Under the leadership of president Jen Wang, Student Council held a series of Open Forums to provide students an outlet through which students could voice their concerns. T his year, Student Council, Class Club, Pugwash, SADD, and Key Club all accom plished a whole bunch. The Student Coun– cil tried to receive more input from the student body with a series of surveys aimed at making student council a better organization. It also spon– sored a couple of dances and activities such as the Res Life Party which was a great success. In addition, several open forums were held to hear everyone's opinions on certain issues that have risen during council meetings. The Class Clubs we re successful in their fund- raising endeavors for the always expensive high– light of senior year: Prom. Sophomores earned a lot of money working at the concession stand. Juniors gained money from selling flowers and candygrams for finals, Christmas,Valentine's Day, and other holidays. Seniors worked hard to raise money with vending machines and one of the biggest events of the year, the Staff Auction. SADD also did a lot this year. With the tragic death of former IMSA student Elizabeth Sawczuk in a car accident due to drunk driving of the other party involved, the club did its best to inform students of the terrors of driving under the influ– ence. It sponsored a bonfire during the week of Home comi ng and sold flowers during Home com– ing and Winter Formal. It also contributed money towards a dedication to Elizabeth. Lastly, Key Club accomplished a great deal also. It sponsored several activities that gave back to the community. First, there was a toy and cloth– ing drive for the Hes sed House. The club also sponsored a cocoa social and rang bells for the Salvation Army during Christmastime. Meanwhile, the 30-hour famine also occurred in order for students to raise money for starving children in Africa, India, and many other parts of the world, in– cluding the United States. 174 ^^iuU
