Wlvwwwr' Group projects benefit community Field trips such as the one to Richard Bland College provided a break in the school's routine and furnished new and interesting in- formation to Science Club members. The club combined education with extracurricular ac- tivities. Though small in membership, a busy year kept the members and sponsor of the club occupied. Consisting of students from the tri-city area, the NLA provided its members with the oppor- tunity to remain informed of student activities in the surrounding areas. Proiects such as sponsoring a clean air week, a speaking con- test, and an anti-pollution poster contest ex- hibited what students working together can accomplish. Representing CHHS in the Miss Christmas Seal Contest was Debbie Gering, who was second runner-up. Other NLA pro- iects included an ecology drive and an anti- smoking week. I.

Students contribute imaginative talents The Art Club provided the student body with the opportunity to try out its own artistic abili- ty in the traditional Art Club Pumpkin Carve- In. Each participant carved his pumpkin carefully and as fast as possible. When time ran out, all waited impatiently to find out whose pumpkin had won a prize for being the best one in its category. With the combination of creativity and lots of work, Art Club members adorned the office windows with Christmas murals. Many students stopped to praise and look more closely at the unique ways in which the murals were constructed. Never ending practices after school each day marked the beginning of the Drama CIub's enthusiasm and interest in the coming year. Each member had to work hard and cooperate with everyone else in order to assure success in presenting the plays. After the performance of each play, the various ac- tors and all those who contributed to the play's performance were rewarded with applause from their audiences. 1.
