Senate This year's Senate overcame many obstacles throughout the year. Some of them included the new principal, a new advisor, and a relatively new executive council. Senate worked first semester on changing their constitution. One of the changes was royalty. The change was made so that a person may be an attendant at social events once as an underclassman and once as a senior. The other main change was the number of sena- tors. The number was dropped from eight to five, and there will not be class secretaries any mote. Instead one senator at each class meeting will be appointed as the secretary for that meeting. I feel that the changes to our constitution and its by-laws were necessary for our school and our senate's effectiveness, said student body presi- dent Scott Paquette. Senate sponsored the main events of the year. One of the first was homecoming week, royalty, the carnival and the dance. The dance was one of the best ever, thanks to the head of the dance committee, jenny Smith junior. She said, The Homecoming Dance was successful because we were determined to make a profit and everyone worked really hard.' Some of the other activities Senate sponsored were the Sweetheart Dance Sadie Hawkins, Air Bands Prom and Graduation. Student Senate Exchanges were also a fun thing that Senate participated in. This is where a part of our Senate visits another school and views their Senate and the whole school life then their Senate takes a look at G.M.H.S. When we visit other schools on Senate Ex- changes we borrow their good ideas to better our school, and in turn they borrow ours to better their schools, Scott Paquette said.

X 'X LE Victor And Spirit A sea of black and gold engulfed the school on Friday September 25th. During the week students found themselves dressing clash, back- wards, as twins, in sweats, and school colors. There were mixed reactions from students toward Spirit week. Senior Scott Prinzi thought that, there wasn't enough participation. Todd Tyson, junior, has another view, I thought there was a lot of school spirit and group unity. This was a year of new ideas. A carnival was held on Saturday Sep- tember 26th. Clubs and organizations were encouraged to set up booths. As with every new idea opposition occurs. The carnival was more for little kids instead of us, said Brett Wichert, senior. The carnival did prove to be a financial success and student body president Scott Pa- quette, hopes that next year's student council will publicize it better. The week also was successful for our sports teams. The soccer team beat Arvada West, 7-1, and Lake- wood, 5-1. At the Christian Zietz In- vitational the cross country team placed third for girls and fifth for boys. At the Homecoming game the junior class sold gold balloons to be let go at kick-off and the Rams turned the gold into a victory. For the first time in five years Green Mountain won its Homecoming game. Chatfield was defeated 14-7. The annual powder puff game was played with the seniors defeating the juniors by a touchdown. This year's Homecoming was filled with new ideas and changes, ones that reflect the enthusiasm and spirit of Green Mountain.
