Student Government Bottom Left: Student body officers build a pyramid during the school picnic. Included are Mark Hart, Randy Bennett, Dan Roth, Dean Petty, Julie Lanham, and Sal lie Heins. Top Right: Student body officers take time off to pose for a picture in a tree. The word enthusiasm could be used to describe the student body officers at the beginning of the year. Many students felt that the gains made in student government were slight, but the year did have its good points. A wide variety of assemblies ranging from musical groups to political speakers were provided for students. More bike racks were put in and the milk price was returned to 50. These issues are not as big as the open campus or smoking issue, but some students felt that they were important too. The school picnic proved to be a success and new student body officers were formally initiated as they served. 92
