gala uo llvwugk yew: Attention! Quiet Please! This week's student coun- cil meeting will now be called to order. The student council is the driving force behind San Benito Joint Union High School. These elected leaders represent our stu- dent body. Have you ever wondered what the student council does? These students governed our schools ac- tivities during the past year. President Alex Macias said that some of the goals the council had set for the past year were, to pro- mote student interests in school activities, arouse school spirit, and to get rid of double lunch. Some of these goals were met with such activities as the dating game, scheduled lip synch, and other B.L.T. activities. They also pro- moted athlete of the month, put on some school dances and ran the student store with the help of their Advisor Katherine Mook. Student council not only planned activities for the school but also for themselves. Earlier in the school year they had a pic- nic and a sleep-over in the school gym. They fthe activitiesj were basically just to have fun and to get to know everyone, said Senior Matt Tognazzini. Many of the council members attended a leadership camp last sum- mer. The August camp in Santa Barbara was put on by C.A.S.C. CCalifornia Associated Student Coun- cilsj and was designed to teach leadership skills and to help councils learn to work together. It was an excellent ex- perience and a lot of fun, commented Dr. Mook. Next year she hopes to get all council members to at- tend. . Student council also at- tended to the more serious student body matters. They approved fund raisers for other campus clubs and organizations, and helped Rally Club set up for rallies. They also played an important role in representing the Associated Student Body CA.S.B.J to the Board of Trustees on issues of con- cern such as the double lunch controversy. They appointed senior Dan Neff as Student Representative to voice the A.S.B.'s opi- nions and ideas on matters such as this. Student council was very busy this year fulfilling its goals for the benefit of the entire school. This meeting is now ad- journed! -Lisa Crump -Cindy Pidd 102 Student Council

'Slate aim Q PUPUWUU C6 a Well, I think marijuan should be legalized. I disagree. And so the debate goes at a Junior State Con- ference. Junior State, a non- partisan political organization, debates cur- rent issues such as the legalization of marijuana, capital punishment, abor- tion and mandatory drug testing. This year the club at San Benito High School has seen its greatest popularity since it began in 1980. It's really nice to see so many students taking an active part in current issues, said Junior State Advisor Louise Hall. The two main events Junior Staters from San Benito High attend yearly are the Northern Over- night, held evey November in San Fran- cisco and Spring State in Sacramento. The student organization gives students the oppor- tunity to meet new people and form new views about controversial issues. The Northern Over- night was exciting because I learned more about political issues, said Senior Vince Garcia. It was a good chance to meet new people and form new opinions, said Senior Sue Newland. Going to conferences is great. said Junior Denise Lopez. There is such a variety of things to do. Everything from nonsense debates to serious topics. This year's Jr State Of- ficers are President Alex Pitschkag Vice-President Alex Maciasg Treasurer Richard Pascualg Secretary John Passman and Sue Newland. - Matt Tognazzini 104 pam Sm Yes, these are our future politicians making a statement in front of our state capitol: fbackj Alex Macias, John Nolan, Matt Tognazzini, John Passmang Urontj Corey Tresidder, Dan Neff Vince Garcia. -lp lvl 1 f -xx Ide Frels concentrates on opening ceremonies while Marc Lottermoser checks out the people at the Northern Overnight in San Francisco.
