The Student Council, contrary to popular opinion, accomplished more than sponsoring an occa- sional dance during the 1979-80 school year. Under the direction of President Chris McMorrow and fellow officers Maggie Cleary, Caroline Nieuwenhuis, and Ga- briele Stein, the Council attempt- ed to bring together the interests of the majority of Weston High School students. In following an amendment to the constitution made by the 1978-79 Student Council, they reduced the number of elected class representatives from five to three and invited a representative from each school club and organization to become a regular voting member. In early December, they held an after- school workshop for these new members. Flooded with fresh con- cerns and ideas from the student body, officers began to communi- cate more freely to the adminis- tration, often conferring with Mr. Haas on current issues and deci- sions. In an effort to bring people together and encourage activities, the Council arranged a school- wide Christmas party and other fund raising activities thr- oughout the year.

Despite problems in the past the club attracted a group of boisterous girls. This year at bas- ketball games, they either cheered or sold buttons and pom- poms, distinguishing themselves shirts. The Peppers also made the rest of the school aware of many athletic teams by plastering colorful posters to the bulletin boards announcing team games. Despite sore throats and writer's cramp, the girls maintained an en- thusiastic air among Weston stu- dents. l'm a Pepper t- ' At one of the many meetings, members of the pep club rally to promote school spirit.

This year the so- ciety became more active. It set up a phone-answering service in the faculty workroom, to answer calls and take messages while teachers worked uninterrupted. It became involved in the Cambo- dian Awareness Drive with the New Students Club. Its members, elected by the faculty, who take into account character, leader- ship, service and citizenship, made the club's presence felt at last in the school and community. .im WW 'C 4 A i,.. . . .
