland, J.
