I hope it can be said by everyone that there has been at least one time in this school year that they have enjoyed themselves, either as a spectator or as a participant. The effort by the student cabinet this year was to make this school year the best ever for you. It was not the effort of any one person but the combined work of the student cabinet and the student body which has accomplished this. I think that you will agree that activities with many people involved are far more exciting than those with few people showing any active interest. And the class of 1976 definitely showed a lot of involvement this year. I have learned a great deal from the faculty and the student body this year. I am very grateful to all those who helped me for their time and co- operation. Most importantly, I want to thank all of you - the entire student body - for this oppor- tunity to serve you as your student body president.

The Freshman class was a very spirited one. They gathered together to create many memories which will be cherished for years. Gail Reese, as Ninth Grade President, and Karen Choate, Vice-President, worked hard to make sure the Ninth Grade class was a successful one. Cindy Vargas was elected Ninth Grade Secretary, and Cindy Childress was chosen as Treasurer. Both girls helped immensely as the spirited Freshmen sponsored the Christmas Dance on December 12 and the fantastic and patriotic Spirit of ' 76 Dance in January. Both dances were events which will last in our memories. The Freshman class also acted as the leaders for the school by showing the Eighth Grade and Seventh Grade students the proper way to act in a junior high school. The best example of their role as leaders was the way in which the Freshmen showed spirit and pride during Spirit Week. 14 Freshmen
