k Link to Power With the beginning of a new school year came a new Student Council with ambitious ideas. Some members attended the high school Regional Student Council convention in Osseo and came back with improvements such as parliamentary procedures.

Vandalism and the food issues were brought to the council by the Faculty Senate for their view point. To help students having trouble in class, Student Council instigated a student aide program.

One goal of the cheerleading squad was to get everyone involved in some sort of school activity. Sponsoring and raising money for a Sadie Hawkins Dance, and selling Park Spirit” t-shirts, was their way of starting off the year. They dotted the school in their orange and black uniforms reminding people of a game to be played later that day. Painting signs to inform people of the week ahead and cheering at pep tests were other ways that they instilled a sense of Park spirit in all.
