Class Officers Share Responsibilit Throughout the year classes are called upon to organize and work for events such as Home- coming and other special projects. Leadership and enthusiasm are what it takes to get it to- gether, and this years officers had both. T Frosh President Tom Wilson worked with Vice President Brian Rolfson, Secretary Tracy Ad- kins, and lTreasurerl Chris lHogue to make their first year a great success. Sophomores went far under President Mark Crubrud, Vice President Ryan johnson, Secretary joan Larson and Treasurer David Anderson. Humor and hard work were combined by junior officers, Mark Ziegler, president, Becky Hanstad, vice president, Kim Crawford, secretary, and Val Taylor, treasurer. Making the most of their big year were senior class officers, john Van Pelt, president, Fred Knutsen, vice president, ' Peggy Wetsch, secretary, and julie Walker, treasurer. More than once, it was up to elected class officers to prod their classmates on when en- thusiasm wavered. Thanks to the strong guid- ance they provided, funds were raised, activi- ties were organized, and each class enjoyed a productive year.

It Takes Man to Make It Go Legislation and the representation of students were the primary concerns of the MVHS Sen- ate. Nearly thirty student senators partici- pated in daily business meetings where legis- lative bills dealing with improvements and changes of the school were debated, passed and failed. Patterned after the national legis- lative body, the Senate provided great first hand experience in the processes of Demo- cratic government. Senators learned to write bills, procedures of formal business meetings and the art of compromise. The efforts of Vice President jeanne Cushman and advisor Dave Cornelius made Senate one of the best learn- ing experiences MVHS had to offer. In addition to legislation the Senate fostered school spirit in ways not earth shaking, but vital. The group sponsored a Homecoming float, officially commended the Homecoming committee, and provided entertainment through films and assemblies. Seven judges selected by President Mark Lange and the Senate made up this year's judicial Board. To these people was delegated the responsibility of interpreting the MVHS constitution and deciding cases concerning violations of it. Chief justice Roger Valentine headed the Board composed of judges Nancy Brummitt, jeff Harris, Mitch johnson, jean Larson, Martin Speedy, and Silvia Torres.
