Meeting — itis afflicts members as councils scramble for activities, ideas, results TUDENTGOVT. What has two arms, two legs, two eyes, a nose and mouth and is constantly attending meetings? If you haven’t already guessed, or don’t want to, it’s the description of a member of student government. Searching for ideas to interest students, Student Council met every Wednesday night to hear reports from the various committee chairmen. Ideas were abundant. Combined with the junior high S.C., an effort was made to install a juke box in the cafeteria. Homecoming activities were sponsored by S.C. as was the student exchange program, where numbers of other councils visited here, while GHS members went to other schools to see differences between the schools. Activities Day was an idea where students would come to school and select three two-hour classes of interest to the student, ranging from bowling, to sewing, from a study hall to learning to play the guitar. Other S.C. ideas focused on community service projects like visiting a needy family with canned goods, and a free-throw-a- thon, with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. Turnabout at Saint George Serbian Hall January 15 was sponsored by the Sophomore Class. Juniors netted $1500 for Prom by selling magazines. The Senior Class planned a senior banquet to take the place of Honors Day for presentation of senior awards. Senior, junior and sophomore executive councils organized class activities and came up with ideas for other groups. Hall decorations during Spirit Week were provided by the executive councils.

their home field after returning from college or many years of absence. Traditionally, the Homecoming game is one of the most important games of a football season. A victory over the opposing team would be a satisfying way to end the week’s hectic preparations. Winners began to appear as Jody Jeremiah and Steve Pavy were crowned Homecoming Queen and King during halftime activities. Another winning effort was the juniors ' invention, “Exorcise the Devils,” as it won first place float honors. The main attraction of Homecoming, the game, proved that the Panthers were also winners, as the team defeated Lowell, 22-12. Nimble fingers, plenty of breath and concentration are required to play a tuba and watch the game. Sophomore Dave Kraus attempts such a feat. it ' s all a part of the game. Junior Steve Orr receives treatment from senior Mike Kraus for an injury that resulted from the game. Teamwork and perseverance aren’t the only factors that drive a team to victory. The Booster Club also plays an important role. 19
