Stuco Issues Student Directory Working to better the internal orga- nization of Student Council itself was one of the aims of Stuco members as they served on one of the better Coun- cils over the years, in the words of Mr. James Matson, Stuco sponsor. They were realistic about what they could accomplish, continued Mr. Mat- son, and when they decided they were going to do something, they got it done and done right. There was more inward activity than outward. Inward activity or no, however, Stuco also found time for numerous efforts toward representing the general student body. They held a United Way Fund Drive, collected a memorial fund for the late Heights teacher, Mr. Richard Myers, and were involved in the Walk for Mankind. The arrangements for Homecoming festivities, the All-School Carnival, three After-the-Game dances, and the printing and distribu- tion of a Student Directory were also handled by Stuco members. Student Council officers were: David Haddock, President, Crystal Johnson, Vice-President, Beth Greenshields, Secretary, and Ken Norman, Treasur- er. .,, . 1 Y - t 59 f Student Council

Honor Society Awards Travel Scholarships To Mexico, Spain Habla Usted Espanol? means, Do you speak Spanish? Over thirty stu- dents who did were in Spanish Club whose goal it was to promote and en- courage the understanding and use of Spanish in school and society. The group sold candy and popcorn and par- ticipated in a soccer game against the German and French Clubs. Closely allied to Spanish Club was the Spanish Honor Society, whose members had to have a least a 3.5 grade average in Spanish for at least three semesters. They learned about Spanish culture by taking dance lessons and by hosting a party for Mexican exchange students. Money raised by the organiza- tion was used to send students to Mexi- co or Spain to learn first-hand about Spanish culture and peoples. Society members Toni Hembree and Arlyn Purcell, both, '79, took top honors at the city-wide Spanish contest held at W.S.U. and also did well at the Nation- al exam given in March. 'W' 4'-ZLL?
