arm edication Unifies Membership Clubs Labor against Clock to Finish By Priscilla Estrada Months of hard work filled the halls with blue and gold spirit. Members of service clubs and organizations volunteered their time in order to uphold a tradition. Behind each finished hallway there was usually a method of organization. Members worked on their decorations at meetings held after school hours and on weekends. Some clubs like Yahna Phi and the Thespians had committees set up to do certain decorations. Other clubs worked together as one large group to get the job done. We had many different committees made up of different members so that everyone was involved and participatingf, said Yahna Phi president Nicole Pruitt. Some hall ideas came on the spur of the moment. We had a meeting one day, and someone just came up with the idea of 'The Pride is Back' as our theme, said Blue Jackets president Claudia Potter. We all liked the idea because it included everything we did at school, said Potter. Reactions to seeing the finished product varied from club to club. Most V f 11573 , 'A H1 ui.

We were surprised to see what we accomplished by putting together our hall decorations in one weekf' said Doowtsae member Dawn Priegal. Money was a concern for some of the clubs. To pay for the supplies, we charged club dues of 155 for each member, said Doowtsae parlimentarian Leona Shipley. We had a lot of money left over from last year's activities that really helped us a lot, said OEA member Janice Vargas. All clubs were required to comply with the city fire code. The decorations had to be fire proofed with a borax solution because of the fire Eastwood had during Homecoming two years ago. Each club received a copy of the ingredients that were to be mixed to make the solution. Respraying of the decorations had to take place on Thursday Sept. 25 when it was determined by a local fire marshall that the clubs' Homecoming decorations did not meet the standards of the code. Once again the clubs came together that evening to respray their creations. Respraying the decorations the night before Homecoming was the absolute worst problem, said Anehta Sesea president Jinx Montano. All of the hard work that we put into the decorations was worth it,' said Shannon Flaherty. If not for activities like this, the kids would not be as spirited during Homecoming, she added. decoration of the halls 21
