EMBERSHIP Has Its Privileges ------ OroaruMlions 04 Everyone has something for which he can take credit, and Santa Teresa's organizations give students the opportunity to get the credit they deserve. Whether it be music, cheerleading, speech, stu- dent government, or business, there is always a club or organization to join. A person might join a club to exercise his talents, to compete in his field of expertise, to learn more about something he is interested in, or to have a place where he can be- long and where he can make friends. All kinds of students join organiza- tions at ST. Athletes might join a cheerleading squad or the Ski Club, scholars might join academic clubs such as the California Scholarship Federation or the National Honor Society. The French Club and Span- ish Club are both examples of spe- cial interest clubs for anyone. Band and Dance Team are organizations for students with talent to exhibit. Santa Teresa's organizations ac- commodates a wide range of inter- ests and needs. Many of them have accomplishments to take credit for such as the Future Business Leaders of America who annually place in the top five in several business com- petitions, the International Relations Club who qualify to go to New York each year, or the ST Choir who were organized this year by Miss Shea. Every organization has an accom- plishment or goal that gives them a special pride. With any organization that a per- son chooses, membership always has its special privileges. By Shelley Woods.

LEADERSHIP They brought you Spirit Week. They organized Homecoming. Who were they? They were ... The Ruling Class ho was the ruling class of the school? Who was the mysterious force that produced all school ac- tivities? Does Associated Student Body (ASB) ring a bell? President Andrea Hillis defined ASB as student body representa- tives. We organized activities ac- cording to the wishes of the stu- dents. The ASB executive council con- sisted of eight ASB officers and all class officers. Besides the president, ASB officers were vice president Aaron Danzer, secretary Kathryn Rupprecht, treasurer Michelle Chappars, commissioner of athletics Jason Rolling, commissioner of spirit Michelle Geringer, commissioner of publicity Lisa Sevcik, and chief jus- tice Jim Linford. They worked on many of the school events by separating the council into committees responsible for one event. Once a week they met Taking an interest. Freshman president Tamara Hauser browses through the many booths at Club Interest Day. Although this is her first year at Santa' Teresa, she has shown much enthusiasm for the school. She believed, This year was one of the best years for the freshman class. We had a great deal of spirit and participation in activities. Photo by Teressa Lin. Organizations 106 in the principal's conference room to discuss these events. A typical meet- ing would run as follows: Andrea Hil- lis would subdue the rest of the coun- cil. Next, each committee would re- port on its activity. Usually a heated discussion of problems would follow. The council would solve them by compromise. Occasionally a new idea or complaint from a student would be introduced and discussed. Several activities went through this process. Some of these activities were organized by the following people: Homecoming by Andrea Hillis and Michelle Geringer; Club Interest Day by Aaron Danzer; the Winter Ball by junior class officers Robert Grocock, Kelly Travers, and Desiree Chamlis; most of the rallies by Andrea Hillis or Michelle Ger- inger. Some students had an opinion on the organization. Senior Lisa Latron- ica commented, In the past our ASB has not been real good. This year's ASB was doing a better job in their attempts to do more interesting ac- tivities such as the Winter Ball. Another branch of the ruling class was the school's supreme court. The court justices were James Linford, Renata Zaliznyak, Michael Hyde, Mi- chele Ramos, Salvador Prizarro, Ka- linda Ukanwa, Gretchen Williams, Daryl Bryant, and Alison Killebrew. Michele Ramos enjoyed being a member because it gave me a chance to work with people whose leadership qualities I really admire. The ruling class of 1988 had in- deed infused fresh ideas and abun- dant energy into the school year. By Kalinda Ukanwa.
