Student Council Provides Activities Mr. Kessel felt this years Stu-Co was more active. An idea that won many votes from both Stu-Co members and students was putting clocks in the halls. Unfortunately the convenient double- faced clocks were not available. Stu-Co sponsored homecoming dances for football and basketball, a spring sports dance, battle of the ages, powder puff football game, blood donor day, and slide programs. Stu-Co also gave candy canes at Christmas and redecorated the Student Lounge in blue and white. However, surveys taken of 311 grades revealed a resentment from many students who complain they never knew what Stu-Co was doing for them. hhStu-Co is not a governing high school organization. Its primary purpose is providing student activities, t, Mr. Kessel reHected. He went on to say students cannot expect Stu-Co to provide them things like a smoking room or an open lunch; the board ofeducation takes care of those issues. Samatha Masters, president of Stu-Co, pointed out that Stu-Co tried to keep students informed by going to 4th hour classrooms once a month and hanging up agendas on bulletin boards. Mr. KesseI added that many students missed out on learning what Stu-Co was doing by ignoring the announcements and teasing the repre- sentatives reporting to classes.
