Did you think you would join another club just to get your picture in the yearbook one more time? Well, the American Field Service (AFS) and the Spanish Club were not to be joined unless students were really interested. Celebrating 25 years of ser- vice and activities, AFS kept a busy schedule throughout the year. With its sponsor, Mrs. Marilyn Cobb, AFS became in- volved soon after school got into full swing. The club deco- rated a float for homecoming and captured the first place prize. Knowing how the student body enjoyed getting to know exchange students, AFS spon- sored four foreign students, the most ever. In order to introduce them to other students, AFS held an assembly in which each exchange student gave a short speech about his country. Holidays were busy times for most clubs and AFS was no ex- ception. Each member was giv- en a secret pal to whom he wrote letters and sent notes. Then at the Christmas party, held at Lonna Herronen ' s house, they each gave their pal a gift. At the Christmas assem- bly in the gym, the club led the student body in singing Ru- dolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Money raisers filled the sched- ule as the club prepared for a Christmas trip to Disney World If joining clubs for attention, Think Again in Orlando, Florida. Bowls of chili, selling for $1, warmed throats at the homecoming football game. The club also raf- fled off a stuffed dog and a game football. Students left on December 27 and returned De- cember 30, enjoying four fun- filled days with their friends away from hectic school days. Marylon Hand commented, We all went on a bus; we had a lot of fun just being together. At Easter, the club helped the Baldwin County Shriners, who sponsored an Easter Egg Hunt for disabled children in the com- munity. The members made Easter baskets, hid eggs and helped fix hotdogs at lunch- time. As an annual event, the group attended AFS weekend in Cullman, Alabama. This gave the students a chance to meet other AFS students and ex- change students from different schools. Another club interested in dif- ferent countries and languages was the Spanish Club. On De- cember 20, the club sponsored the first Christmas Prom. They spent seven hours decorating the gym in bright red and green. Leslie and the Hound Dog, from WABB, provided music for the evening as the club crowned Mr. and Miss FHS, nominated by seniors and voted on by the teachers. A Christmas banquet was held in December in the cafete- ria. After 6 weeks of practice, the club sang Spanish Christ- mas Carols, performing for par- ents and friends. During the year, the club raf- fled off a teddy bear, selling chances for $1, and held a bake sale at Ratcliff Village during the Shrimp Festival. The mon- ey raised from these projects went toward an annual scholar- ship, which was awarded to Cheryl Russell for outstanding senior Spanish student. On May 9, the club spon- sored Teacher Appreciation Day, and that evening in the gym they held a Beach Party Dance. To close out the year, the club held a spring banquet. A guest speaker was invited, and the club honored senior mem- bers and gave out special awards. With the help of sponsor Ms. Jo Solorzano the club ' s year was filled with activities. They kept busy with dances, fun- draisers, and meetings. Both of the clubs showed the school ' s interest in different lan- guages and cultures. They en- abled the students to under- stand and familiarize themselves with people and places from around the world while staying in their own com- munity.

By improving mathematical skills, students are opening Doors to numbers Numbers were the key for both Math Club and Mu Alpha Theta members. Although the Math Club was called a club, it operated more as a team. The team had no civic functions or fundraisers, nor did it have offi- cers. The simple purpose of the math club was to practice and prepare for the numerous oppo- nents at competition through an average of five practices dur- ing the year. The first competition was the Faulkner State Math Competi- tion held on Saturday, March 22 at Faulkner State Junior Col- lege (FSJC) in Bay Minette. Here the math team members competed against other high school geometry. Algebra II, and advanced math students. The competition consisted of two areas of testing, a two hour written test, and a ciphering math test of speed and accura- cy which allowed 90 seconds for each of the four team mem- bers to answer four problems. Although none of the Foley stu- dents placed, sponsor Mrs. Pam Hand said, Foley did consider- ably well. David McRae, in ge- ometry, scored only one point less on the written test than the high scorer. On April 5 the geometry team went to the University of South Alabama (USA) for the Alabama Statewide Mathemat- ical contest. Once again the team did not place but faired well in competition. The Alge- bra I class had only one chance to compete against their peers at the Gulf Regional Mathemat- ics competition on April 26. Mu Alpha Theta was a math honor society open to juniors and seniors who met the high academic standards in math. In order to be invited to join the club, a junior or senior had to be in Algebra II or advanced math at the time and have an over-all 3.0 GPA in all underclass math courses. Generally, the stu- dents in Mu Alpha Theta were the people involved in Math Club. Even though the Math Club and Mu Alpha Theta were not active, as far as fundraisers and community projects, they stayed busy preparing for actu- al competition.
