Student Senate . . Referring to problems caused by the before school activity hour, President Bob Kelly commented, The Student Senate found itself in trouble with the new bell system, but in order to build better channels of communication, Senate put up a bul- letin board in front of the main office. Although hindered in exchanging ideas with stu- dents, Senate was able to communicate with the school board through the grievance committee. One member stated, lt is important to keep open this link with school authorities, even if progress seems at times slow. Goals we're working toward are black studies, a revised honor roll system, and an alternative to in-school suspension. Several groups were responsible for projects. The dance committee arranged publicity, music and decora- tions for several dances. Senate is glad to help everyone share a good time and decorating itself can be fun, observed Karolee Kassab.

Bob Kelly summed up the feelings of many Senate members: Being a member of Student Senate is one of the most rewarding experiences I have known. ll ll 1 ' re: .im 96'
