Student senate members Andy Sears, Stephanie Roberts, and Debbie DeWinter work during the basketball game to help raise money. Communication la Communication with the stu- dent body, or lack of it, was one of Student Senate ' s major problems during the year. The organization was new, perhaps too new, to fully serve the students. More than once the student body showed its dis- approval of being unaware of what was actually going on in Student Senate and what, if at all, they had accomplished. A continuing conflict between the two seemed to rage the en- tire year. Officers of the club included: Dana Jones, president; Tim Ries, vice president; Cindy Cassel, secretary; and Andy Sears, treasurer. This year ' s sponsor was Mr. Jim Gibb. Communication was not Stu- dent Senate ' s only problem. Plagued by some members who didn ' t always contribute to money-making functions, the organization was often han- dicapped by lack of funds. They sponsored many of the dances: Homecoming, Courtwarming, Prom, and the 50 ' s dance; but actually lost more money than gained through these activities. Two concession stands, set up to make money, were a failure. Student Senate also sponsored a girl in Mexico for the Christian Children ' s Fund. Student Senate was a big change-over from the traditional Student Council. The major difference between the two was the elimination of a represen- tative from each home room — replaced by a smaller membership of elected officials. The smaller numbers were sup- posed to do a better job of com- munication with the students — but that job was never accomplished. President Dana Jones speaks to members Kent Rocher. Donna Parker, and Gina Gann while Cindy Cassel keeps the minutes. 14 — Student Senate
