There were no autograph hounds milling around in the foyer. There were no students who were forced to roam the halls incognito. Although these are all sure fire signs of a celebrity there are other foolproof methods to determine whether or not there are celebrities among us. Did she sometimes appear at school with the initials WK printed on her sweatshirt? Did he strangely disappear each Tuesday afternoon? Did she seem to be a veritable fountain of informative trivia and seldom asked questions? If so, he was not only a celebrit but also a member of Whiz Kidls. The Whiz Kids were an elite Y group of students that scanned their brains each Tuesday afternoon in an attempt to outsmart the competition. Thanks to Katie Eklund, Susan Alexander, Charlene York, and Chris Brown our teams did just that the majority of the time. Beginning with their first match at Dallas Baptist College, in hich they defeated Clark High School 325-145, the Whiz Kids were climbing the ladder to success. The second match of the season pitted our team against Boswell and was televised on Channel 83 thus began the stardom. Many scrimmages followed, out of which the team won all but two, being defeated both times by Southwest. Added to the list of credits was the Richland tournament, in which they topped all six opponents and swept the meet on our home turf. Perhaps calling the Whiz Kids celebrities is exaggerating a bit. Perhaps calling the Whiz Kids celebrities is exaggerating a lot. However, it is not an exaggeration to point out that any students who put in such long hours of studying the sometimes monotonous questions and using their knowledge to the fullest are definitely stars. -julie Richards.

During this cam , the officers were split into different groups. This allowed the officers to meet other leaders from different Student Councils. During the sessions, each group was to prepare a different task to perform before the whole group. Also planning sessions were held for the major events such as Homecoming, dress-up days and community activities. One of the main tasks of the Student Council officers still remains. The Constitution of the school has been outdated for several years. Within the Constitution, there are specific rules governing the Student Body. It consists of qualifications of who can run and serve as officers and re resentatives. Nevertheless a er the Constitution has been revised, it must go before the School Board to be approved. During the course of the year, the Student Council officers are responsible for different endeavors. This consists of keeping the marquee and calendar up-to-date with the activities of the week. Plus the officers meet with the representatives monthly to keep the Student Council informed on the different activities. fcopy continued on page 134.5 Yac.
