This year the Student Council changed their name to the Student Congress. The officers Bill Cochran, Cathy Spivey, Carolyn Byrd, Roger Lane, Liz Spivey and Sam Elliott began their iob in a summer workshop. They changed the constitution to form a Student Congress. This included a Student Senate being represented by the president ot each organization. The House of Represen- tatives included a certain percentage ot students from each class. These two groups ot people combined, formed the Congress. Many activities were carried on by the Student Con- gress. They began the year by having a Spirit Week be- fore the big game with the MacArthur Generals. Another activity was the sale of parking stickers for the students to park in the school parking lot. The Congress also par- ticipated in a March of Dimes fund raising program sponsored by the city of Houston. Another activity was the collection taken up tor the V. A. Cemetery Carillon bells. These activities kept the congress occupied for the '69-'70 year. The congress wasn't all work and no play though, for they sponsored three dances. First, the Howdy Dance. This dance was a salute and 'iget together tor all new students. Next, was the Christmas Dance which was a formal dance with a live band. The last dance was the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance. This dance was full ot many activities. The NHS sold and auctioned ott lunches, the students danced in the cafeteria, and booths were set up for the students.
