Profile: The Leader Visualize a god sitting up on a throne above all the meager human race and you will approximate rather than exaggerate the image students picture when the ASB President's name is mentioned. Talking with Jeff Gordon, however, helps to de-mythify the person from the title. Jeff works closely with others and has the ability to discuss things with an open mind. He feels that he was elected president because he had simple goals, goals people could relate to When Jeff was asked what he enjoyed most about his presidency, he replied I especially enjoyed the chance to work with people and the administration and getting to know new people whenever I had the opportunity.

All of the reports were sent to the members of the accreditation committe, who had a month to study them before visiting San Marcos. After its visit to San Marcos, the committee sent a final report to the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, which makes the final decision. The importance of accreditations is indicated by the fact that most colleges will not even look at a student's transcript unless he comes from an accredited high school. ln the past, San Marcos has been accredited for the maximum five years. This year was no different, as the school received a five- year accreditation and many compliments.

possibly, were times when I felt I had to set an example for others, since I was presidentg I felt they expected it and it really got to be a drag. Most people seem to think, contrary to what Jeff says, that he does not act out a part to fit a desired mold. He is serious about his job but finds time to play around with friends. Jeff has always been able to get where he wants by hard work and determination. If he wants something worthwhile, he persistently works hard until he achieves it. As examples of his honors, Jeff was picked by the' Exchange Club as Youth of the Month and by the Elks Club as Teen of the Month. Jeffs determination and dedication are the result of setting high goalsg being ASB president, working actively in on and off campus organizations, and remaining an academically minded student. As a long time member of the National Guild of Piano Musicians, Jeff excells at playing the piano. He also devotes time to being captain of the San Marcos varsity tennis team. Jeff hopes to get into a law school where he will further his education after he graduates. He plays to become a lawyer and someday become involved tagainj in politics. . - 1 1 p l Brian Frick Richard Fultz Mike Funkhouser Andy Galbraith Irma Garcia Lesli Garcia Natalie Gardner Mark Garza I Mike Gellenbeck Connie George' Dan Gibbs Terri Gillaspy Tracy Gillaspy Jennifer Gilmour Lori Gipson Kevin Goodman SENIORS I37
