BBYO is divided into sub-sections: AZA for boys and BBG for girls. Each week these various chapters meet to listen to speakers and plan upcoming events. The groups hold activities almost every weekend, activities which fall in one of five categories: religious, social, athletic, community service, culture or Judaism. Some of the activities include dances, football and volleyball games, and trips to Prescott and California. x V ,A , W Sale profits are counted by Sheri Mussman. Junior Achievement Junior Achievement is an economic education program in which high school students organize and manage their own business companies with businessmen overseeing them. The organization is divided into companies which each produce and sell different products to the general public. The students sell stock in the beginning of the program in order to gain capital for their businesses. After the 13th week of the program the companies sell everything they have produced, pay wages and any extra profit is paid back to the stockholders. Junior Achievement gives students a better knowledge of how to relate with people in a business nature. Young Life Young Life is a national Christian fellowship program for high school students. The major goal of the group was to give students the opportunity to learn about Christian living. The Central Young Life group held weekly meetings where they sang, played games, performed skits, and listened to speakers. The group also held weekend activities such as frisbee- golf, football and basketball games. In February, the club went to Purgatory for a three-day ski trip. Students also planned to attend a Young Life Camp for a week in the summer which was to be held in California. Participating in a game, Kelly Smith throws a pie at another member of the Club.
