On campus Nunez served as president of Tokay's active Latin Student Union. He was first elected to the post when the club began two years ago, and was re-elected to serve for this year. But his leadership didn't stop there as he also served as president of the Stockton League of United Latin American Citizens ILULACI youth council. LULAC is a national organization which aids un- derpriveledged people and the hispanic community. As president, Nunez said, My duties are clear-cut. I run the meetings and help organize everything. Nunez praised the organization but revealed that he would not run for re-election when his term ends in September. I really feel positive about the organization, he explained. But I want to go to college. If I do, I won't have time for LULAC. Nunez was also a member of Stockton's Otea Maranatha Polynesian dance troupe. 1.

1 . Fingers flying, senior Cathy Ramos communicates With her hands by using sign language for the deaf. Ramos learns sign language to help deaf communicate Sign language and patience helped senior Cathy Ramos work with deaf children at Camp Pacifica Deaf Camp. Ramos learned to sign by taking some classes with her mother and from her younger sister Dawn, who is deaf. Ramos first became involved in the camp four years ago when her mother signed her up to be a volunteer. For three years, Ramos has been a counselor in training, acting as a translator between campers and counselors. Last year, despite her young age, she became a regular counselor with the responsibility of supervising activities such as swimming, archery, and overnight hikes. Ramos hopes to be able to continue being a counselor because it's fun to work with the kids. I try to make sure they all have a great time because I know it's hard to communicate without hearing, explained Ramos. Next year, she hopes to attend Sacramento State University to pursue a career in audiology and speech pathology. Ramos also enjoys water skiing and drama. She is also in- volved in the San joaquin Coimty Parents of Deaf Children Club. K Seniors 223
