Student Government ' NHS Leaders strive for achie ement , tr WMQMME 1 , Wteazeftt The majority of Marshall's populous went un- aware of the ongoing activities centered in room B27A. Llnder the leadership of Advisor Cathy Schar, the fourteen ambitious Executive Cabinet students engaged in various activities beyond the annual re- sponsibilities of organizing Homecoming and May Fete activites. Executive Cabinet consists of student body offi- cers, all four class presidents, activities chairper- sons, and representatives from Girl's League and SSI. Student Body Activities Chairperson Christine Belnap remarked, Learning skills and working with such a unique group of people is what makes Ex- ecutive Cabinet so enjoyable. Operation Spark , a one-day leadership training conference held to give students the spark need- ed to get involved in class, club, student govern- ment, and other leadership roles around school, took place on April 15 at Far West Federal Savings. Approximately 20 students who were elegible to run for offices received training in group dynamics, meeting skills, how to plan and organize activities, and other necessary leadership techniques. Senior Class President Kim Kaady responded, 'Operation Spark' was rewarding and valuable because interest- ed students were able to ask specific questions to officers on a one-to-one basis. A less active group, but not less impclrtant, the National Honor Society enjoyed an upsurge in mem- bership. Commented President Steven Dilley, The improvement of the National Honor Society in my four years here reflects growth in academics at Marshall. The annual induction ceremony, held on Wednes- day, February 17, 1982, welcomed twenty-three first-year members. Membership in the Marshall chapter is based upon character, scholarship, lead- ership, and service.

ex ' Verdict Lar e staffs reduce quality publications Q P -.sts , ,.,' .,.' . X ss if 4- f x sg? . Deadlines, deadlines and more deadlines was the constant pressure and worry of students involved in publications at Marshall. Meeting deadlines was both the major problem and accomplishment for the Lex and Verdict staffs. Many extra hours after school, during lunch periods and open bands were dedicated by staff members to make the school newspaper and yearbook complete. Publishing a monthly newspaper with an easy going staff took hard work, yet we still put out many respectable editions, stated Greg Worden. Compli- ments from officials in the Portland Public School District helped prove this to be true. The majority of the staff members returned from the previous year, which made the Verdict an experienced paper. Sell- ing Verd-ads during lunch periods gave the student body a chance to participate as well as giving the Verdict the chance to earn money towards publish- ing expenses. Of the four years l've been on the Verdict staff, this year was the most productive, commented Senior Steve Piacentini, second year co- editor. Celebration was the theme chosen for the l982 Lex edition. The staff spent the first eight weeks of the year involving businesses as well as individuals with the sponsorship of the Marshall yearbook. Sell- ing S2000 worth of ads helped to make it possible to have colored senior pictures. Another project which was new to the staff aided the senior colored pic- ture goal. This was the selling of a senior class poster, taken by Bruce Luzader Studios. Lex Editor Kim Kaady was involved with the Marshall year- book staff for three consecutive years. lt's a lot of hard work, but l'm really glad l had the chance to do it. lt is rewarding and worthwhile when the yearbook finally comes out in the fall, expressed Kaady. Although the two staffs seldom joined together, a potluck was held at Advisor Barbara Neeley's home to unite the members. The potluck is becoming an annual activity. lt helps raise the moral of staff members, particularly during the stress and pres- sure of spring deadlines, she commented. LEX STAFF MEMBERS Kim Jeli and Mia Flood prepare to meet their deadlines. KRISTIE JONES concentrates on distributing the l98l Lex to students in the fall. Lex ' Verdict
