Changes Improve Student Congress A change of president often brings a change in govern- ment, as in the case of the Jersey Village Student Con- gress. With the election ofa new president, Kathleen Mur- phy, came a better organized form of conducting the Stu- dent Congress business. Student Congress incurred a maior overturn. For the first time in Jersey Village's history a female had become the voice of the student body. Meetings were less fre- quent, held on a once a month basis. Monthly luncheons were held with Dr. Joe Harper, Superintendent, for the purpose of discussing the issues at hand. Representatives were elected from the districts in which they live. Each class appointed three senators to represent them at each meeting. President Kathleen Murphy selected her own personal cabinet to advise her on school problems. Presidential Cabinet: Dennis Bailey, Secretary of Student Welfare, Chris Cantell, Special Assistant to President, Terry Wirzberg, Billy Land, Secretary of Student Relations, Jeannie Farmer, Secretary of Treasury, Beth Baldwin, Secretary of School Activities, Ernest McMillan, Secretary of Academic Stud- ies, and Kathleen Murphy, President.

JETS Excel in Engineering On March 4, members of the Junior Engi- neering Technical Society attended an all day conference at Texas A8:M University, where they took tests in biology I, Il, chemistry I, Il, physics, slide ruel, calculus, and a general mathematic test, which was a combination starting with algebra through calculus. These tests and contests help students wanting to further their skills in the areas of mathematic and scientific fields. Some members attended the Ninth Annual Offshore Technology Conference held at the Astrohall. The Conference is the world's larg- est annual meeting devoted to offshore resource recovery, and it provides a unique opportunity for high school students to view some of the applied technology and equip- ment that is used in this multi-billion dollar industry.
