Sara smile. Senior Sara Kremer says hello to a resident of the Fountainbleau Nursing Home. The Senior National Honor Society visited the home as ,I one of their service projects. ti t's a dirty job, but someone has to do it, said co-editor janet Allen about being in charge of the yearbook. Nathan Maune, co-editor, added, Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Whether they were president of a club, captain of a spirit group or editor of a publication, head honchos found that the pressure of their jobs was tremendous, and without the support of other officers and members nothing would have been accomplished. For instance, lunior Beta Club, one of the largest groups with 101 members, hosted Christmas parties for Children's Hospital, spon- sored a basketball shootout to raise money for the Arthritis Foundadtion and held a Hawaiian dance. President Kim Connor said, We got a lot of participation from the seventh and eighth graders for our dances, but we were disappointed in the participation in the shootout. We raised the most money in the state, but that was only about 550. The 90 members of Senior Beta Club brought the Red Cross Blood Mobile to Pulaski Academy in the spring and collected 43 pints of blood. Our goal for giving blood was 50 pints, said junior Ianell Thach, who was in charge of the blood drive. We came the closest to our goal that we have ever come, and we appreciate every- one's help. For the officers of the lunior National Honor Society, the main task for the year was getting organized since the group was beginning its first full year of existence. l think it's neat that we have a lunior National Honor Society, because people that work hard should be recognized, said jill Thomas, president. Tutoring in all subjects and visiting local retirement homes were two activities of the Senior National Honor Society. President Amy Bishop said, Actually, I was the only person that got nominated. No one else would run for the job. It's pretty fun but a lot more work than I thought.

t was in Student Council that students found out what it really took to be a president. Senior Student Council directed Footbal. Homecoming and Basket- ball Sweetheart activities. One of the biggest money making projects for Senior Student Council was a car wash in the fall, according to Greg Bell, president. The Saturday event netted about 5600, which was used to pay debts and to finance Homecoming activities. Probably the hardest thing about my job has been the overwhelming number of things that have to be done all at once, said Greg. For example, at Homecoming I had to make sure the band would arrive, see that the upper and lower gyms were decorated and secure chaperones and refreshments for the dance. One of the goals of Student Council was greater participation in state wide Student Council meetings and workshops. Four member attended a summer workshop at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, and six members went to the spring workshop in Fort Smith at Southside High School. jenny Sherman, Student Council vice-president, said, At the summer workshop we learned a lot of wild fund raising ideas like topless car washes. Kris Gillian was the main man for junior Student Council, whose primary function was adding at least five pounds to each student's body through the operation of the candy cart during break. The most successful operation for junior Student Council was the candy cart because it produced all the revenue for us to provide gifts to the school, said Kris. With the proceeds from the candy cart, the junior Student Council gave the school a lecturn and a half tuition scholarship for a junior high student. Members Only 229swdem ure Famous faces.
