student council Carnival a success Actual involvement in student government, began with the elections in the spring of 1977. Then in late August council members met to brain storm for fall activities. President Dave Delsman opened the year with an invitation for students to get together and make the year, the best ever . First semester was highlighted by the traditional council-sponsored Homecoming, complete with a spirit week, coronation and dance. Using room representatives input and imagination, the group suggested a wide range of school activities. Highlighting second term was the third annual spring carnival. Based on the idea of clubs preparing and operating a variety of food and game booths, the March affair was both well-attended and a money-maker.

Foreign relations Finns dominate Outi Koivisto, attractive, well travelled, athletic and artistic, was guest of the Mel Dickerson family of Dallas. She noted that the thing she liked most was the warmth and friendship shown by residents. Interested in dramatics where she was an actress; she also played the piano, did a lot of touring and made speeches. Our other Finnish guest, Jyri Larikka, spent the year with the Tom Newton family. He was sponsored by the Youth for Understanding program and made many friends while at D.H.S. His time was divided between his music (a violin player of ten years experience) sports (including skiing, tennis and travelling) and his hobby of photography. Jyri thoroughly enjoyed Dallas and hoped to see more of the U.S. following school dismissal. A third guest was Claudio Bonato who came to D.H.S. as a Rotary Exchange student at midterm. The San Paulo, Brazil native was here for one term of 1978. Claudio will return to Brazil to graduate and plans to travel widely over the summer. He spoke native Portuguese and felt Dallas was a good school with warm and friendly students. His first hosts were the Larry Pursel family.
