This group of students known as StuCo was elected at the be- ginning of the year and met fifth hour each day. The responsibility of plan- ning and organizing the events for the year fell in the hands of these stu- dents. The year for the members of StuCo began on August 19th with the annual leadership retreat. This all-day event was designed to teach the members of StuCo to work together in groups and to enhance their leadership abilities. The retreat took place at a confidence course, where students got to meet stu- dents from other schools, and learn to work together. I felt the retreat was a definite plus and helped us in many ways, commented Mike Scarpa. With the start of the school year came the start of StuCo's work.

The first event was United Way Week, which lasted from Septem- ber 30 through October 4. United Way Week gave students a chance to donate to charity. Along with donations, ac- tivities were scheduled for each day of the week to encourage more dona- tions. The week was packed full of events, including a car smashing event, StuCo made this possible by buying an old car. For fifty cents, stu- dents could swing a sledge hammer to take out their frustrations or just to smash up a car. Also that week, students were able to 'see the United States Air Force Band perform in the gymnasium. There was no admission charge but students were encouraged to donate money as they came and left the assembly. Computer dating gave students a chance to find their perfect match. For a dollar, students filled out a questionnaire which was fed into a computer. They received a list of persons with whom they were most compatible. Perhaps the biggest fund raiser for StuCo rounded out the week. As usual it was cold and muddy, but this did not stop students from buying tickets for the annual Iunior-Senior Powderpuff football game. The money raised from the sale of tickets and popcorn also went to charity. . . . continued on page 22 R.V.S.C.: FRONT ROW-Lisa Rahe, Katy Vielhauer, Karen Palitto, Lisa Dittman.
