The Woodward debate program ' s ex- tensive recruiting four years ago cumulat- ed this year The team, led by senior members, Marc Bessho, Paul Raines, and Rex Reeves, reached heights never be- fore achieved by a Woodvward Academy Debate Team. The members fought to a region championship and placed in the State. Outstanding affirmative debater for the team was Paul Raines, while out- standing negative debaters were Marc Bessho and Rex Reeves. Besides being outstanding debaters the team members were also successful in individual events. Rex Reeves captured several championships in extemporane- ous speaking while Bessho, Raines, and Frank Gomez placed in the same compe- tition. Warren Smith excelled in original oratory. Under the knowledgeable guidance of Mrs. Cleo Hudson, this year ' s debate group matched the record of Woodweird Academy ' s championship team of 1969. I think this group of men has demon- strated the kind of spirit and dedication necessary to win a region championship. said Mrs. Hudson.

I S.H.S. Being a member of the Spanish Honor Society is an achievement many Wood- ward students have earned. According to the society ' s sponsor, Mrs. Jill Nunez-Ma- son, students must have had an overall C+ average, a B or better average in Spanish, have an outstanding conduct re- cord in order to be selected for member- ship. Chosen students participated in a formal initiation that included the lighting of candles and the repeating of an oath. Throughout the year, the Spanish Honor Society participated in activities such as hearing guest speakers and dining in Spanish restaurants. The society also held an annual Christmas party at which a Pinata and other Spanish related gifts were raffled off. Refreshments were also served. Officers for the club included Presi- dent, Paul Raines; Vice President, Lynn Finley; Secretary-Treasurer, Bill Lam- bert; and Chaplain Patricia Saker. According to Starr Barron, It ' s an honor to be a member of a club, the caliber of the Spanish Honor Society. Their participation was outstanding this year. Students with an A or B average who are enrolled in upper level French courses, third year and above, may be selected to become members of the French Honor Society. Activities for the Society include eating at French restau- rants and visiting French bakeries. The French Honor Society also enjoys con- versing in French and learning about french customs of the past and modern day practices. Members of the Society appreciate the opportunity that they have to learn about and understand an- other culture. F.H.S. :£ LEFT TO RIGHT: Mario Levis, Chandra Stephens, Paul Raines, Li!

S.G.A. The purpose of the Student Govern- ment Association is to represent the stu- dent body and to present their ideas to the Woodward administration. The SGA, by submitting bills to the administration, is a way through which students voice their opinions. The legislation of the student government association this year includ- ed bills working toward greater Senior privileges, the suggesting of possible uni- form changes, attempting to make Gold and Silver Eagle awards cumulative and trying to boost school spirit. Members of the S.G.A. also worked with the Parents Club as part of the standing committees. Together, the two groups reviewed var- ious aspects of Woodward life in order to suggest needed improvements. The Student Government Association also participated in numerous activities during the 1980-81 school year. Besides enacting legislation, members also partici- pated in collecting money during Yellow Ribbon Day, helping PAL with its Christ- mas activities, and holding an exchange program with members of SGA at Arling- ton School.

Because they are students themselves, the Honor Council understands the pressures and problems of students and is able to deal fairly yet firmly with cases brought before the council. The Honor Council deals with cases of cheating, lying, stealing, and vandalism and may impose punishments of demerits and detentions or reccoment dismissal to the administration.
