Class Senators Called On To Help Occasionally Four senators and one head senator were elected from each of the four classes to serve as a link between the students and student government. The four head senators were very in- volved in class and studentbody activities. They were members of the first period student govern- ment class. Class senators were called on occasionally to help with dance decorating, planning class activities, making posters, and assembly productions. Homecoming week was the bu- siest time of the year for the sen- ators, planning Homecoming ac- tivities, building floats, booths, and coordinating all the festivities sponsored by each of the classes during the week. Mr. Don Ward was the advisor of Student Senate and the Stu- dent Government class. He spent many long days and evenings at the school working with student leaders making sure activities were well planned and present- ed. 134 Head Senators Don Ward, advisor, finds a welcome moment of relaxation Terry Gale Junior Head Senator Curtis Smith Freshman Head Senator Troy Bucy Senior Head Senator Wendy Earl Sophomore Head Senator

The program was spon- sored by Deseret News and KSL-TV, with the intent to honor outstanding students in various fields. These twelve seniors represented Alta in statewide competition for scholar- ships, awards, and recognition. In addition to excellence in their par- ticular areas, the twelve nominees were judged on their characters, attitudes, and services within the school and community. Each of them was required to prepare a portfolio for state competition, dis- playing awards, leadership posi- tions. and extra curricular participa- tion. The entire event culminated with the selection of the statewide winners.
