aku- ' L.. -Q. an you fake me fo your leaders '7 Leadership is a special quality in a per- son which enables him or her to delegate responsibility outline objectives and hopefully make the work fun. As presi- dent of the Student Council this year Chris Chiaro demonstrated leadership ability as shejust described it. By delegating respon- siblity the Executive Board namely Chris Amy O Brien tvice-presidentl Jean Bran- dolini tsecretaryl and Tricia Bonito ttrea- surerl expanded the Council from thirty- six to approximately sixty members in or- der to get more of the school involved. They invited each club in the school to select a representative to attend each Tuesday s Council meeting. Standing Committees whose members are appoint- ed for an entire year, were also chosen. For these committees, a chairperson was no- minated and selected by the Executive Board and asked to choose a committee of her omm for a particular event. Each Chair- person of Events then became a Student Council or StuCo toften mispronounced as stucco. You know the type of plasterl member for the rest ofthe year. The execu- tive board hoped not only to delegate re- sponsibilities bythe establishment of com- mittees tsuch as publicity and assembly committeesl but also to spark more girls interest in student government. One very important Standing Committee initiated this year was the Sunshine Com- mittee. Maria Antonucci was chosen to be Chairperson of Events. The group ren- dered such spirit-building services as an- nouncing birthdays during assembly giv- ing birthday cards and decorating lockers for special occasions. Involvement breeds leadership ac- cording to StuCo advisor Sr. Carol San- sone. Student Council generated involve- ment and demonstrated leadership throughout a very successful year. , , I .. . , ,, , . .
