REPRESENTING THE STUDENTS Involvement. Dedication. Hard work. Collaboration. These are just a few of the words that describe what it takes to be a Student Council mem- ber. Student Council , according to ju- nior representative Eric Halamka, is representing the school body. We are the student body ' s voice. We demand more rights, influences, and responsi- bilities in this school ' s actions and functions. A student council member has many duties, such as attending meetings and functions, serving on committees, taking feedback from fel- low students, and setting a good example, stated council president Michael Sullivan. One of the main responsibilities of student council is to help other organ- The Freshman and Sophomore members of Student Council were: (Top) Jennifer Adams, Angie Parmann, Jason Wiegand, Kerri Brenton, Monica Briggins, Steve Smith, Andrew Burgess, (second row) Amy Hall, Heather Hall, Doneka Scott, Daisy Freeman, Lynette Sassanella, (bottom) Heather Frame, Jenny Fleishman, Samantha Harris, Dalynne Goodwin, Nicki Lathrop, and Jennifer Ward.

This is usually done by fund raisers, and the council has found that a dance seems to be the most effective way of raising funds for an organization, although Student Council does need its own funds and sponsored four dances this year. Sometimes, however, the council does use other means of raising funds; for instance, the spring magazine sale. The money was used to purchase landscaping materials for the school, such as the trees for the front of the school and in the courtyard, and the two wooden fences on the 24th Street side of the school building. Something new about Student Council this year was the addition of the new Director of Student Activities, Mr. Robert Verran. This was Mr. Verran ' s first experience as an advisor for Student Council. He says that he likes to run things by committees because they run smoothly and efficiently, and that his goals for the council are to change its di- rection by helping other students ' organ- izations get what they need by serving all P.H.H.S. groups. From committee work, to ticket tak- ing, to ballot counting, to setting up for dances, to setting a good example, the P.H.H.S. Student Council members worked to represent the student body. Discussing the sale of a magazine subscription are Wendy Koglin and Dan Kilbourne. Wendi was also in the NHS and Dan had Skill Center as part of his schedule. The magazine sale ran for two weeks in March. 1 8 Student Council
