0R LEADERS Leadership is an honor and an excellent means for students to express their opinions and get involved Election to an office is an honor as well as a responsibil- ty. Officers are expected to give up after school hours to attend meetings and organize fund-raisers. Perhaps the bu- siest time of the year for a class officer is during Field Day because they are expected to offer any help they can to supervise along with the Field Day chairmen. The nature of the fund- raisers is generally left up to the students, but in some cases, different committees are expected to do certain events Congress has traditionally run the blood-drives and has recently begun sponsoring the smoke-out days. The Junior class is given the responsibility to plan the J-hop which requires much time and ad- vanced planning. The Senior class has special duties too. They handle the Sadie Haw- kins dance, and must plan their own Senior Dinner, Swing-out, and graduation ceremonies. Student leadership is an excellent means for kids to express their views and learn how to work together to get the job done. 0 THE TRADITION OF GENEROSI- TY is kept alive by Congress members like Sue Freydl who encourage giving to UNICEF. 52 LEADERSHIP
