How about adding to that the responsibility of having to lead the fresh- man class through all the activities of the year and trying to show 1800 other stu- dents that the freshman class is good and integral part of the school. For these first time officers high school life was no problem once they began their responsi- bilities. The first task they encountered as officers was Homecoming decorating. The officers were pleased at the amount of help all the classmates contributed. Everyone was excited and all had great ideas and were very cooperative, replied Trent Allen. Student Council president Paul Evans added, the Council officers were very surprised at the outcome and support the freshman had during Home- coming. They gave some of the other i i classes a good scare when it came time for the decorating awards. I don't believe we have ever had a freshman group do as well as they did. l was impressed! Being new to the Student Council family , at first the officers were quiet, confused. and intimidated at the Friday morning meetings. When we were told about all the activities we were to take part in our faces went blank-we were completely in another world! remarked Jennifer Har- ris. l was scared to ask questions be- cause the upperclass officers would laugh at us, complained Niki Garcia. lt seemed the timidness of the officers made them stronger Smith, the freshman class sponsor, commented, After the first two meetings l noticed the officers were becoming stronger in making deci- sions for the other activities. They also began speaking up and giving the fresh- man class recognition in the meetings. Burkett, Richard Burks, Michelle Burleson, Jeremy Burns, Darrell Caldwella.

The telephone also became a parents main target when grounded. Being grounded did not stop many freshman from using the phone. Many creative ways were found in which to get in touch with friends. I go use the phone at a friend's house when I can, said Dayleen Nelson. Others would sneak around and use the phone when their parents left home. I use the phone from the time they leave till they come home. remarked Chris Pries. When caught the consequences were not too severe. Chris Sampson remarked, UI just get grounded for a longer time when I am caught. Some of the main uses of the phone was to catch on the latest gossip, talking to that special someone. When I get home I call friends or they call me and we catch up on lwhat we couldn't talk about in schooll re- marked Tammi Sudduth. Phonellimi- tations were another problem. Most had to be off by l0:00p.m. Davette Esparza commented, 'The latest I'm allowed to use the phone is 9:45 on school days, and that really was a problem because I always got tp the good parts around that time. Then there were those special ones who had their own lines. Since I have my own line I talk forever, I usually get off between l:00 and 4:00 in the morn- ing, commented Amy Brackeen. For many of the freshman the tele- phone was a must! They could not function without using one. What ever the reason for using or not usirtg the phone the temptation was too great. As Glinda Galvan exclaimed, Ill I did not have access to a telephone I think I would have to be admitted to a nut
