ASB makes things happen ccomplishment describes this year’s Associated Studentbody officers as they finished all they set out to do. Their projects included the Homecoming Dance, Christmas basket program, developing a student store, working on the budget levies, painting downtown fire hydrants, and a few others. The Chinese Golden Acrobats and Magicians, a fundraiser, was extremely successful. The ASB officers also purchased the reader board in the Student Center to announce upcoming events. The group worked well together. As Brian Calvert said, “I think my role was very small, but it takes all the roles working together to get things done.” ASB officers represented the studentbody well and had a member at all of the school board meetings. “This group worked on campus improvements and improved the overall feeling and spirit among the students,” said Greg Ross, principal. The officers had a wide range of goals and a well balanced program. They worked not only on projects for the good of the school, but also on projects to benefit the community. The Homecoming Dance was a first this year. In previous years there had been a Homecoming Court, but no dance except for the normal aftergame dances. Holly Moline was in charge of this project and said, “It was hard work but very worthwhile and successful.” This “first” coincided well with the start of the Centennial year. The job of being an ASB officer is not as easy as it first appears. After the election, much hard work is done on many projects. Each person is assigned his or her own personal projects. Being an ASB officer requires a lot of time. They are expected to be at school at 7:00 am every week day. Much time is also spent after school on their projects. 18 Student Council ASB OFFICERS (from left) Chris Lam-pert. 2nd vice president; Holly Moline, secretary; Mike Saucedo, president; Greg Cole, 1st vice president; Ruth Harelson, treasurer, and Brian Calvert, 3rd vice president.

20 Mardi Gras A desert dance ith a desert moon overhead and the decor of a foreign land, the Girls Gym was transformed into an Arabian Night, the theme for the 1988 Mardi Gras. Over 120 couples attended the annual dance held on Saturday, March 5 from 8-12 p.m. Honor Society sponsored the money-making event with tickets at $10 per couple. The proceeds raised went toward the National Honor Society scholarships which are given to deserving members each year. Newcomb Photography designed the background scene using tapestries and sand and took the traditional couple pictures for the evening. Mardi Gras has traditionally been the event for the crowning of the Kave King. Senior Chris Rossel was voted King by the studentbody in a schoolwide election, and escorted to the dance by sophomore Monique Brown. “I had a great time at the dance compared to other years. I was really surprised about winning, but honored of course!” commented Chris. The King’s court included: seniors Dan Trader and Chris Rossel; juniors Joe Smith and Eric Bergman; sophomores Scott Simpson and Matt DeForest; and freshmen Cam Lampert and Rick Jenkins.
