gags., . Student Council Joining Spirit Together This was one of the hardest working group of council representatives l have ever seen at PLJH, commented advi- sor Mrs. Judy Yancey. The 1986-87 members had worked hard all year to accomplish goals under the leadership of president Angela Seaton, vice-president Jamaine Mitchell, secretary Robin Cooley, and treasurer Chad Jansen. Meetings were held weekly by the different committees. Parties and a spirit drive for the basketball games were planned. Student Council also sponsored the paper drive and the Carnival held each spring. This year one seventh grader rewrote C. Clement Moore's A Night Before Christmas to remind us of this year's Christmas Dance by the Student Council. Twas the day of the dance, and all through school, No one was misbehaving, not breaking a rule. The decorations were hung in the gym with care, For the hundreds of children that soon would be there. The students were all waiting for the end of the day, 'Cause visions of the dance would not go away. And teachers were trying to calm the kids down, So they were all busy running around. When out in the hall there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter. When what to my wandering eyes should appear, But the principal himself, we all shuttered in fear. He hollared and shouted and called us by nameg David, and Nancy, and Jenni and Jane! Stephi and Teni and Danny and Zane! To my office, around the corner and down the hall. Hurry up now everyone or l'll suspend you all! When he walked in behind us, l heard him reply, None of you are in trouble. We let out a sigh. I need you to help out tonight, you see, l'd like you to chaperone the dance for me. We looked all around, amaze- ment in our eyes. What a dance this will be, and what a surprise! The dance was wild, we all had a blast. The students were all excited to be free at last. As we were leaving the dance, almost out of sight- This dance was great, What an awesome night! by Tina Allison. Right. Seventh graders enjoy their first school mixer of the year with music, popcorn and coke.
