Working For Unity SBO’s Say We Want “U” Our main goal is to cater to each indi- vidual group by trying to recognize their interests, said Kellie Kimball. We hope that it will unify everyone at Alta. Unify- ing the studentbody was not an easy task to accomplish, but by encouraging more student participation and feedback, the SBO’s were able to gain a better view of what the studentbody wanted. Over the summer they met once a week preparing for the upcoming year, includ- ing a three day event at a mountain cabin where they could do some serious plan- ning and plenty of goofing around. By- ron never wore socks with his shoes and you could smell them across the room! said Lynette Kerbs. Laughed Jill Feather- stone, You should have seen Fred. Jeff, and Byron throwing flames; they almost burned the cabin down! Though the calendar of events was fin- ished when school began, last minute de- tails caused numerous sleepless nights, exhausting days, and endless sacrifices. Sometimes you have to rearrange your schedule to accomplish what you want to do. and what is required of you as an officer, commented Lynette. But. the close associate with the other officers in a leadership position, made the hard work and frustration worth it. There is a lot of pressure, and deadlines that have to be met. remarked Byron Warr. As a result of their comradery and de- termination. a positive attitude about Alta was created. We’d like other schools to know that the students here take pride in Alta, said Byron. Participating in the night pep rally, Don Ward, and student body officers prepare for the class com- petition activity. “Probably the greatest quality an offi- cer can have is desire. The desire to help out the school in any way. And if they truly do try. somehow they'll be successful Fred Lowry President “When students leave Alta High I would like them to not only feel good about their academic education, but also be satisfied with their social edu- cation. Kellie Kimball Vice President “When things are busy, such as Homecoming, you miss class a lot. but it's worth it because you meet so many people and do so many fun things together. Lynette Kerbs Historian “I feel one quality an officer has to have is the ability to be a hard working individual You have to be willing to work after hours to make things work out right or nothing can be accom- plished. — Jeff Weber Financial Chairman “Being an officer is a lot more work than I expected. It's a good opportunity to meet and know people better I love to work with the other student body and class officers because they are such neat people! It's a great experience. Jill Featherstone Secretary “Being a student body officer has given me less time to study, helped my social life because I've met people I wouldn't have met otherwise. Most of all I've sacrificed sleep, but it's worth it because of all the rewards that the position offers Byron Warr Attorney General 14 ■ Student Body Officers
