BLACK CULTURAL ARE ESS CLUB A Vim! Pam' of a'zzmZi0n -Riba Kelsey, Vice-President The Black Cultural Awareness Club was started in 1983, by a group of five black students who wanted to have a group in which they could leam more about their African culture. They felt that the educational needs of Blacks concerning knowledge of their own history was not being addressed in the school. Therefore, BCA was formed in hopes of providing that most vital part of their education. In talking with some of the members of BCA, they all seem to BLACK CULTURAL AWARENESS CLUB -Row 1: Sher- man Iackson fPresidentl, Riba Kelsey Nice- Presidentl, Crystal Robinson Gecretaryl, Leslie Williams fTreasurerl.

Riba Kelse and Melayne Thomas in the BCA assembly. agree that BCA has made them have better respect and apprecia- tion for themselves and the Black Culture. BCA provides a common thread by which Blacks can come together and through its birth, the Black students at CAHS are more respected in an academic light. BCA has overcome some of its original problems. Where it started with only five members, it now has close to sixty, and rather than being ashamed to be called a member of BCA, members are proud to an- nounce their loyality. 94 ORGANIZATIONS: Black Cultural Awareness Club

KEY CLUB New to CAHS Family -Darlene Freeman, member The muffled announcements came over the loud speaker. There will be a Key Club meeting in room 112. But as usual, no one was listening. Hey! There's goin' to be a ski club meeting. Can't wait to hit those slopes! . Although several expectant skiers came to Key Club by mistake, they were not disappointed. Sponsored by Clintonville Northern Kiwanis, Key Club is the first service organization of its type to come to Columbus Alternative. The twenty members of Key Club par- ticipated in Secret Santa, collected items for the Clin- tonville food pantry, and volunteered in their respec- tive neighborhoods. Key Club's aim was the development of initiative, leadership ability, and good citizenship. As the largest service organization of its kind, it has over 110,000 members in approximately 3,500 clubs. Even though a few CAHS students may have miss- ed the ski slopes, the Key Club members still had fun while supporting their community. ORGANIZATIONS: Key Club 95
