In recent years at Memorial, the student council has been ineffective. I feel that this council has taken the first step in improving the record, said Student Council President Senior Iay Rockaway. This year we organized the Homecoming dance, our biggest money-making project, solved the parking problem and placed benches under the trees, near the Senior park- ing lot, commented Rockaway. At the end of each school year the student body elects new officers for the next year's council while the representatives are elected in each English class. Student Council officers for 1980- 81 were Seniors Iay Rockaway, presi- dent: Kelley Didion, vice presidentg Shari Hart, secretaryg and Iunior IoLynn Beeler, treasurer. The president further appointed a Projects Chairman, Senior Suzanne Graubartg a Parliamentarian, Senior Ioe Duncan and a new innovation in- to the council was a Sergeant-at- Arms, Senior Kyra Buchko. Last year the meetings were ex- tremely disorganized, and everyone would talk of other matters rather than listening to the meeting. So, I decided to appoint a Sergeant-1 Arms to keep everybody in line, sa Rockaway. Although the council feels th made the first step in better represe tation of the student body, they sl work for quick and effective actir on their proposals. The administi tion is a big obstacle in our way, th always veto our proposals. We tri to work closer with them, and fe that was the key to our success, co cluded Rockawayqi, by Amy Bel Student council meetings gave representativ a time to give their ideas. Iunior repress tatives Cathy Dunn, Kay McCullough, To Thompson, IoLynn Beeler and Sponsor Anne Butler listen. Photo by Taylor Stout. 66 0 Student Council
