AILI G TO L - C Pl .t S George Dewey's Secret Recipe For Successful Futures-Preheat ambition at 3750 Cunlimited servingsj Ingredients: l cup leadership 1 cup poise M cup practice M1 cup organization 2 tablespoons of energy 2 tablespoons eye contact 4 heaping tspns of spirit 1 minced sincerity A sprinkle of pride A pinch of talent A dash of charisma Combine and mix well until all lumps are gone, then serve to willing students. This recipe was eagerly consumed by members of Student Council, Junior High Student Council, and Forensics. The Sr. and Jr. High student councils held separate meet- ings every month from which thoughts and ideas developed into projects and activities. These meetings were produc- tive, though a bit hectic at times. Ms. Humphrey, Student Council Adviser, commented, The council worked hard and their spirit helped them work to their full potential in lead- ing. Student Council spon- sored the lst dance of the year , the 1987 Christmas As- sembly, and the Valentines Dance, aka Heart Throb '88 . One of my greatest satisfac- tions this year, stated Nilanie Choing, secretary, was our 1st dance because it had the ,big- gest' turnout of all dancesf' Student Council also spon- sored Black Heritage Month during February in which Mar- tin Luther King pledge cards were distributed to the stu- dents and a mystery person contest was carried out. The major event Student Council organized was SPIRIT WEEK, Feb. 29-March 4. It had a very rough start but planning turned out well and smooth, stated Robia Sem- kow, public relations. Junior High Student Coun- cil, composed of spunky 7th and 8th graders, sponsored two dances this year, a Halloween Dance, held in the new cafete- ria, and a Christmas Dance at the 19th Hole. George Dewey's Forensics team, composed of students who competed in areas of speech, drama, and debate, took part in tournaments held at Clark and I.S. The team placed 3rd overall in Clark, with individual placements by Shelly Kroeger, Val Paraiso, Madeline Atok, Connie Wray, and Tracy Kline. Mr. Scales, Forensics coach, stressed, '6Public speaking is so impor- tant there is no way one can communicate without speaking. He said judging in forensics is based on poise, en- unciation, grammar, tone, and organization. The top 10 speakers, who were selected by audition, participated in the Far East Speech Festival at Seoul, Korea on March 14-16. These students were Bryan Raaz, Allison Brooks, Lisa Griffin, Liz Ahl, Chris West- bay, Connie Wray, Anne Ma- capagal, Shelly Kroeger, Holly and Val Paraiso. Rounds, What else can be added to spice up the recipe for Student Council, Junior High Student Council, and Forensics? Per- haps Madeline Atok, forensics team, has the answer, In order to get your ideas across, you must first learn to have others involved: people. 93

MICK RAKER HHART CAMPAIGN DOWN THE DRAIN! JIM A N D T A M M Y F A E FORCED TO SELL DOG- HOUSEV' In the past year, the press not only reported the news, they put the finger on everyone from presidential candidates to televangelists. GDHS news is less sensational, but the reporters are just as professional. What motivates students to work on a newspaper? Ronda Bayles said, Since my father is a journalist, I wanted to give his trade a try, plus it gives me a sense of responsibilityf' Dana Barkdoll simply described her- self as, a compulsive neurot- ic. Under the leadership of ad- viser Mrs. Van Sickle, the staff strove to produce a high school newspaper that looks like a high school newspaper. Mrs. Van Sickle's goal is to publish the best paper in DoDDS Pacific. Although most staffers felt the stress of meeting deadlines, Heather Kocina didn't be- cause, I'm ready for the dead- line before it ever comes, by finishing my articles and get- ting them edited early. An innovation this year was to have the paper printed by PaciHc Stars and Stripes. Ev- eryone had to do a professional job. What is a professional job? According to Mrs. Van Sickle, One that is not sophomoricf, Editor Liz Ahl has seen an im- provement in each succeeding issue, It's a process - I don't think about changing what we've done I think about doing it better this time. Newspaper was not enough for Liz. She got some friends together and, with the help of Mr. Scales, started a literary magazine called Vison.. The magazine consisted of poetry and prose submitted by student writers. The staff selected the best offerings for publication. As a gateway to a future ca- reer or hobby to just pass the time, Lit Mag and Newspaper are an outlet for students who are willing to rise to the chal- lenge of creatively expressing themselves in words. f uifi ! ii i' 4Ifffi fr S f 'Q 1 R eis? i T ig. i f. 5.5, ,,, s ,L . ,S U' ge .Er 3 ,S :ia CUTTIIROAT.
