Political Experience Gffered At GMHS I want to be a lawyer, or a politician, or something. So does everyone else, it seems. Almost everyone I talk to wants to be a lawyer, oh well. Someone told me I need experience in government to get in a good law school, to show a true interest in the field, I guess. Thank goodness GMHS offers multiple opportunities for me to do this, like Gov- ernment Club and Senate. The students in Government Club learn a great deal, said Faith Gunther, sponser. They have a better understanding of how laws are passed and prepared, Also, the club shows how citizens can act as lobbyists. This helps students prepare for future careers. Senate, similarily has played an important part in how students gain ex- perience in the real working force. Since the people in Senate interact with fifty other students, they learn about diploma- cy and compromising, stated Bobbie Chiles, sponser. The students also grasp an understanding of how to talk to people and explain themselves clearly. Another important factor is that the students learn how to organize. Since pupils in Senate are in charge of Homecoming, winter re- treats and such, they have the opportuni- ty to do a lot of organizing. President- VJ Greco SecretaryfTreasurer- Monica Hamilton

tt, tt rift tis. Rowdy Seniors Show Class Spirit Senior pranks are as much a part of being a senior as easy classes and graduation. Yet lately, the administration has been seriously discouraging any such activities due to some destructive pranks previous classes have done. The class of 1980 had some of the rnost vicious pranks. ln the middle of that year, Dr. Marilyn Henderson took over the princi- pal's job after Byron Tucker left. This change only gave more inspiration to the already rowdy class, to see how much she would tolerate. Consequently, the rest of the school was subject to doors being blocked with manure, straw on the floor, and skunk oil in the rug among a few. Also that year Wheat Ridge High School gained local publicity because of a prank dealing with dead cats in the ceilings. Some less destructive pranks done at GMHS and other schools have included stringing bras up in the cafeteria, t.p.ing the school, trying to check out all the books in the library, and shredded paper on the floor. One of the classics occured during the 1982 Prom fashion show. Masked men ran through the assembly -nude. One teach- er commented, I think it's the funniest thing that's happened all year. This year 40 seniors arrived at school by 6 am November 24, in their pjs, for a pajama party in senior hall. They brought sleeping bags, tvs, orange juice, etc. and they even played silent bomb and had a pillow fight. ix, i. Wg ' 7 3, Q 1, i . , l e Ari Annette Vitry satires Brooke Shields.
