1--an Kelly Murphy student body Secretary James Miller student body Treasurer. I feel very fortunate to have partici- pated in Senate this year. My four years at Green Mountain might not have seemed complete without Senate. Prior to my senior year, I participated in a number of organizations, but Senate had by far, the greatest impact on my life. Senate has taught me to have respect for myself and others and that every individ- ual has the power to help change things for the better if only he has the desire. This power is at it's best when individuals with the common interest of positive change unite and work in cooperation. When there is loyalty within a group and I feel as though I could never express to you how much live learned from being a part of G.M.l-l.S. l'm not always one who writes 'truly wonderful' stuff, yet seeing how much l want to l'm going to do my best. ln everyway l can, within the next few paragrphs I want you to feel and think about how special high school really is. I feel the beauty of high school consists of Laughing, sharing, loving, strug- gling, growing, failing, succeeding, pro- tecting, and defending. lt's striving for perfection, friendship, respect, and intelli- gence. lt's practicing, and studying, and for some weeks, months, years your in a constant state of confusion. Along with dreaming, hoping, trying, and caring more than you ever thought you could. It's setting goals for yourself, your team, friends, grades, squads, and your school. The hardest of all is keeping your goals in sight. You want to be close to everyone and let them know you genuinely care. High school is making friends, helping a stranger overcoming insecurities, and be- coming your own person. lt's all ihellos' and unfortunately some heartbreaking a strong common interests, there is a power that really makes things happen. Each member is important because each has his or her own unique and creative ideas to make the attainment of goals easier. One thing that you, the reader, should know is that your contribution to an orga- nizations is more important than you think. Participate in all that you can throughout your remaining years at Green Mountain High School and l am sure that this school will reflect a health- ier lspirit '. fgood-byes'. Yet you learn, once some- one is in your heart, they always will be. It's reaching out to people in creative, sentimental, and romantic ways. lt's working hard, and showing that you real- ly are worth and you donlt only have potential but that you can use your tal- ents for the better of your school and community. These are many, but not all, of the wonderful qualities high school holds for students. l feel more than hon- ored to have shared so many of these special times with my friends in Senate. lt's great we were all elected but what's even neater is we can all be good leaders. We've worked on our leadership skills throughout the year so we are the best we can be. Everyone in Senate worked and cared so much about each other and our school. ln can sincerely say l love everyone in our Senate and l'm lucky to have so many memories to treasure for- ever. Our Senate is an example of what makes the world go around, they 'Let their love shine in so many ways.' Senate of 85-85. Student Body Officers 89

Student Body Officers When I leave Green Mountain I would like to think that I left a positive impactg compensation for the four tremendous years Green Mountain has given me. As Student Body President I tried to accom- plish many Senate goals that would hope- fully better this school and make it some- what better for classes to come. These goals included improving communica- tions within the school, increasing student involvement, completing more communi- ty projects, and achieving a better reputa- tion throughout the school. In addition, I woud hope Senate produced more lead- ers with greater skills to motivate, orga- Green Mountain High School! It's amazing how quickly the four years we spend here go by. I can't even believe l'm going to graduate. So many memories have been made here that I will remem- ber all my life. It seems like it was just a few days ago when we started school here. I remember listening to Mr. Perault scream in his Government and Due Pro- cess class, cheering at Freshman games, running for senate, writing the required ten pages in my scribbled-on Big Chief in Mr. Starkey's Sophomore Language Arts, cheering at J .V. games, and running for Junior senate. Giving speeches in Ms. Foreman's class on astrology and bulletin nize, and lead not only here, but through- out their lives. I feel Senate was success- ful in meeting these goals and I hope we left a positive example for years to come. I'm glad I had this wonderful opportunity not only to be a part of one of the great- est Senate ever and working for forty- seven motivated, fun people, but also to enjoy four years of learning and growing. Green Mountain has given me far more than I can ever repay. If I could leave one message to future students entering Green Mountain, it would be to take ad- vantage of all that is offered, for these will prove the best years of their lives. boards. Cheering varsity games and run- ning for Student Body Vice President. Finally, the first senior class meeting. Cheering everytime someone mentions Red Rocks. Ordering caps and gowns re- alizing you're almost there, I'm sure Green Mountain holds the same special moments and memories for everyone. The experiences and friendships I've got- ten from this school will always be a part of me. So much has happened and I have gained and discovered so many things that I know for sure that these have defi- nitely been the 'greatest years of my life, so far. , 88 Student Body Gfficers Guy Gunther student body President Mallory Moore student body Vice President. if

The Nationalists They don't call the plays or shoot the baskets, but without them, no team could be complete. They are the Varsity Cheer- leaders, and through lots of hard work and dedication, they have become one of the best squads in the state. Now they're aiming to be the best in the nation by winning the national competition in Dal- las, Texas on December 28 and 29th of this year. Accompanying them, of course, is Ms. Monica Foreman, who says she wouldn't miss it for the world. It was alot of hard work, starting right after school was over, and everyone else was relaxing. Short only one squad mem- ber, the cheerleaders departed for cheer- leading camp at C.S.U in Fort Collins, where they lost another team member, Mallory Moore, who broke her arm, but nevertheless, cheered her squad to victo- ry while standing on the sidelines. The practice is a grueling two hours everyday after school, and after that they planned fundraisers, including putt putt golf and a Homecoming booth selling flowers. So, thankyou Cheerleaders, for cheering our teams on to victory, and come December, we'1l be cheering you on to victory in the national competition.
