ExQcutivG Council Pulling together for success by Linda Yokoi rom the horse-drawn F carriage at home- coming halftime to the departure of ac- tivities director Mr. Attebery, the 1984-85 Executive Council led a successful year. Throughout the year, council members held meet- ings with hopes of making the year an exciting and in- teresting one. Some activi- ties included Homecoming spirit week, sponsoring a family in need at Christmas time, the blood drive, and the famous donkey basket- ball game. I think we ' re very ac- tive, Vivian Bodrosian, sophomore president, said. We tried new things like having voluntary voting, and our homecoming was great. The success, some felt. was due to the leadership un- der ASB President John Cook. John gave his best to council. Other council members at- tributed the success of the year to the ability of the group to work as one. Ex- ecutive Council had a lot of unity this year which helped us to be successful in our ac- tivities, Tina Alaniz, ASB Secretary, reflected. There were many hard times, but we seemed to pull together, especially when Mr. Attebery left. He taught us to be hard workers but have fun at the same time. Even after adjusting to a temporary activities direc- tor, Mr. Franklin, second se- mester, Executive Council continued and finished the year. Even though we lost our activities director during first semester, Bedrosian said, council pulled through it and we had a great year. y Executive Council — Row 1: M. Cortez. T. Alaniz. L. Yokoi. J.

NJROTC Congress Reps and Cadets by Susie Arauz Oi rder! der! Please! ' ' This may be hard, but once order is es- tablished, the school ' s House of Representatives comes to order. Speaker of the House. Albert Lopez, commences the student congress meeting, getting ideas and suggestions from the representatives of the student body. The congressmen were student representatives elected by their third peri- od classes. These stu- dents were the most impor- tant tool Executive Council had to getting to the stu- dent body and we tried to use it effectively. stated Albert. Adding, They are really the only way we can communicate with the stu- dents verbally, not just through reading events through the bulletin. Student Congress worked toward having third period announcements over the public address sys- tem again. They also were consulted on new election procedures for homecom- ing, executive council, as well as the Ethiopian dona- tions. Providing a voice for the students, Student Con- gress worked toward the betterment of the stu- dent ' s position in the school. Navy Junior Reserve Off i- cer Training Corps (NJROTC) is a program de- signed to inform high school students about the armed services and to give the students a taste of what military life is like. They didn ' t spend their nights on a military base, but they spent their days learning about oceanography and how to march — Navy style. Once a year they go to a navy marine boot camp for one week. There, they attend classes on camou- flage, rifle, and team tech- niques. They also go through the agonies of the tough military style obsta- cle courses. As stated by Colleen Hinzman. Being in NJROTC is an opportunity that shouldn ' t be passed up. V § NJROTC — Row 1: J. Barahoua. H. Gutierrez. D Mendez Row 2: Hinzman. G Vargas. G. Gonzalez. A.
