The Homecoming Parade was a great way for the Student Congress to help spread schoof spirt Members Michael Goroff. Craig Shparago. Mika Aualin, Joel Meyers, and Corey Footlik waved from atop a doubledecker bus lubs Support Good Cause Though the two organizations are not affiliated, the National Honor Society and the Student Congress shared a common goal during the ’84-85 school year. Both groups worked to benefit others. The National Honor Society achieved this through its traditional in-school tutor- ing system on a student-to-student basis. The tutoring committee was chaired by Society member Adam Lashinsky. During the holiday season some mem- bers of the group visited children wards at local hospitals bringing small gifts and es- pecially high spirits. After the project sen- ior Rosy Aronson commented. “I really think the children enjoyed it. One even said. ‘This is so fun!' That made our day.” The Honor Society also worked with the Response Center to develop and sponsor workshops and focus groups. They formed a panel which spoke and answered questions of the faculty in March. This helped both the students and the faculty to understand each other and the stress that is felt from both sides. The Student Congress helped a charity through its school cause committee. Ac- cording to tradition the Congress raised money through a silent in-school auction. This year however, seniors Faryl Simon and Darcy Frank organized a live auc- tion which was held on a Saturday morn- ing and opened to the community. The merchandise was donated by community businesses and more money was raised than in previous years. Elected Congress officers also showed concern within the school as members of EPAC and PTSA. EPAC representative Aaron Weiss stated. “The committee is a direct link between the students and the school board. The reps in the group —parents, teachers, and students— consider each other as equals and the students are fairly represented.” Darcy Frank 24 — Student Congress - National Honor Society (below) Congress President Mike Aualin and Treasu Mike Schachter explained a new project to Congrt members Cindy Lu.

The club exists solely to fulfill the civic responsibility of helping others who are in need. This year’s activi- ties included a peanut drive, a bake sale, a paper drive, a bake-a-thon, and a round-robin racquetball tournament. The proceeds from these activities benefited such organizations as the North Shore Association for the Retarded, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Spastic Paralysis Foundation, the March-of-Dimes, and a local convalescent home. The senior offi- cers of this year’s Key Club are: president Stuart Bernsen, vice-president C.J. Ap- pleson, and secretary treasurer Adam Lashinsky. The main idea of the Key Club was best expressed by Adam La- shinsky who said, “The great thing about the Key Club is that we do good things for people and have a great time doing it! -Dennis Sanchez Key Club president Stuart Bernsen listens carefully to one of the member's suggestions Key Club-Academic Achievement Bowl
