I think the kids really learned how the decision process works, said Mr. Windle, adviser for student council. The student council started out slow because there wasn ' t an activity period in which the student council could meet during school. Instead they had to wait and meet after school. But they decided to wait until second semester for activities. In January, student council had a movie called The Chosen Survivors. It was shown in the cafetorium. They also had a talent show based on the Gong Show. It was cancelled until the following week because the eighth graders had to go to the high school for orientation, and they wanted to see it. Some of the acts were: Troy Nukes ' band, Stephanie Black, Mark Stevens, and Clayton Withrow. They also had a student council day in April. Student council day was when the members of student council taught classes instead of the teachers. The officers were elected by student council instead of by the student body as in years before. It was a violation of the old constitution, said Mark Mazer, president of student council. The old constitution was lost so they wrote a new one so the officers would be elected by the student body in the future. The new student council started late which was the major problem. Rick Meyer practices after school for the student council talent show. The talent show was scheduled for February 18th but was rescheduled for February 25th.
