StuCo faces controversies, changes; ffOtudent Council (StuCo) was faced V with many problems and controver- sies this year, but ended the year with more support than I've seen in the three years I've been here, said Mark Rector, senior. Steve Sublett, sponsor, agreed. Students this year gave overwhelming support to StuCo. The first controversy that StuCo faced was a petition to' abolish it. The petition submitted by Bob Wyttenbach, senior, stated, As it is the Student Council of LHS does little or nothing of value for most students. The abolishment of StuCo never came, but controversy didn't stop there. During a February StuCo meeting. Rector was told by Sublett to sit down and not editorialize during his motion to review the Spirit Club Constitution's method of electing cheerleaders. According to Rector, 'The controversy was whether or not the administration had the right to censorship. The motion was again brought up in the next meeting and was passed by StuCo. As a result of these controversies, changes were made in the council. We established greater organization at meet- ings, and we also created new activities, said Janet Scannell, StuCo president. The new activities included an Open Season on Males Week (OSOM), a school carnival and a Teacher Apprecia- tion Day. During OSOM StuCo volunteers delivered more than 2,000 love notes to students during second hour. The school carnival allowed different groups to set up booths to raise money with half the funds going to an all-school project. Teachers received cookies and coffee during second hour on Teacher Apprecia- tion Day and returned to their cars to find letters under the windshield wipers with the word arrested printed largely on the ticket. However, when the ticket was opened and examined more thoroughly, the ticket read, Your atten- tion is arrested to tell you teachers are appreciated. Stuco also supplied 50 needy families with holiday baskets, sponsored a party at the Ballard Center for underprivileged children, directed Homecoming activities and sponsored six dances. Lions' Pride, the school committee to promote pride in the school, bought a diversity of items for the school this year, said John Forbes, Lions' Pride sponsor. 'The committee started the year I with approximately $3,000, which we used to buy concrete benches, concrete j trash cans, a portable Public Address sys- tem, bulletin boards and a mirrored hall-1 way by the Theatre Department, said] Matt McCarter, committee chairman.I They also purchased a scoreboard for the I gym, decorative wooden lions and tentsl for the Science Department. 28
