F.A.A.D. Features Drug- Free Fun This is the second year that Falcons Against Alcohol and Drugs have been a school organization. It was a very successful year. Judy Zervas and Dave Swanovich, the advisors, are very proud of the students in F.A.A.D. who support each other. Many groups of F.A.A.D. students spoke to younger stu- dents in other District 281 schools. They also spoke to some P.T.A. groups as well as being involved in a drug-free contest sponsored by the Minnesota Vikings. The members of F.A.A.D. enjoyed being Alco- hol and drug free together during this past year. F.A.A.D.

Student leaders Sandie Showalter, Stacy Harwell, and April Moyer lead the meetings by encouraging and welcoming all ideas.

Student Council This year presented many challenges for the newly formed Student Council, which had only four re- turning members from last year. Along with this large change of members, a new advisor and a new principal were brought onto the scene. The first challenge that faced the council and Mr. Corcoran this year was the incoming Freshmen and Sophomores, which made over half the students new and unfamiliar with its ways. To make the transition easier the council conducted an extremely successful orien- tation. The main goal for the Student Council was to establish themselves as a channel of communication between the students and the administration. Another project included the Sno-Daze pepfest and a spring festivity in April. This year ' s focus was to integrate the council into the stu- dents ' concerns, and setting up next year ' s council for the ' 89- ' 90 school year. Row One: Kaia Moquist, Marc Hartle, Andy Toering, Will Prigge, Robyn Fredericks.
