Lively Council Sponsors Junior Olympics, Patio Young student representatives of Student Council became deci- sion makers as they updated the dress code, got an estimate of, and worked on getting the student patio. For money making projects they sold popcorn which they made with the recently acquired popcorn machine. They also sponsored Lick-em Day in which suckers were sold and eaten in class to boost spirit for the Marana game that night. They sold helium balloons at the homecoming game. Most of the money earned will go to the patio building fund, AFS, and various other council projects. Meetings were held every first and third Thursday in the Biology room. Once a month they were held at 8:00 and were open to any interested student or faculty mem- ber. Students were encouraged to come and present all their ideas.

Girls’ League Sponsors Annual Formal, Elects Clubs Officers When the new school year be- gan the Girls’ League Council was able to immediately start off their activities with the selling of sodas at football games. Christmas cards and programs were also sold for money to finance activities such as a weekend trip to Phoenix on the twenty-eighth of April and also the annual formal. After much de- liberation, Candyland was chosen as the theme with American beau- ty and pink being the colors of the affair. This holiday event was held during the first part of December. At the year’s end Girls’ League members elected their officers so that the coming year will start off without the election of officers. The club’s meetings were held monthly on the second Tuesday. The meetings also had a speaker. HARD WORKER? Rhonda Gibson sells hot coffee to spectators at football game.
