Just as citizens were turned off by Watergate, students became apathetic about participating in the school government. When the time came to select representatives, 85 ran for 78 positions, guaranteeing victories for all but 7.

Governing each class, the three executive councils created unity through projects such as float construction, bake and magazine sales and car washes. Student Council, which represents the entire student body, attended school board meetings to learn how the administration made decisions.
