The Student Senate is a council of eight students who work together to mal e Berkeley High a» stu- dents would like it to be. In collaboration with class officers, the Junior State, and the Student Council, the Senate works to make useful and needed changes. This fall, the group concentrated on two major projects. The public xerox machine in the library was saved from the threat of removal and the Senate ' s $1200 was given to Ciose-Up. In the spring, the Senate established the Student Council, a collection of people elected from second period classes. The Council acts as a voice for the entire student body. The Senate also worked on more than a dozen different issues, many focusing on the necessary adjustment to the changes brought about by Proposition 13.

This year the Berkeley High School Model United Nations Club joined many other high schools out the state in the 27th annual Model United Na- tions Conference held at the University of Califor- nia, Berkeley. This year, while under the guidance of President Robert Rothblatt, Berkeley High had the distinct honor of representing the United States and Sudan, a large North African nation. Out of the hundreds of resolutions that were submitted, the Screening Committee selected two of Berkeley High ' s to be discussed and voted on in the various committees. One, which was proposed in the Legal Committee by BHS, passed the General Assembly with an overwhelming majority. Two Berkeley High delegates received awards this year; Sigurd Wilbanks for best delegate in his committee, and David Maung an honorable mention for his active participation in the Science Committee. We also wish to give special thanks to Ms. Hannah Myers, our sponsor! H€DIEIL IL,.N,. 7AIPI=
