Leadership that works l Progressive, challenging, motivated, and yet, a group of friends, so diverse, working together, this was without a doubt, Parkway Central's stu- dent council '86f'87. The year began with much work to be done. Before school started, the council had their first meeting. The Fun Partyn officers separated the members into committees, with each committee having a task to complete before the end of the year. The 'Pride in Central Com- mittee,' which evaluated and found a logical way to promote school spirit, the 'Constitution Committeef which rewrote the Student Council constitution, and the 'Wall of Fame' commit- tee, which presented a plaque to the school, that included all of the names of the people who re- ceived awards on the all school awards night, were some of the committees student council ar- ranged. They were also responsi- ble for the new citizenship rule and the appeal board. lf a stu- dent received two l's or a U, he would be sus- pended from all school activities. lf hefshe want- ed to appeal this, then hefshe would have to confront the board with hisfher case, The council formed this board because they felt that if a student misbehaved in a classroom, then hefshe would not represent the school in activities. In September, the Student Council went on a 0 Student Life retreat. Here, the members went on a ropes and initiative course to unify themselves and grow closer together. Assistant Principal and Sponsor David Stauffer said, The Student Council re- treat provided members an opportunity to get to know each other, and to establish strong trusting relationships by working together to overcome Assistant Principal and Sponsor David Stauffer said, The student council retreat provided mem- bers an opportunity to get to know each other and to establish strong, trusting relationships by work- ing together to overcome stressful and demanding situations. stressful and demanding situations. Homecoming sweatshirts and tee-shirts were sold by Student Council, and were a huge suc- cess. ln addition, they sold PCH boxers. Fund raisers were again part of Student Coun- cil. The council sponsored a canned food drive and collected a record total of 11,538 cans. Also, the council had an all Parkway Cerebral Palsey dance-a-thon, which raised over 53,0005 students Awareness Week, presented topics of concern, such as AIDS, Bulimia! Anorexia, and teenage suicide prevention, was a success in itself. Over 5650, was raised through fund raisers for Chil- dren's Hospital during this week. A new program which was brought to Parkway Central was Stu- dents Against Multiple Sclerosis, or SAMS, which had three main events, the Rock-a-thon contest, the balloon lift-off, and the SAMS dance. Also, SAMS sweatshirts posters, and pins were sold. ln addition, Student Council and the PTO sponsored two blood drives which pr0- duced over 270 pints of blood. Student Council was a definite asset to Parkway Central, for it not only raised school excellence and student expectations, but also, helped others not as fortu- nate as they. i I I l i ,V In j,3lm 'i ai The Junior Treasurer, a The Sophor Tsai, Presid- The Freshm 'ln Stud fc fano .- .. :'.Y1aL,vf-' ii:-el'-f ' ' V ' V -Y-'M -L A-H P A ' U I .

An important aspect of varsity cheerleading: stressed sponsor Hank Jones. They must be unified as one in order to perform with per. fection. GIVE ME AN O-OUTLOOK THAT I5 POSITIVE! A good attitude is needed. GIVE ME AN L-LOUDNESS! In order to be rowdy and spirited they must be loud enough to catch the crowd's atten. tion. GIVE ME A T-TIME CONSUMING! The girls spend a full 12 months cheering. This includes summer practices, summer camp, practices during the school year and of course the games. GIVE ME AN S-SPIRIT! Most important they have spirit. It is this enthusiasm that makes the rest of the school spirited. This cheer represents many of the charac- teristics that it takes to be a varsity cheer- leader. Barbara LeCompte. co-captain Ste- phanie's mother, said, That along with these qualities Stephanie has developed many others during her four years of cheer- leading. Some of which are, enhances lead- ership qualities, sharpened decision making skills and improved self-discipline. A varsi- ty cheerleader involved everyone, including family, friends and students. Without the cheerleaders there would not be any spirit within the school. They can turn a dull crowd into a spirited group of Colts' fans, said Senior Lori Edwards. With all the time and dedication it takes cheerleading becomes a Way of life said Jones. Senior captain Julie Griesemer said, lt's a full-time commitment, but it's worth it. She would recommend it to anyone who wants to get involved and have a good time. Along with participating in the school, the cheerleaders form special friendships and close bonds. As Jones commented, lf the girls have tears in their eyes at the last game it has been a good experience and it has been worthwhile. --wer -M... 5 M33 ,sz V, gf Senior Kai Senior Ste two.
