Student Council keeps student and faculty fed-happy The hustle and bustle of Student Council members meant that numerous activities had been planned for the fall months. The month of August was scheduled with a freshman orientation and a Sundae on Friday. On the 20th, freshmen were given their much-needed tour around the building. In order to become more involved in extra-curriculars, they were also given a listing of all clubs, organizations, and sports at Hall. On August 30, an all-school assembly was held in the football stadium. Afterwards, Student Council served oreo's and ice cream to everyone. The start of school also initiated the tradition of selling doughnuts before classes. An extra treat was added with the selling of orange drink. Something new for Council members was the making of school supplies available for purchase. In September, members attended a Students Against Drunk Driving program at L-P. This month Student Council also greeted new faculty members at Hall with a spirit pack, a big help to get them through their first year, A fall workshop at Streator was attended by members in October. Much brainstorming took place as ideas on leadership and spirit were bounced around. For Homecoming, a frame was made as an entry in the parade. Ill-fated rain caused its cancellation, along with other floats intended for the parade. The selling of football suckers proved to be more successful than the parade for Council members. American Education week in November was a very busy but fruitful time. Council members delivered helium balloons, pens, and pencils to surprised faculty. The teachers were then honored by the delivery of tasty doughnuts and coffee on Thursday. A potluck on Friday put the gourmetcooking talents of the students to the test. Many scrumptious dishes were brought by members so that the teachers could satisfy their taste buds at lunchtime. Friday afternoon saw a well-planned pep assembly in the gym, The varsity basketball players were introduced and then played a short scrimmage for the audience. Then the wrestlers were introduced, and exhibited matches in the different weight classes for a very informative assembly to end the week.

Olympics employee from Sarajevo learns of life in the United States Brightening the halls of Hall High School was a visitor from Sarajevo. Yugoslavia, Mladen Latinovic. Hosting Mladen was the James Miller family and daughter Katy. Enjoying the opportunity to travel to various countries throughout the world had broadened his perspective. He worked at the 1984 Winter Olympics in his hometown. A year in the United States would highlight his quest for knowledge. The transition to American way of life was not difficult for the easygoing giant. Standing 6'5 , he asked Coach Bryant if he could tryout for the basketball team. A pleasant surprise was his athletic ability. Mladen's biggest problem was the translation of the English thrown at him. It came with such speed that he was unable to keep up with his translation dictionary. Quickly the grasp was made with the new language. The tall blond exchange student blended into the student body at Hall. The year quickly went by and the time to say farewell to his new friends was at hand.
