I think most successful leaders realize there is great responsibility that goes with a position of leadership. Most good leaders also know that the success or failure of their group depends on their leadership ability, Ms. Elizabeth Brammer, yearbook and newspaper adviser, said. Leadership played an important role in the success of all the active groups on campus. The one organization that set the tone for the school year and its success was Stu- dent Congress. We have never had a group of council members who worked as hard as the ones this year, Mrs. Denise Newton, spon- sor, said. ing the school, and they always made the time to do just that, Laura McBurnett, junior, said. Leading the Congress as president was Dawn Hardin. Being Student Council president was not an easy job. There were many council members who worked really hard to make the year a success, and without them, nothing would have been possible. It takes a lot of time and energy to be a leader, but I think it's worth it, she said. Sometimes leadership proved to be a lonely job. Although the prom has always been sponsored by the Iunior Class, the only real help came from the officers, one junior complained. This year's officers worked days and nights preparing for the prom.

Club members learned how to share responsibilities in order to make various activities successful. There's no way a drama produc- tion can be a success without the ut- most effort from everyone involved, Mr. Dwayne Reneau, drama teacher, said. Many activities this year involved the cooperation of several clubs work- ing together on big projects. Various clubs pitched in and worked to create beautiful floats for the homecoming parade. Ag and shop members opened their doors and shared not on- ly their facilities and provided places for groups to work on the floats, but were always on hand to help out, too. We were glad to be able to help, Mr. Pete Barrera, industrial arts t e a c h e r , said. . 162 V5'?1v'l Life in the Fast Lane Drama students and choir members worked together to stage Camelot, Calallen High School's first musical production.
