M.H.S. Constitution Revised The school year began with changes that some Memphis stu- dents may have never expected. To begin with, Mr. Richard Delekta be- came the principal of Memphis High School. Also, the number of activi- ties was cut to, five for Student Council and two for classes, and other school organizations get one. With numerous ideas and plans Student Council went to work. The magazine sale became a high school-wide project to raise money for an out-door lounge near the high school office. Homecoming ac- tivities consisted of floats, blue-gold day, dress-up day, the parade, and the Homecoming Dance, which fea- tured Dazzler . Student Council has made plans for extending Homecoming activities next year. Student Council bought class rings for our foriegn exchange student friends Sandy Kondo and Udo Cegla. A reconstruction of the Memphis Student Council Constitu- tion will take place bringing new light to the student body. Future plans consist of a raffle, Sadie Haw- kins Dance, Shamrocks for Muscular Dystrophy, and possibly a Senior Dance honoring the Seniors of the class of 1980. 34

New Paces New Faces Under the new reign of Principal Delekta, the students of MHS had a few more rules to live with. The closed-corridor rule was strictly enforced this year with a pass being the only way to travel through the halls legally. The parking lot became off limits to students during school hours and lunchtime. Finally, the students were asked to use the office window for their business instead of entering the room. Everyone was understandably thrilled with the new rules and was happy to have the chance to make MHS a more wonderful place to learn. Present to share the new enthusi- asm at MHS were our two foreign exchange students. Sandy Kondo came to us from Noshiro, Japan, and Udo Cegla from Hamburg, West Germany. Both stayed with the Zukas family. Both enjoyed their year In the United States and said they ' d love to live here. They liked Memphis and found the people very friendly. Although neither student will re- ceive credit for the year spent here, they both liked MHS. Udo found the students here more relaxed and the work easier than at his own school. 36
