Gap Between Students And Administrators Bridge By Student Government When one thinks of a government, one normally imagines a f;roup of people which runs a arger group. However, at EHS, it is the job of the administration to run the school. The student government acts as an aid to the administration, a gap between students and faculty members. The Student Council, made up of the officers from each grade plus four student bodv officers, mainly concerns itself with activities not directly related to the normal school day. Their fund raiser was. once again, the sale of sweatshirts, t-shirts, and other small items. The money raised was used towards the preparations for Homecoming and towards sending some officers to seminars about drugs in schools. The main project for the council, though, was to help with the various service projects. For the first year, each grade (9-12) participated in a community service project which the Student Council nelped to organize. The Freshmen helped in the joy and Sharing of Christmas at the Broadmoor Presbyterian Church, the Sophomores sponsored the 1987 Capital Area Special Olympics Basketball Tournament, the Juniors helped set up for the River City's Fall Craft Festival, and the Seniors participated in a blood drive run by Our Lady of the Lake Hospital. The Student Life Council was a new organization added to the school this year which consisted of 7 students, chaired by Micheal Ory and sponsored by Janie Johnson. It proved to be successful as the group maintained a certain quality of life for students at EHS. The council served as an advisory and judiciary body and concerned themselves with disciplinary matters. If, for instance, the student was suspected of cheating, he or she would go before the council. The problem would then be identified and investigated by Commander Wirt. After the initial investigation, a plan of action would then be suggested. As senior Michael Carpenter, a member of the council, says, The council is comprised of students and, therefore, the student that goes before the council is facing his peers and not just the staff. For the second year, nine students in grades 10-12 became what is known as the Headmaster's Senate. The purpose of the Senate is to keep the lines open between the administration. those who make the rules, and the students, those who must follow the rules. The members periodically meet with Fr. Hancock to discuss issues and policies relating to the school. This way. the administration gets to hear the students' point of view, and the students are better able to understand how and why regulations are made. Student Body Vice President Brandon Biown addresses the issue of the new Student Life Council and the rules relating to it. Only with the financial help of the Students Council could Homecoming, and thus, the senior skit. take place. Student Government 27
