Student Senate Aims to Please When the i974 Student Senate met for their first meeting of the year, they set a goal for themselves. Their mission was to inspire class spirit and participation within the school. Under the competent leadership of senior chairman Dave Verdun, the 21 member council began to plan activities which would help make their goal a reality. Kathy Simms was chosen as treasurer to handle the financial end ofthe plans. Homeroom representatives were elected to improve communication between the student body and the stu- dent government. Soon after this, activities such as Homecoming, Movies, Fall Week and the candy sale started appearing on the agenda. The senate also spon- sored gym nights, dances atter games, spirit halls, the Student Talent Show and class trips. Let it never be said that this year's Senate did not do their best to achieve their goal and promote school unity.

Students Donate Time, Blood The Health Careers Club is made up of students who care and want to get involved. It's a service oriented club for both girls and boys who work at hospitals or nursing homes as volunteers. The Club, advised by Miss Beth Noble and presided over by senior Mary Jones, meets once a month. These meetings are held to discuss and familiarize its members about various aspects of health-related professions. The Bloodmobile was one of the services that the Health Careers Club, along with some students from Skill Center, helped organize. Evelyn Duso and Sherrie Krawiec headed the proiect. The students assisted the nurses and also worked in the canteen. As a result of everyone's efforts, the Bloodmobile received l 16 pints of blood - ci new record high for the city schools!
