Attitudes rule success Staff rapport, writing abilities strongest assets If the views of the staff members were any indication, 1983’s Ad- vocate was an improved publication over the year before. A consensus of the seventh-period journalists agreed that attitude changes were major fac- tors. Layout Editor Kevin Fullerton assessed the paper as “the best in the city and one of the best in the state.” He attributed the Advocate’s suc- cess to an experienced staff. “Most of the people have a pretty good attitude,” Kevin said. “They’re confident, and they believe that we are good.” Senior Lori Baehr agreed. “I think people have gotten into it,” she said. The feature editor was pleased with the interaction among the 16-member staff. “We get along,” she said. “We can kid around with each other.” However, the camaraderie did not interfere with the production of the 12 issues. Second-year advisor Carolynn Goodwin was happy with individual efforts. “I think every member on staff has a better appreciation of the publica- tion process and what it takes to put an issue together,” she said. Citing commitment, writing and staff interaction as strengths, Good- win hoped next year’s journalists have comparable qualities.

Council promotes school’s quality StuCo provides leadership and incentive When fifteen ambitious high school students get together, things get done,” said Student Council Pres- ident Dave Duffy. He added, “We have the smallest, yet one of the most active councils in the city of Lincoln, if not in the state of Nebraska.” Five members were chosen from the junior and senior classes. A primary and general election was held in the spring. Sophomore representatives were elected in the fall after they become orientated with the school. The council meets every day during fifth period under the direction of Social Studies teacher Buford Grosscup. The council was involved in many annual events such as the Homecom- ing festivities, class competitions, Sadie Hawkins, Holiday dances, Brown Bag Day, and attending meet- ings of the Student Advisory Board. The council recognized outstanding students and faculty through their “I Make a Difference Award” which is presented to people who do not usually get the credit they deserve. The student council’s officers for 1982-83 were Dave Duffy, president; Jill Johnson, vice-president, Pam Walden, secretary; Jay Thornton, treasurer; and Sandy Scheerger, historian.
