High School student counc'1 p;nning ahead
By Ted Hyde
EXETER - With the upcoming
municipal election promises on the
way, it seems fitting to look back
and reflect upon past elections, the
promises made, and the results of a
certain election - that of the 1991-
92 Student Council at South Huron
District High School.
One soon realizes, that after
speaking with this year's council,
the days of promising a student
lounge, convenient lockers, and the
famous "real toilet paper" are gone.
In fact, it has now become popular
to mention that you cannot provide
these to the student body.
"I didn't make any promises,"
stated Jeff Sweitzer, president,
"Jenny's promises were a little off-
the-wall, I'd say - no quiz days
from Lyle Little...give me a break."
Despite the sarcasm, the group ap-
pears to function well together.
"We know what works and what
doesn't," replied Becci Farquhar,
Athletic Chairperson, when asked
about what was planned. However,
as Jenny Wareham, vice-president
puts it, "this is a month -by -month
thing that we're doing."
Parents, as well as students will
remember the numerous almond,
orange and other financial cam-
paigns of the past.
This year, "a new and creative
thing", as treasurer Jodi Becker, de-
scribes it, is the introduction of a
discount card. "The fund raising
campaign this year has been really
successful," agreed Wareham.
The card which is supported by
17 Exeter merchants, gives the
holder a minimum of 10 percent
off, and -is valid for one year. SW
dents are selling the cards for a
price of $8.00. "It probably will be
their major fund raiser," remarked
Farquhar.
When asked about their image,
Becker jokingly replied, "We have
none." On the more serious side,
Wareham added, "Image is some-
thing you get from the school, rath-
er than from student council...it
isn't going to come from what the
seven of us do."
Contrary to belief, the council
has little control over student ser-
vices - including the toilet paper.
"If toilet paper means that much to
you, then you're weird, and I don't
want to share a washroom with
you," recalled Wareham from her
campaign speech. "Everybody
could just bring their own," com-
mented April Lewis, secretary. This
last comment spawned mutual
agreement from the group.
"People mistake us as being like
gods," remarked Sweitzer. "We
don't have any control over the ad-
ministration," continued Wareham.
In that case, what dotheyhave
-control of? "Fun stuff," piped
Wareham, "assemblies" added Far-
quhar, "extra -curricular things,"
concluded Sweitzer. The last re-
mark on the subject was made by
Farquhar, "(to) basically entertain
the school."
With all of the confusion and
misidentity, one may question the
reasons for becoming a part of the
council. "It's a lot of work, but it's
going to be worth it," Farquhar stat-
ed. Sweitzer added, "The experi-
ence itself will last throughout your
life...It teaches you...dedication."
