Stu nt Association They act as liaison between students and administration The purpose of the Student Association is to act as a commu- nicator between the student body and the administration and to encourage student participation in all activities on campus. The officers ofthe 1978-79 Student Association feel that this dual purpose has been fulfilled as a result of activities they have sponsored and student participation and enthusiasm was tremendous. One of the favorite activities of most all the students were the discos. The Student Association officers sponsored two during the year. ln addition, the Student Association coordinated the Homecoming Dance and Queen of Hearts Dance. lt is also the duty of the Student Association to hold any elec- tions. Elections are for: freshman class officers, Homecoming Court, Mr. and Miss JCJC, class favor- ites, sophomore class officers, and student council elections. Finally, the officers of the Student Association, throughout the year, have sponsored many activities to aid local community projects. Among those were: the blood drive, Salvation Army ring-a-bell , Operation Greenlight, and the Heart fund Drive. The Student Association attributed their success to the support received from the student body and administra- tion. The officers for the 1978-79 Stu- dent Association were: President - Rusty Pittman, Vice-President - James Blackledge, Secretary - Nan Edwards. The sponsor is T. M. Waldrup. The faculty complains that the music is too loud, but Marsha Read and Shelton Lewis enjoy the disco beat. Holding student elections is a task for the Student Association. Nan Edwards and Rusty Pittman man the ballot box as Joanna Ishee casts a vote. 212 X Student Association
