S.C. initiates involvement ' : The Student Council relies on student input for its output. -Chuck Hutti rVemaining a strong force in the ac- tivities of the school, the Student Council, under the direction of president, Don Fowler and co-moderators, Mr. Pat Com- pton and Mr. Ron White, started the year with Field Day. This year ' s was a little dif- ferent since the Council was unable to in- vite A.M. to participate in the activities because of lack of space on the school ' s campus. In an effort to help the freshmen get to know one another before their class officer elections, the Council sponsored a Bunco Party for them in the fall. 4 Taking command.

telling it like it was . ORGANIZATIONS What I like most about B.D. is the good atmosphere that the school seems to exhibit and tries to extend to everyone. When we have visitors from other schools in our Student Exchange Program, they seem to be at ease with everyone they meet. -Steve Lit- tlefield Teeth set, senior photographer.

.1 % Helping out the Dare to Care program during the holidays, the Council had a Senior-Faculty basketball game on Friday, December 16, 1977. Admission to the game was one canned good and the result was enough canned goods and non- perishable items to fill two cars. Another interesting activity was a field trip for the entire school to see the movie, Star Wars, which the council co- sponsored with the English Department. On November 22nd November 23rd, 1977, the school was split into two groups. The frosh and sophs went one day and the juniors and seniors the next. During the spring, the Council par- ticipated in a Student Exchange Program Taking over for assistant pnncipal. Gerald Wilkinson, Student Council member.

Then the week of May 1 through May 5th, 1978 was set aside as Student Government Week. All week teachers were encouraged to allow students to take over their classes for a period to teach. Tuesday was designated as S.C. takover day as members of the S.C. relieved certain members of the ad- ministration of their duties for the day. Also, Wednesday was made half-price day in the cafeteria. Often the Council was bogged down in red tape with efforts to present student- expressed opinions to the administration. In order to help this situation, the Prin- cipal ' s Advisory Board agreed to have a SC representative sit in on various meetings at their discretion. Also, Danny Fowler was appointed to the Academic Board so that committee could receive student input. in an effort to streamline the S.C. ' s organizational setup, Mr. Ron White with a committee of senators and H.R. represen- tatives, rewrote the S.C. constitution. Another new addition to the Council ' s activities was its sponsorship of a number of town meetings. At these, students were given the opportunity to meet and discuss with school officials, various school-related subjects. The last town meeting was a Drug Education Program put on by some resi- dents of the LaGrange Reformatory on May 4th and 5th, 1978. @ Student Council 7o
