Student Council STUDENT COUNCIL, CLOCKWISE: First Vice President Mike Karels, Secretary Pat Dalsin, Parlimentarian Jeff Mattson, President Joe Larkin, Treasurer John Pyzdrowski, Commisioner of Freshman Activities Tom HromatKa, Commisioner of Academic Affairs Mark Premo, Commisioner of Publications Pete Regan, Committee Coordinator Simon Root, Senior Class President Ron Frochling, Second Vice President Randy Jenco, Commisioner of Student Activities Ed Hartlc. This year's Student Council started out strong with dances, rennovating the Senior Lounge, and bringing back the candy machines. It also tried some original ideas for student activities, including a concert featuring Joyce Iverson and the established regional rock band Gypsy, and a policy of having a bus for the students to every out-of-town athletic event, regardless of whether it was full or not. Homecoming was held away from Benilde and Red Knight's was brought back to Benilde. The Benilde and St. Margarets' Student Councils spent long hours discussing policy, eliminating offices and trying to reach a decision as to what would be done for a Student Council next year. It was a busy year, though some of the projects' success were blunted by noninvolvement on the part of some of the students. In terms of financial success they did very well even though they incurred losses at a number of events. There was still enough money left at the end of the year to give out scholarships. Taking all factors into account it was a proud end to the Benilde Student Council as a very strong and working organization, and they hope that next year the merged Student Council can uphold the tradition of a vigorous student government organization. 22

THE DEBATE TEAM, BACK ROW, LEFT IO RIGHT: Ms. Moore, C. Klingbeil, R. Madson, M. Daly, G. Mevisson, M. McBride; FRONT ROW: D. Smieja, T. Hromatka, K. Reger. Debate The Debate team started from scratch this year and built itself into a respectable, challenging team. Most of the members were new to debate, thus experiencing the more frustrating moments in the beginning of the season before the more successful ones later on. The success of the team was in their individual wins. They were up against tough competition all year long but still held their own. Ms. Moore, their coach, said of the years performance, I was really proud of the de-bators, especially at the end of the season when they were giving more established teams a real challenge. The team has a firm foundation to build upon for next year and is looking forward with bright expectations. 24
