LAST WA-HI EXEC COUNCIL STRIVES FOR EXCITING YEAR This being the last year for Washington High School, the mem- bers of the Exec. Council decided to highlight the year with unusu- al activities, to make it a year to remember, stated fall student body president Marci McIntyre. To welcome the faculty back to school, the Council sponsered a continental breakfast, September 6th. They also helped the teachers prepare their classrooms by carrying books ana arranging desks. As a final treat, each member of the faculty got their car washed free. One activity that was regenerated was the Big and Little Siblings program, for upperclassmen and freshmen. A get acquainted pic- nic was their first activity to help the freshmen get to know more about Washington. A car wash was held, September 18th, to raise money for new furniture for the Council meeting room. To help promote good relations for the Washington-Monroe merger, the Exec. Council sponcered a Wa-Mo Lets Get Together dance. The dance was a success held in Washington gym, for the first time in six years. Because of this, no hard soled shoes were allowed and there was a shoe squad to take care of the shoes. One special attraction was a light show which had not occured at Wash- ington before. Tickets for the Wa-Mo dance were sold at Benson, Monroe, and Washington. One reason for the successful year was due to teamwork, but the Exec. Council also had excellent leadership from fall student body president Marci McIntyre and Cathy Benton spring student body president. They introduced many new ideas and worked well witn everyone. Before the school year, Cathy and Marci each spent separate weeks at the Oregon Leadership workshops to prepare themselves for their duties with new ideas and much confidence and spirit.
