STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT Because when a school claims to educate leaders, a true leader is by necessity a rare individual. But somewhere between the cam- paign slogans and cliche'd banners, a student body is faced with the choice of officers; bal- lots have been cast, counted, announcements have been made and applauded, and the new- ly elected are faced with the overwhelming task of planning a balanced, active school year. Stoically sprawled in a red leather chair in the new student body room, sleeping in Psychology, or lunching from a brown sack first period, Student Body President Richard Moore proved to have the leadership quality capable of molding 2,400 individuals into one united functioning body. Beginning the year with experiences gained at the Mill Hol- low Leadership Conference and Freedom Academy, Richard initiated the Council of Presidents of Granite School District, and in- stigated the Denver Exchange. Avidly con- cerned, responsive yet demanding, he be- came his own worst critic during the duration of his term. Not easily defeated, utterer of phrases that were unmistakeably Moore. Richard Moore—OHS President, 1968-1969. 24

Scott Ogden Vice President The morning announcer, the quiet unobtru- sive officer, who was innevitably there. He could be seen walking down an empty hall late after school, or driving around in a convert- ible blue V.W. Being a hater of spending money made him an apt budget watcher. A perceptive individual who could see both sides to a question. Dedicated, ingenuous personality, a thinker—a subtle dry wit that could ease tension in a word.ScottOgden - the adhesive force of the Student Officers. Karl Rove Senate President Munching Oreos or politicing, Mr. Karl Rove was a man of the people. He put the Olympian Senate into motion with his own characteris- tically well-versed arguments and witty com- ments. Talking, reading, talking, writing speeches, talking, talking, talking—sometimes brilliant, sometimes verbose. Coming or going, constantly on the move. A doer instead of a watcher; vitally concerned, ever-debating, a mighty funny, never-stopped-to-ponder kind of a guy. STUDENT BODY OFFICERS Mrs. Pat Farrell Advisor Dodging students to get into the student body room or energetically crusading for a new idea, Mrs. Farrell faced the problems of being Student Body Advisor with extraordinary empathy and open-minded pragmatism. A diplomat, a friend and companion; an easily excited, highly emotional person. She is successful because she remembers that she was a student once and she knows that students are complex individuals to teach; and to learn from.
