The Student Council provided a wide range of activities for the student body. We goto student council meetings every Thursday and discuss activites for the week and remind people of assignments for the week, said Student Body Secretary Michelle Redden, We are in charge of the activities sponsored by the student council like the Hawaiian party, Cans for the Needy, some movies and dances. Historian Shelly Odom added, We didn't really have any new activities, we just worked on making the traditional ones better. The organization kept classes and clubs active by requiring them to do service projects that had to be ap- proved by the student council before they could take place. One of the reasons the council provided so many activities was to combat the problem of student apathy. There seems to be a big gap between those who are really active and those who just don't caref' said Hicks. We, as a student council, have tried to be friends to everyone and I think there have been more students participating this year. She added, At pep assemblies there has always been those who just sit in the back of the bleachers and don't cheer or get excited. We wanted to get everyone excited and active. Besides doing this, the executive council, which is made My .

Odom said, I took pictures at all activities and made bulletin boardsg I also made a school scrapbook of activi- ties. We take the scrapbook to workshops we have with other schools' student councils and share our ideas with them. Spanish Club Representa- tive Lynn Stewart said, We are the voice of the peopleg we report what the student body thinks. The executives come up with most of the ideas for activitiesj' said Pep Club Representative Adesa Cagle. We vote on them and then help plan and carry them out. But the whole council did do many things together. We visited Cheyenne to sit in on a session of the state legislature and meet the govemorf' said Student Body Treasurer Monique Lewis.

For NHS mem- bers create new ideasg they exe- cute thern,' then they go on to create more new ideas. Helping Hand. After installation of new officers, NHS Vice President Senior Jay Buckley shows Sophomore Tracy Vercimak how to put her touch on her officer pin. lam Clubs NHS This yngurt's fur yuu. The cultured clan received thank you's in the form of apples and yogurts from student body's model group. d0,this yogurt's for you, the National Ho or Society members said as they passed out yogurt to teachers at a moming faculty meeting. Does this mean we are sour milk? asked Agriculture Teacher Rex Hamner. No, said NHS Advisor Carol Buckley, This means you are cultured. One of the major activities of the NHS was teacher recog- nition. Earlier in the school year the members passed out shiny red Delicious apples, reminiscent of students giving teachers apples. This is all just a touch of thoughtfulness on the NHS members' part, noted Buckley. Teacher Del Turner said, I think it's a good idea because usually some students think of the teacher as an adversary. The NHS effort models a better teacher-student relationship, resulting in more friendly attitudes among all students and teachers. The NHS mem- bers were leaders. NHS members create new ideasg they execute themg then they go on to create more new ideas, added Buckley. One idea originated by the NHS was the Smile, it's Lolli- pop Day. The student council liked the idea, so continued the activity this year. The NHS also led by being huggers for the Special Olympics. For Christmas, the NHS went to the Child Development Center in Mountain View. They participated in many Christ- mas activities like giving stockings and having a Santa for the children. Each child seemed so happy that people would care for them and be willing to spend time with them, giving them attention, said Senior Melody Apezteguia. Junior Michelle Redden said, I liked it because the children were so friendly. Others were shy and I thought that was cute. For their yearly cultural trip, the NHS attended Handel's Messiah cantata performed by the Utah Oratorical Society at Salt Lake City. While there they toured and shopped. It was very cultural and I liked the music, said Junior Dana Vercimak. Other activities included the initiation of new members and a Sweet Heart Social which was a party for couples. We had more activities this year and that made it more interest- ing for me, said Senior Den- nis Johnson. Getting into NHS was not an easy task. To do so a person showed scholarship, service, leadership and good character. Once a student joins he or she must continue to show these good qualities, said Librarian Carol Buckley. Jim Chapman
