The Council was re- sponsible for planning and orga- nizing Homecoming festivities. Without the hard work of the Stu- dent Council, Homecoming would not have been enjoyed by the Hawks. The dedication of the Council to help others did not stop with the school. It also became involved in community projects. They pre- pared food baskets for needy fam- ilies during Thanksgiving. All stu- dents were asked to give canned goods to help with the project. Mrs. Wimberley advised the Council throughout the year. On Wednesdays the Council met at the end of fourth period. Students enjoyed participating in Student Council activities. (Top left) Kevin Hinton and Keith Warren take oaths at the induction. (Above) Everyone participates in Student Council discussions.
