The Monacettes with their sponsor, Mrs. Sabo, had an ac- tive year. In addition to promot- ing school spirit throughout the school, the Monacettes, consist- ing of 3 sophomores, 6 juniors, and 6 seniors, attended the NCA Superstar Dance Camp held at the University of Rich- mond, and the Miss Capital City Competition in Baltimore, MD on March 4. Practices were held every Tuesday-Thursday from 2:00-3:00. One member had this to say about practices: “Hard work and dedication is what makes the squad look good. “We get a kick out of legs!” The “Chiefs Rock’’ on the Monacettes’ Homecoming float. 70 MONACETTES When the squad isn’t dedicated it shows.” The captain of the squad was Jennifer Morris, and Co- “‘The friends are . he irreplaceable. — Jennifer Morris Captains were Michelle Pearce and Carrie Calleran.

The Student Council Associ- ation, better known as SCA, ad- dressed school issues that direct- ly effect students, let the students voice be heard, and sponsored activities for student participation. Mr. Kenneth Butta was the sponsor of this club with approximately 25 representa- tives and officers. The officers included Amy Lynn Schmidt, President; Leann Scott, Vice President; Rita Narad, Secre- tary; and Chris Parker, Treas- urer. The SCA was involved in a variety of activities. At the start of the year the annual Freshman Social was held to introduce the Freshman to the world of High TZ SCA School. Once again SCA spon- sored the Homecoming Dance which rewarded us with a record attendance. SCA was also active in helping with the Stonehenge Run, Teacher Appreciation Week, and the fundraising for other clubs. For their own fund- raiser, though, the brown and yellow M M boxes surfaced to raise funds for SCA. SCA was once again active in community work. A blood drive was held to aid in the build up of Richmond area blood banks. At Christmas a canned food drive was held throughout the school to aid the homeless. All in all, with the help of its members, the students of Monacan;, the SCA had a successful year. Scott and Nadine enjoy the last dance.
