5tudents howing ervice Through leadership and involvement, students showed participation in community activities, pro- jects, and the concern of those in need. The great thing about these students involved in Mayors Youth Committee and Interact was that they were not in it to benefit themselves, but to benefit the community. Mayors Youth Commit- tee was an organized force for unifying the youth of Mesa by promoting under- standing and communica- tion. The group consisted of selected students from all the high schools in Mesa. The members were also re- quired to work on two ap- proved projects and attend a school board and city council meeting. Another service-minded group was Interact. Their function was not to raise money for the club, but for people in need. The first ac- tivity was “Pennies for peo- ple”, a class competition to raise money for needy fam- ilies. The members were also volunteers in the Mesa Fine Folk Festival. President Mike Morales stated, “Be- ing involved in Interact gave me a special feeling knowing we had so many people from Dobson that really do care about the less fortu- nate.” Design by Bernadette Spilo- tro.

Prinking riving irecting Two clubs proclaimed themselves as public service clubs and filled the role well. S.A.D.D. and the video club each grew and reached more students. Taping nearly all stage performances, plays, games and assemblies, the video club provided the students with a visual yearbook of the school. Compiling the best segments on VHS tape, the group raised funds through the sale of these “scrap- books.” Also in the public interst was S.A.D.D. In only its sec- ond year, the organization’s membership soared. They held assemblies throughout the year to broadcast their message not to drink and drive. Meeting with student leaders was another objec- tive. They felt that by reach- ing the leaders they could get the rest of the student body to follow along. After a year of being “too good,” both clubs will have tough tasks improving. Design by Chris Sar. Photos by Laura Dauis. ampus Activities
