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.

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.

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.
