'Active' STUCO Places Second at Contest Student Council took on a new motto as the “Active Student Council. Living up to the new title they were involved in many new activities. Ecology Week, a year long project aimed to alert students of their responsibilities to keep the campus clean. Other activities STUCO was involved in include: bulletin boards, birthday cards to teach- ers, flowers and cards to hospi- talized students and of course the daily announcements with president Clay Kennedy starting each morning off with an encouraging Good Morning Pi- retts. A small refrigerator for the lounge was a surprise pres- ent from STUCO to the faculty. STUCO brought spirit to the Homecoming activities in a dif- ferent way. The eve of the Home- coming game a car bash and mascot burn were introduced along with the traditional pep rally. Imitation daiquiri, Shirley Temples, and suicides became popular “drinks” at the Pirate Cove Disco. To show that hard work really does pay off, the active Stu- dent Council proudly took a sec- ond place in the Regional out- standing Student Council Con- test. Competing with 65 schools, class B-AAAA, STUCO accumu- lated points for their various workshops, projects, associa- tions, and conventions.

NHS Honor Is Key to Society Leadership, character, service, scholarship and the 85 grade point average were the qualities consid- ered when selecting junior and sen- ior students for NHS. Membership was strong indication of the stu- dent’s character and was motiva- tion for consistent academic achievement and service to the school. The fall group was the largest number ever inducted in the Cooper Chapter. The old members tapped twenty seven junior and senior students. Eight dozen donuts, four dozen cokes and forty six robes were rounded up before third period tap- ping ceremonies. Old members lined up single file and went to vari- ous class rooms tapping new induc- tees. Afterwards, members went to the science lab for refreshments. The year's activities included co- sponsoring the UIL meet with STUCO, in which members ran errands, worked in the cafeteria, and typed up results. The annual car wash and end-of-the-year picnic at Wagner Park finished out NHS activities. Induction of two members was held in the spring. This was the smallest amount ever inducted in the society.
