Success The Student Council had another successful year. The council raised over $2,000 for home- coming, which was its main project for the first semester. The council sold candy, held two dances, and sold concessions to cover the costs. Other projects included a campaign to rein- state the five minute passing period, which was successful, and a canned food drive. The food drive collected about 2400 cans, which were distributed to the needy. The highlight of the year was the state con- vention, where the council received an award for having the best scrapbook. which is used to judge the council ' s performance during the year. Student council members also held an inter- council exchange with Bellevue East and Papil- lion. worked on the Red Cross blood drive, and held a school talent show. It was a busy year.

The forensics team competed in the fol- lowing categories: informative speaking, extem- peraneous speaking, oral interpretation of prose, duet acting, impromptu speaking, origi- nal oratory and poetry reading.

The team prepared both sides of a topic or resolution. Lincoln-Douglas style debate was an individual event. One per- son prepared a speech for and against a topic.
