Council practices legislative process Putting legislative action into pro- cess, Student Council members were able to bring ideas for new projects before the administration. For the first time, various Council members had the opportunity to visit represen- tatives of Fredricksburg High School and attend classes with them for a day. They in return were able to welcome visitors from Fredricksburg for the same purpose. Council also had the chance to sponsor the Bat- tle of the Bands, an event in which several high school rock bands were able to compete and be judged by disc jockeys from KTSA, KISS and KTFM. Other projects sponsored by Council included the Homecoming Dance, a mock Presidential election during November, visiting Santa Rosa's Children Hospital at Christmas and riding on a float in the Battle of Flowers Parade. Before each football game, students from opposing schools exchanged gifts and greetings. Pam Hall, Carolyn Carilfe, Kevin Brown, Sheryl Dotin, Joe Caruso, Janet Jaeckle, Rick Froelich and Stefanie Sawyer smile as they approach the representatives of an opposing school.
