Leadership Means Business h, the rigors of leadership. Being elected as a student govern- ment officer is no popularity contest here: it means work, and lots of it. Being an ASB officer means coming to school every day at 7:10 in the morning for leadership class and spending countless hours after school and on weekends making posters and preparing for upcoming activities. Sometimes, the pressure to get things done becomes intense. Homecoming week is one of those things that you are glad to see happen but even happier to see through with, said Activities Commissioner Staci Dunn. Staci should know: this year's homecoming week required over two months of planning and organizing for just six days of events! There are three student government organizations at Morro Bay High School, and all are vital parts of making things happen. Besides the Associated Student Body, which organizes the major activities, the class officers unify and try to prove that their class rules the school. When the seniors chose to have their yearbook pictures printed in color this year, the S1500 debt fell on the shoulders of Senior Class President Jimmy Avant. But thanks to his fundraising efforts, it was all paid. The link between the government officers and the students comes from the Student Council. Holding a meeting once a month, the members of the group approve ASB expenditures and inform their history classes, in which they were elected, of what is going on. Regardless of the position, being a student government officer demands patience, time, and effort. Commenting on his position as ASB president, Bob Baxley said, When it's after midnight and you're still cleaning up the dance floor, you really wonder why you do it. Page 144. 1. For Lisa Miller, being Treasurer means working every day during sixth period in the office pre- paring all ASB transactions. Sophomore Class Presi- dent Jane Tanner was a bit overwhelmed by all of her obligations this year, but she's proud to say it's all worth it. 2. Associated Student Body Officers. FRONT ROW: S.

AFS Brings The World To Morro Bay 1 ooking for the world? The American Field Ser- vice was created by volunteer ambulance crews during World Wars l and ll so that stu- dents could gain worldly experience by living in oth- er countries. Since then it has become very popular and has allowed 130,000 students to form global relationships. There are sixty-eight countries where the service sends students, but finding host families in those countries is often very difficult. Therefore, the choice is limited. Basically, students can only pick between going to Europe or the Southern Hemi- sphere, said the group's advisor Mr. Richmond. The country they go to depends on where a host family can be found. Junior John Hartwell left for Casablanca, Morroco, this year after several months of waiting patiently to be accepted. This year the Morro Bay Chapter of AFS was in- volved with several community functions, including their annual home tour. During the event, members gave tours of unique and very beautiful homes in this area. Every year it is a great success, and it's neat to see some truly spectacular houses right in our own town, said member Lanya Lamouria. Besides sponsoring community events, the club helps exchange students adjust to their new life styles. Funds raised over the year helped to pay for yearbooks, caps, and gowns for Stephan Goertz and Thomas Meier, as well as to help pay for club trips to Solvang and La Purisma mission near San Diego. Said the co-advisor Miss. Boomer, Even if you don't want to go to another country, AFS is a great club just to learn more about our world.
