Depending solely upon their fundraising projects, Stratford Student Council organized many of the schooI's most important dances. These included the junior and senior proms, and the Homecoming Pep Party. We started our plans for the prom a year in advance trying to find that special place, said Brigid. We had to consider price, location, and the sound system as well as the atmosphere. Senior Class Secretary Julie Gilmartin commented, There's a lot of hidden costs that you don't expect. In four years we saved S7,000, and we needed every penny! special projects For this reason, the sophomore class decided not to have a junior prom. Sophomore Class President Hogie Joseph added, The majority of the sophomores would rather have a really nice senior prom than to spend an excess on their junior prom. Funds for all dances were decided on a year in advance with the approval of the principals. Because we could only have two fund raisers a year, explained Junior Class Representative Ernie Segundo, we had to choose one that we were positive would bring in large amounts of money. Fund raisers included student buses to away games to finance the Homecoming Pep Party and Fieader's Digest magazine sales to raise money for the sophomore class. With selling, planning, and numerous other duties, Stratford Student Council members dedicated many hours in order to complete their projects. Senior class representatives met almost every Tuesday night trying to perfect their prom. I ln a more serious tone, Mr. Bonnette and Student Council President John Saad ask the Student Council mem- bers to volunteer themselves during lunch to accept applications from potential Student Council officers.

Working hard was a pleasure for Student Council members. While organizing the dances for the student body, Student Council President John Saad said, I tried for Student Council because l wanted to serve the student body. But I think the students don't know just how much we can do for them. All they have to do is ask, and they'Il get it. 1 ff' .1 ,,-fQx student council 61
