Native Club Encourages Tradition Heritage Native Club ' s main goal this year was to get the students involved in their Alaskan culture and promote their tradi- tional heritage. It recognized native students through so- cial and recreational activities. The club promoted interac- tion with other NACC (Native American Culture Club) students within our school and with other high schools. The group offered support to members in obtaining an education. Entering its fourth year, NACC sponsored the Alaska Native Olympics. Some of their fundraisers for this year were selling buttons for the Native Youth Olympics, and seUing candy. This year thirteen people joined. The appointed officers were: President — Shannon Taylor, Vice-President — Vcrna Jenkms, Secretary — Athena LaTocha, Treasurer — Lornoa Jordin. The sponsor Margaret LaTocha re- marked, Although the club is small, the students are m- volved with it and can enjoy what they do. She added that the club was open to all students and that it planned to enter some students in the Native Youth Olympics next year. It was an honor to represent the Native Club for the year of 1985, stated Shannon Taylor. TOP RIGHT: Getting advice from an advisor. Soraya Taylor listens care- fully.
