GI RLS SPGRTS CLUB Girls sports club is one of the most active on campus. Usually about 50 girls compete in hockey, tennis, basketball, volleyball, badminton, gym- nastics, and softball. The purpose of the club is to encourage sports participation at Awalt and against other schools and to improve sports skills and to enjoy sports. The girls had a good season in hockey and did well in tennis. In fact, the Awalt tennis team came in first place under the instruction of Miss Bonnie Davenport. Some extraordinary events carried out by G.S.C. were a mother-daughter tennis toumament, a table tennis toumament, and a mother daughter recreaction night last spring. G.S.C. also puts on the annual twirp dance. S.Adamowicz, P.Austin. C.Belanger, N.Belan- ger, C.Billings, B.Bishop, K.Bishop, K.Bishop, S.Blair, M.Crespi, B.Curry, D.Dombrowski, J.

3 W if C Awalt's mighty French Club was a great success this year. It achieved its main goal, which is not the promotion of la culture francais, as believed by most people, but friendship. All members became good friends and had much fun together. And what fun there was! There was a wild pic- nic at Frontier Village with all you could eat and all you could ride for free, courtesy of the club's meager treasury. The first major activity at school was the Halloween Penny Carnival, designed to give the youngsters a treat. It was a great success, with a seemingly unending line of kids waiting to tourthe House of Horror. Towards Christmas the Club played a very active part in the Santa Claus Exchange program. A three week bake sale earned enough money for a huge spending spree to buy new toys for the needy people of Mountain View. The last major project of the French Club was their greatest: the Mardi Gras. Their third annual Mardi Gras was held in early March. Games, prizes and food were the trappings as merriment filled the air in this costumed carnival with a New Orleans theme. Such fun will never be duplicated! U The club relaxed for the remainder of the year more of its parties like the one they had at New Years. Beach trips have been planned for the summer. The French Club is open to all fun seekersg you don't have to know a word of French. Those who weren't members this year don't know what they missed. 157

POLITICS AND POP BOTTLE At Awalt, the Model United Nations is a club under the supervision of Mr. Jerry Bacon. Each year the members go to the Model United Na- tions Convention of acquaint themselves with parliamentary procedure and current world sit- uations from the point of view of the other coun- tries. At the University of California at Berkeley, ws hold meetings under the supervision of Univer- sity of California students and advisors from each high school. Member delegates from each high school are assigned to specific United Nations committees to deal with resolutions proposed by the delegates prior to the Convention. In the months before the convention, the Awalt Model United Nations Club prepared for the mass meeting by studing world problems through the view point of Norway. Though not an official part of the Ecology Club, the Recycling Center has done much to further the cause of ecological awareness. The Center was begun by Awalt students at 3311 Grant road on property donated by Mr. John Viscovich. George Kisler, Brent Lahner, and Barb Edwards serve as Manager, Assistant Manager, and Secret- ary respectively. The Center is open from 10-3 every Saturday and Sunday. Aluminum, bi-metal, and tin cans are crushed and sold to industry. Glass of all colors is sorted and crushed and also sold to industry. All proceeds are reinvested in the Center for im- proved facilities. The Recycling Center is a good example of what students can do on their own to help fight a na- tional problem.
