Doug Gross passed on his duties this year as student mayor to Kathy Son- dag. Although Kathy is not the only girl to have run for this position, she was the first girl to be elected. The victory was not easily accomplished. David Schneider and Gary Weihs also set out to prove that they would be able mayors. The campaign managers played a big part in the election. They made the posters for their candidates and gave speeches for them the day of the election. They also helped write their candidates' speeches. David's managers were Larry Burke, Ric Petersen, and Tim Grimsley. Those helping Gary were Todd Ptoecl-zer, Steve Goeser, and jim Coenen. Dan Goetz, Carol Leinen, Laurie Paulsen, and Ted Iohnson assisted Kathy. The elections are held every year after second semester. The nominees must have a 2.5 grade average and have twenty-five people sign their petition before they are qualified to run. The new mayor works with the old mayor so that he will have some experience before doing the job alone. Kathy's platform promoted changes in honor study hall rules and moder- nization of the school constitution to exclude the freshmen who are no longer with us. Her duties will in- clude introducing guest speakers at assemblies, conducting student coun- cil meetings, and communicating the student body's ideas to the ad- ministration for approval.
