Customar Traditions Discovered by Clubs This year the Russian Club and its twenty member group attended an array of activities both at school and away. They included the Traditional attendance of the Portland Russian Orthodox church Easter service and their annual Russian Banquet where members and families brought food customary of the Russian people. The advisor of the club, Ms. Merker, made a tour of the Soviet Union with several students from C. R. in the 1972 summer which was not only educational but also one of day to day survival. With the money that was made through many fund raising activi- ties, the club purchased a Russian egg painting kit. The process is called psanky and takes many long hours to complete one egg. Many of the eggs are considered family heirlooms and are passed from one generation to the next. The major purpose of the Russian Club was to leam the culture of the Russian culture and to better understand its people. The presi- dent of the club was Cheryl Kelly. Within Spanish Club, effort was made to make students more aware of the culture of Spanish speaking countries and their citizens. The club members helped in surrounding elementary schools in Social Studies classes when Central and South America was being studied. Heading the year's activities was a dinner in Portland fol- lowed by the show, Man of La Mancha. Spanish Club was a partic- ipant in the foreign language week-end retreat. Money raising pro- jects aided in the rental of Spanish films and donations to A.F.A. students. Officers for the year included: President, Margaret Coppleg Vice-President, Karen Kellyg Secretary, Patti Schleing Treasurer, Terry Webb. -M.. .,L, i vw C w'tf? s 1. - T s as X , i . it 1, - ' T TM ' T 3 . au ti, gg. ,. isitugggykw W, b .

HEALTH CAREERS: Mrs. Kessel, D. Arnold, M. Copple, D. Hardin. Community Services Are Sought by Clubs Health Careers, formerly known as Future Nurses of Amer- ica CFNAQ, strived for community service as volunteers at Van- couver Memorial Hospital. Each girl put in spare time after school for two hours once a week. As nurses' aides, the girls ran errands, fed patients, made up beds, and filled out forms. Such training is valuable to young women seeking a career in nursing. Future Business Leaders of America is a national organiza- tion on the high school and college level. FBLA held a con- stant stream of sales, benefit activities and get-togethers. Mrs. Stands and the twenty member club gained outstanding success in the many fund-raising activities. They visited several busi- ness colleges and places of business to help the students gain better understanding of the true business world and jobs availa- ble. Several scholarships and awards were given in the spring. The officers were: President, Kathy Brooks, Secretary, Sharon Fredrickson, Treasurer, Robyn Windler and Historian, Karen Lauber.
