The celebration for the eightieth birthday of Hellgate was one of the main goals the Student Federation had for the past year. The federation planned to take a week in April to celebrate. An assembly bringing back past alum- ni, guest speakers and having a painting made of the school are just some of the ideas they had. This year was the first time Hellgate had co-presidents. The idea behind it was to share the responisbility, senior Brian Murphy said that it didn’t work because of communication problems and it was just too confusing.” The term was divided up with Brian Murphy taking the first half of the year and David Mainwaring tak- ing the second. A goal of the senior class federa- tion was to unite the school more by improving communicaton between the students and the federation. A main goal for the junior class federation was to have a successful prom. They earned some money for this by having a garage sale, rak- ing leaves and other fundraisers. An idea box was placed in the central office where students could put in their ideas for the prom theme. The winner received a ticket to the prom. A goal the sophomore class federation had was to put on a good Valentine’s dance and to raise money for their prom, next year Sophomore Anna Volinkaty said they were going to try not to do so many things, but do a few and do them well. ” The freshman class federation planned to earn money and to help with the birthday celebration.
