The Student Council moved forward this year. We brought new ideas into the school, and the whole Student Council worked together to make each activity work, said Tina Bona, president. The SCOT officers brought the clubs together by establishing monthly meetings with all club presidents. At these lnterclub Council meetings, new ideas were presented and any prob- lems a club might be facing were dis- cussed. This was the first year lnterclub Council was introduced and it was very effective. lt brought the clubs to- gether and made them realize that to have a successful school year we had to work together, stated Kris Lovell, SCOT historian. Not only had SCOT tried to bring in new ideas, but they still kept with the traditional ones. Some of the activities were Homecoming, Christmas tree sales, and the American Cancer Soci- ety Bowl-a-Thon. lf an activity works, then stay with it. lf it makes the club money then why change, and that is what Homecom- ing and Christmas tree sales did for SCOT, stated lvlrs. Sharon DeVer- anez, sponsor. SCOT was a strong leader in the school and made Thornridge show its spirit through all the worthwhile activi- ties that SCOT sponsored. ,.V!V J i , 1 M ,,.
