Council Ranks 2nd in Qtate 491. That was the lucky number guessed by custodian Mr. Angelone in the Student Council Holiday Hap- piness game. The happy winner won the jar of chocolate kisses and $5.00. The remainder of the funds raised was donated to JFK hospital. A major organization, the Student Council not only held holiday flower sales for the March of Dimes, but also visited the JFK Hospital over the Christmas holiday. Elves and a Santa Claus cheered the children, not to mention the nurses of pediatrics. For the 18th year, the Council was recognized as an Honor Student Council by the New Jersey Associa- tion of Student Councils. The consist- ently high ranking of this group is based on a foundation of experience. Head advisor Ms. Kwiatkowski has been involved in the Student Council since she was a student at Sayreville High. Continuing her venture into school politics, she became a Junior Counselor in college. Mrs. Kratinski has also been a very effective advisor for many years. Her creative input has been invaluable to the Council's continuous success. The smooth running of our school government can be credited to the dedication of these advisors. This active association received a ranking of 2nd place among New Jer- sey's Student Councils. From its advi- sors to its student membership, there is no lack of enthusiasm.

Everything Almost Went... After a half-hour of havoc caused while the entire student body was crammed into the gym bleachers, the Student Council's version of Almost Anything Goes got off to a flying start. Beginning with the sack race and ending with the dreaded obsta- cle course, the competition marked the end of a week-long effort to pro- mote school spirit. Egged on by a twenty-five dollar prize, members of each class com- peted in the week-long Blue and Gray contest. Throughout the week, both students and teachers were seen wearing such garb as Mexican sombreros, bandana covered T-shirts and country-western outfits. The suc- cess of Blue and Gray Week was especially apparent on Friday when the vast majority of students dressed in their respective class colors and over 90% of the faculty wore brown. The seating problems which started off the Almost Anything Goes competition resulted in frayed nerves among faculty members and students, and caused questions over whether the assembly would be a success. However, these doubts were dispelled as soon as the contest got underway and the students reacted enthusiastically to the various events their classmates participated in. The highlight of the competition came about when referee Steve Medlin made a controversial decision and was hit in the face with a pie by an irate competitor. To the junior class the assembly was especially enjoyable as they won both the basketball throw and the Anything Goes competition. As one student put it, The assembly was not only fun, but added variety to the humdrum school life. 28 Blue and Gray Week
