Fiesta spirits run high despite rain O verwhelming response to the homecoming spirit week brought about a second week-a spring spirit week to celebrate fiesta. Student Coun- cil promoted enthusiasm among the student body hoping that the participation level would be that of the fall week, if not better. By popular demand punk rock-n-roll day returned, bringing with it leopard tights, exotic hair styles, and glitter accents. Other dress styles used to bring fiesta week to life included favorite sport day, fiesta day, and All-American day. Students were to dress as designated for each day while at the same time were given ample opportunity to participate in a variety of activities. Among the festivities, the student council con- ducted a compatibility survey. Each student, who chose to participate, answered the survey questions during third period, leaving the answers up to the computers. For Sl, the print out provided a list of the applicants most compatible with you. A pie walk was scheduled to break the monotony of the lunch routine as the dunking booth would have. The over- cast clouds finally broke loose only to force the booth out of the festivities. Tentative plans were to reschedule, but due to the hustle and bustle of end of school activities it didn't prove possible. Viewed as a whole, the week turned out to be most successful. Melissa Hardin summed the week up when she said, lt was really a good idea except that the weather was bad and some tghings had to be can- celled. Other than that, I think everyone had a good time.

3 Siiqfig sf, ix gi .- Wiiics . I . While I technically lost the Stu- dent council presidency election, I think that in many ways l won a much bigger victory than did my op- ponent. I won a personal victory of which I am very proud. I proved to myself that I could run against a very popular candidate and, through my own skills, give her a run for her money . I entered the election with feelings of pessimism and reluctance and emerged with a feeling of op- timism and a sense of real accomplishment. I hope my campaign will en- courage others to run for office. All too often the best leadership re- mains hidden within students too afraid of defeat. As a result, we often see offices and entire elections go virtually unopposed. This is a shame. Remember, anybody can win. Do not be afraid of defeat for you are never so near to victory as when defeated in a good cause, H. W. Beecher. Scott Foster H321 Frosh lead at polls As the summer months rolled around the familiar routine of ending another school year was upon us. It was once again time for attending the various banquets. We celebrated Chucky Cheese style to nice dress with a San Francisco atmosphere. Awards were presented to students for outstanding achievements and accomplishments. Tish Bugg, who ll to select next years officers. election. Tracey Jehl was only one of the 40 percent who turned out at the elec- received the HECE Outstanding Student of the Year award, felt excited, nervous, and embarrassed. I was embarrassed because of the picture taking, but the excitement was that of being chosen by my fellow classmates to receive the awards. Another event that had to take place was the elec tions. With time running out, next year's leaders had to be selected. Speeches had to be written and approved but most important they had to be given. The elections turned out to be a positive event with the exception of the junior class. The future seniors and sophomores showed more interest in electing their leaders. The junior class needs to follow their exam ples , stated Mrs. Lou Williams, student council spon sor. The parents in turn needed to follow the examples of their kids. The students are doing better at voting than their parents, stated Mr. Mike Watts. Afterall 40 percent voted in the spring election compared to the 26 percent of their parents who voted in the general Kristi Webb Randy Tuning had a hard time keeping his eye on the speaker at the spring sports banquet. Sophomore, Melissa Hardin seems to be the topic on his mind. ci g 285
