Undercover workers Extra enthusiasm, dedication made school-centered projects special hroughout the school year there were many people who lived in the limelight. However, there was another side to that limelight: those who did their jobs behind the scenes often went unnoticed. The cheerleaders were often thought of as just spirited, hyper girls, yet being a cheerleader was sometimes just plain hard work. Booster posters were made dur- ing the summer, and posters to be in the gym during pep rallies were made during the week. The musicals also revealed some hard workers. Light, sound, and general work crews worked long hours to perfect the necessities of the play.

Student Council difference Mikize a difference. The members of the Student Council strove for this, and, as a result, the year was determined a success. Being on the Student Council wasn’t easy. Vice president Valerie Whitley explained, “A Student Council member should be a doer, not a talker.” Student Council sponsored most of the assemblies students enjoyed during the year. Sophomore representative Kristi Story said, “Special events give the students a break. Even if everyone doesn’t enjoy each ac- tivity, they’re at least glad to get out of class.” Student Council made some important organizational changes. Committees were set up to cut down on decisions made by the en- tire council. Every member volunteered for at least one of the standing seven committees. In addition, each school club elected a nonvoting member to the council. This allowed the clubs to have input into council activities affecting the entire school. President Glen Tuggle said, “Leaving things up to committees cut out a lot of senseless arguing during the meetings and allowed things to go smoother.” Traditional events proceeded smoothly throughout the year, a nse %, € made the testimony to the organization of the council. A new approach to All Hallows | Eve assemlby involved bringing the classic horror movie “The Night of the Living Dead” to the student body. Ranch Day, with its traditional - class rivalry, took a different turn | with the junior defeat of the senior — class. In deference to the country- — Western trend the council brought in Mike Dunn’s band, the Nitty Gritty Copenhagen Band.
