Student Council was responsible for much of the school's development of academic, athletic, and social activities. As in recent years, Student Council represented the student body in school and extra-curricular activities. They ventured beyond their usual sphere of influence and participated in a state-wide conference held in Anchorage called the Alaska Association of School Governments KAASGJ, an organization that provides opportunities for the exchange of ideas in student governments. Selected council members, under the supervision of advisor, Mrs. Green, brought back new concepts to share with the rest of the council members. In its second year, Regional Student Council and West members Paige Wallace, Cheryl Looney, Delisa DeVargas and Jimmy Gleason, combines efforts for new regional input. Our active student council sponsored such activities as the Homecoming Dance, class hall decorating contests, the annual Fall Leadership Workshop, dress-up days, fund-raising projects, and a canned food drive. Student Council also took over the Keyhole, once operated by Keyclub, and renamed it the Munchbox. It provided the students with a wide variety of nutritious food at a low cost. Also they whipped up an inspiring theme: I can: you can: together we will, With increasing activities, Student Council proved to be even more helpful and led the student body at West through another exciting eventful year. 56 STUDENT COUNCIL Advisor Edie Green overlooks her productiv student council members.
