Hodnett Fills In Class Jan. 28, 7971 - Relieving the minds of many stu- dious chemistry students, President Ray Hodnett began the iunior class meeting with the announce- ment of the cancellation of Mr. McDonald's anx- iously awaited chemistry test. Immediately fol- lowing, Steve Morse, yearbook editor, related the distressing financial situation of the Sandpiper. Ray Hoclnett then urged that the class buy a one- hundred dollar ad. which he proposed should be dedicated to Brian Finn. Ray also discussed various other topics of inter- est. He reported the class's amazing response of sixteen cans for the Thanksgiving Canned Food Drive. fSee page l74j. A new fund-raising proiect was proposed, selling a slide show about the guid- ance department. It was announced that 352,963.00 was in the class treasury, but after all bills were paid Ray ex- pected a net profit of 351 ,400. Three proiects were responsible for so much money: the sale of poly- fluff, the rock concert, and pretzel selling at basket- ball games. A maior topic of discussion was the iun- ior prom, which was to be held May 7. Geri Burke was announced as head of the prom committee, with Sarah Biser as decorating chairman, Nadine Sloter in charge of bids, and publicity, and Victor Donofrio in charge of foods. Other prom issues were to be discussed after school. At the close of the meeting, Mr. Rizzi explained the function of the National Merit Testing to be held on February 13.

Seniors Display Disunity Jan. 28, 7977 - Over three hundred seniors filed into the auditorium to discuss, debate, and de- velop a workable program of festivities for the end of the year. The Thursday meeting was highlighted by the frankest exchange of views to date on every- thing from peace to the Prom. Treasurer Mike Softcheck opened the meeting with a plea for more funds, citing the fact that the Senior Class had only 352,800.00, an inadequate amount for Prom and Graduation expenses. Presi- dent Robin Rose announced results of the dinner survey, through which a maiority of Seniors re- vealed prime ribs to be their first choice on the prom menu. Frenzy characterized the meeting when a variety of arguments on the relative merit of caps and gowns at. graduation was discussed. Several claimed that the money normally allotted for the rental of the above could be better spent on chari- table contributions. Others challenged the traditional nature of the Senior Prom, alleging that its formality is stifling. ln response, a motion was offered by Ricky Jones to supplant the formal dinner with a rock concert. Mark Hlatkey suggested the class sponsor an infor- mal dinner with a combined performance of local bands. lt was finally decided to submit these pro- posals to a vote in the senior homerooms at a later date. The lack of time prompted President Robin Rose to defer any further discussion to night meetings. LEFT: President of the Junior Class, Ray Hodnett, addresses class members on current issues.
