According to Mr. MacPhearson, leadership workshop guest speaker from Frankfort, Kentucky, everyone has these problems. Stik With It was the theme of his speech and ele- phants were a symbol of things that grow into big things that a person needs to get done that haven 't been done. Mr. MacPhearson made it clear that doing away with these elephants would help a studentis organization. He even went to the extent of us- ing a toy elephant that he threw over his shoulder to symbolize getting the elephants out of your life. Student leaders attended a differ- ent type of workshop than in the past years. Instead of the students breaking into groups they stayed to- gether as a whole and listened to speakers. Jacquie Eastman, student council president, opened with a short speech of how the leadership work- shop was put together. Mr. Martin Kane, principal, spoke of the schools excellent leadership ability. Mr. MacPhearson's entire pro- gram was on the topics of time man- agement, better grades in time man- agement, planning in time management and organization in time management.

RHS Student Are SLIC by Cyndi Maxwell A strong leader has the following qualities: initiative, enthusiasm, in- tegrity, the ability to accept respon- sibility, and the ability to relate to group members in a positive, moti- vating way. Inter-Club Council members were striving to possess these qualities. Student Leaders Inter-Club Coun- cil KSLICI was formed this year with the purpose of bringing the various clubs of the school together. The purpose of the council was to.' 1. pro- vide information to help a student improve their leadership skills, 2. to provide leaders with an opportunity to exchange information, and 3. to provide leaders with opportunities to communicate with the RHS administration. The club meetings were held the second Thursday of every month for a half hour. The format of the ,gwr , monthly meetings consisted of a ten minute presentation on a special top- ic, ten minutes of sharing between designated organizations, and ten minutes for discussion and concerns. The speciHc areas the SLIC group focused on were: planning and run- ning a meeting, motivating club members to participate in the organi- zation, effective use of communica- tion skills, planning projects, time management, getting organized, and creating school and class spirit. The meetings went well and I feel its super that all of the clubs in the school were working together for a common goal, commented Melisa Volpe, a student leader. The council was a great way for students to share and express ideas, commented Mrs. Emma Owen. This yearls council worked so well we will deHnitely have another one next year. IN TERCL maart.
