USL SSC H Represented H J ■ igh spirit, determination, and a ■Aril sense of duty were the quali- ties ttiat made the UNITED STU- DENT LEAGUE stand out. Responsi- ble for sponsormg most of the activities on campus, the USL in 1985 planned Homecoming, Winterfest, and the first annual Midwinter Ball. Accomplishing so much in one year was no easy task. The seven council members met every- day to plan the school ' s events. We have meetings and discuss student needs, said Lynne Westafer. USL also organized new activities such as Poly Day, Disney Day, and Far Eastern Day. Through the work of USL, students were able to participate in many excit- ing events. Another such group that represented the student body was the SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL. SSC is a powerful organization that oversees the plan- ning, implementing, and monitoring of the School Improvement Program. stated SIP coordinator Bonnie Rose. Equipped with a $100,000 budget for student benefit, SSC decided where the money was to be spent. Some of it paid for the Academic Decathlon, the Mock Trial Team, a computer for the newspaper, and a copy machine for the library. Members from the PTA, staff and stu- dents were elected by their peers. Said student member Jay Stanley, If there is a problem that bothers me, I can tell the administration my opinion. Though SSC and USL were two differ- ent organizations, they functioned to- gether to maintain an active and effi- cient school. ••■ Ever concerned with minute details, Bon- nie Rose show: ;■ i:,.

Dancing the night away, Pam Watts gets into a tango. Dancing was lust one of the activi- ties at the Finertz ' s annual Halloween party. Finertz French Club Culture Thrives ■ ■ lie John W. North Society for IKJi Cultural and Community Awareness. Could there really be such a thmg? Had you asked any FINERTZ member the answer would have been Yes. Founded in 1966 by Mrs. Ober, Finertz was basically a community service or- ganization that ushered at various cul- tural productions around the county. But community service was not the group ' s only focus. There were many parties, trips, and, of course, weekly meetings. Parties such as the club ' s annual Hal- loween Party, which was thrown at Alana Cortes ' house, were held occa- sionally. The parties weren ' t wild but they were fun! commented Calvin Hao. Though Mrs. Ober advised Finertz, she still had time for other organizations, namely the FRENCH CLUB. Members of the French Club found themselves involved in many activities such as a dinner at Gerard ' s, a local French Restaurant, fund raisers, and outings with their sister club Finertz. For both clubs, the fund raisers, trips, a nd parties all came together to create an exciting and memorable year. I think the fact that both clubs had many combined activities made both more enjoyable to be in, stated Sung Robbins. • •.■ C ' est la Vie!
