1... Freshmen This year's Freshman senate was sponsored by Mrs. Chiles, Language Arts teacher. Mrs. Chiles, who has been with Senate for the past two years was quoted as saying: Senate is for the people who want to learn how to be a leader and who want to better themselvesfl This years Freshman senate helped plan Homecoming. They assisted in planning spirit week, the float display, the parade, half time at the game with Golden, and the Homecoming dance. Senate requires a very large commitment from it's senators. The average senate officer spends about 50 hours a week on senate projects, Mrs. Chiles commented. Freshman senate helped format projects including Winterfest, the Sadie Hawkins Dance, the Winter Dance, and assemblies. They also took the responsibility of cleaning the trophy cases, and they acted as guides at different social activities, such as back to school night, registration, and parent-teacher conferences.

Not much has hapened this year so far but we are already working on promf, When the junior senators met, they discussed what could be done to improve the school, threw ideas in, and made motions. When asked about Senate, in general, the replies were, lt was a good year. A lot has been accomplished. These people were willing to work hard. You couldn't say anything about the freshmen when they sat two seats in front of us. The main thing the Junior Senators think they accomplished this year was building good leaders, and helping to unite the classes.

During my years at GMHS I have learned a lot about life and about people. I have learned that everyone is special and has a great deal to offer. I have also learned the more you give, the more you f receive. Iid like to encourage all of t you to put the most you can into .ty I I your highschool years, and never stop trying to be the best you can be. A I am proud to have been part of the spirit in Green Mountain, 5 .S N which has made it one of the best. J. I'm especially glad to have had the . opportunity to be a part of Senate. fi It has given me the chance to really become involved in our school. Through cross country, track, and Senate, I have made friends and memories that will last forever. I wish you all happiness and the best of luck! Kelleen Huan Student Body Vice President I feel that being in Senate for three years has been one of the greatest experiences of my three years in highschool. Senate has helped take more pride in our school and get more involved. It has also helped make many new friends. I feel that being in highschool is one of the best time in a persons life especially if they get involved. By getting involved in a club, sport, or senate or just dressing up on a spirit day or going to a pep assembly helps to make the school year greater and enables one to meet new people and experience new and exciting things. I would like to wish the class of '84 good luck in the future. I would also like to wish the underclassmen good luck in highschool and encourage them to get involved. I am looking forward to a great senior year, I know it will be the best. Tara Cronin Secretary Student Body Officers 87

Senate is an organized student government, in which the members are elected by the students here at Green Mountain High, presided over by the student body president, Micky Cronin. As a group, they took responsibility of all social activities with exceptions of concerts and plays. Some activities included Homecoming, Prom, Winterfest, community projects and the charitable canned food drive for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Debating was a big part of senate. It was the way they decided on what they want to do. Mrs. Bobbie Chiles, senate advisor, said, Senate is a great way to learn leadership, self discipline and responsibility. It is also a great way to meet people. Seniors This year's senior senators did a lot for the school and the community. For instance, they improved school grounds, decorated at Homecoming and other dances, and cleaned the trophy cases. They also organized the 1983 pep assemblies and arranged the Scnior's class meeting for graduation and other important functions. Most importantly though, they participated in the canned food drive for the Jeffco action center so that less fortunates could have a happier Thanksgiving and Christmas. This year as usual senate packed their bags and went on a retreat for three days. lt brought a closeness like nothing before. said Steve Chase. This year the seniors didn't have any fundraisers. They saved their money from past years. Troy Tyson commented. We had a very close and hardworking senior class this year. l was really pleased. BACK: Jolene Baca, Julie Chavez. MIDDLE: Troy Tvson.
