Rebel Reps Busy Student Council Works to Build Spirit F rom MASH to candy canes, the Student Council members were involved in projects throughout the year to promote school spirit and coordinate the activities of clubs and other organizations. l'm very proud of Student Council this year and the Southside student body as a whole, for their support and dedication, said James Horn- sey, president. I don't think I could have picked a better senior year if I wanted to. The Student Council, which con- sisted of 24 members, 8 from each class and two officers, purchased a speaker system to improve hearing at pep rallies. Student Council is great, said Miss Sue Watts, sponsor. We had a lot of great accomplishments this year. According to Miss Watts and other council members, other projects that went off well were changing the con- stitution to no semester elections, giving a candy cane to each student at Christmas, and producing a very successful MASH homecoming. I think Student Council had a good year, said junior member Phillip Plunkett. I enjoy being on the council - you get to work with some really neat people. The 1983-84 officers were James Hornsey, president, Caroline Thomp- son, vice-president, Kay Stipe, secretary, and Honey Huckelbury, treasurer. Being elected president of the Student Council is easily one of the most important things in my life, James said. The job held a lot of responsibility and work but I can't think of anything I had more fun doing.

Top Job Senior Council Provides Leadership Success is a word which seems to be associated with the Senior Council. From the Southern Belle Pageant to the final preparations for prom and graduation, the senior class proved prosperous in council activities. The council brought 81991.89 from the sophomore and junior years. This was combined with the senior earn- ings in preparation for prom. Ap- proximately 85,000 were earned on the Southern Belle Pageant alone. The pageant went great, Steve Litzinger, Senior Council president, said. I feel it was the most suc- cessful pageant ever. More money was made than in previous years. Winding up the pageant, Southern Belle Calendars were sold later dur- ing the year. They were purchased for two dollars each. A new feature was added to the calendars this year with the selling of birthday ads. Students' birthdays were included in the calendar for the cost of one dollar each. Southern Belle was very suc- cessful and the crowd was very ap- preciative of the production, Rob Janes, senior, commented. A new money maker was included in the Senior Council's activities this year. The council served at the Sparks Employee Appreciation Ban- quet in September, along with Northside. Each Senior Council received S750 for its efforts. The dinner worked out very suc- cessfully, C. Ray Baker, Senior Council sponsor, said. The Annual Senior Variety Show was held in April. Students par- ticipated in many types of enter- tainment. Msg! I 6 5 ,- 4 f et 3 0 Wlfdltwtf Senior Council officers Steve Litzinger Brett Alberty emcee the Southern Belle P89 eant.
