Working Hard to Make Things Right The commissioners are a group of students elected to take the responsibility of running the Student Council. Unlike the Girls' Council, Ninth grade Organization, or Lancers, the Student Council plans ac- tivities for the whole school. The De Anza students depend on them to know what they want and don't want and try to do something about it. Everyone respects them because their jobs are not easy. The head of the commissioners is the president, Kathy Hartman. She runs the Student Council meet- ings and makes sure that the other commissioners are on their toes. Next is the vice president, Larry Romero. His job is to take the president's place when she is absent. He also helps her with her other duties, Debbie Zinskey is the secretary. She has the important job of taking down the minutes and making sure that every person in the Student Council has a copy of the minutes of the last meeting. Our treasurer is Jeanette Young. She is supposed to make a treasurer's report at every meeting. This report consists of the amount of money made in recent activities, money spent and the balance of their ac count. Next is Shelley Moore. She is the Commissioner of service. Her job is to take care of the preparations for school activities . The Commissioner of Girls activi- ties is Kim Ford and the Commission- er of Boys is Robert Ruiz . Both of their jobs are along the same line, Kim is in charge of girls activities and Robert is in charge of boys. They also have one special job. Commis- sioner of girls is the chairman of the Girls Council. The Commissioner of boys is the head of the Lancers. Susan Downing was first elected Commissioner of girls activities but then she moved, the students had to elect another. They elected Kim Ford.
