I A cting as a mediator - between the students and administration is the primary function of the Student Coun- cil, But, the council also I promoted school spirit and i contributed their services to I the community. There was a Blue Light ' Special dance where prizes I were given away when the ' blue light was flashing. Other activities included selling Valentine carnations and computer match-up sheets which showed everyone ' s 10 best matches in the school, It ' s fun to buy the com- pute r sheets just out of curiosi- ty to see who your matches are. It ' s not like you have to go out with them or anything, commented senior Kevin En- gle. Setting up a student bulletin board and providing two leadership scholarships worth $100 each were some other functions of the Student Coun- cil.
