Organizations were on the move at Burns this year. Students are more involved with the school than I have ever seen them commented one teacher. From the pawprints in the parking lot to a new paint job in the teacher’s lounge we put in a lot of work. For the third year in a row the FCA 68 Clubs sat Pee ag hale . we and gold by sellint st dcat paws before the game against North Gaston. Members of the HOSA club sponsored a smoke-out in November. “Kiss me I don’t smoke’”’ was the slo- gan used for the campaign in which a display was set up to show the dan- gers of smoking and students were asked to stop smoking for a day. FFA members have their work cut out for them. Along with their annual fruit sale, members took on the job of clearing the woods adjacent to the bus parking lot for a fruit orchard. Completion date on this project is 1989. aa

Paws Painted The 1980-81 edition of the Burns High student council decided the cam- pus needed something extra. So, to let everyone know for sure that they are in “Bulldog Country’’, the student council painted giant pawprints. Where? Lead- ing into and out of the parking lots, and heading straight to the “dog house’, (that is, the field house). Lots of careful preparation was needed to get each pawprint in perfect shape. Art club members helped in drawing layouts. Then came the fun, painting. Student council members were very enthusias- tic, so there were no problems in get- ting help. Student council president, Keith Haynes, commented, ‘‘The stu- dents really helped alot. I think everyone will appreciate the pawprints, they add a ‘special touch’ to the school, Mrs. Pruett, student council advisor, was pleased with the attitudes and support shown by members and said it was a job well done. Senior Valerie Baker and sophomore Patricia Brewer agreed that ‘“‘the pawprints add to the life of the school.” Other activities sponsored by the student council included a representa- tive workshop. It was held at New Be- thel Church. During the workshop stu- dents attended different sessions, led by the officers, played games and par- ticipated in various activities and learned more about each other. The purpose of the workshop was to enable the students to learn the respon- sibilities of a student council represen- tative. ‘It was a lot of fun. I thought it was very worthwhile,” replied sopho- more Theresa Short. To get more school spirit at the home ballgames, the student council formed a ‘‘cheering section” behind the band. This proved to be very successful. Also the distribution of blue victory flags waving high, they knew they had the support of fellow students. 70 Student Council 4 oS Nas, Ne
