To begin each meeting, members signed in to receive credit for working hours. Members were paid at a rate of fifty cents an hour plus commission. With the incentive of pay- ment, meetings usually had a very good tumout, said President Nicole Pennington. Although we did have to work, we still managed to have a good time and meet a lot of new people. Photo by Rosie Marquis. gfqf D7 'Iembers are: Qfront rowl B. Bhogal, N. Pennington. lsecond rowj J.

Tuesday evening corporate meetings were devoted to the assembly of products to be sold, guest speakers, and col- lecting stock money. Presi- dent Nicole Pennington organized meetings and acted as an overseer to ensure that everyone did his or her fair share. Vice Presidents of marketing, finance, produc- tion, and personnel all work- ed together to see that pro- ducts were efficiently produc- ed and introduced to the public. First semester JA members assembled first aid kits and sold for a 5'ZJ stockholer return. We learned a lot about how stock corporations work, said Junior Kulwant Mann. Tenneco sponsors Mr. Terry Eckels, Mr. Billy Mar- tin, and Ms. Christie Viands advised JA on business ethics, tactics, and strategies. Junior Achievement teaches you a lot about the real world because we do the same thing any million dollar corporation does, explained President Nicole Pennington. Written by Parrish Herbert.

OM members delved to discover their ingenuity through, creatively solving problems of many aspects with feasible, ordinary solutions, explain- ed Alan Thompson. Many, upon hearing the words 'problem solving' im- mediatley think of math and science, but as Jimmy Wong Liong quickly points out, OM solves problems in such areas as fine arts, physics, and even computers, along with, of course, the technical side of problem solving. Our group, called Bridging the Gap, had the objective of building a structure that would withstand a given amount of weight,', said Alan Thompson. In the Fine arts division, called Fine Arts Lives, students were to reproduce two works of Paul Cezanne and consruct a third one using his style. The Technocrats had the task of designing and mass produc- ing ten identical items and constructing a video presentation. Members fared very well at regional competition with Technocrats and Fine Arts Lives placing First, and Bridg- ing the Gap, third.

This might have been commonplace on a large group's field trip, but this was a relatively small group under the large name of Houston Area Model United Nations. Notes shuffling and paper flying, the students praticed speeches, and prepared their notes for the upcomming meeting. The club was given three countries, Nicaragua, Trinidad, and Tobago, which they had to talk about, and defend at the HAMUN meeting held on March 17th. Several topics were discussed, and students were given a chance to learn about the cultures, goverments, and problems of the world. At the conference, we were no longer ordinary high school students, we were the delegates to the United Na- tions. said Sophomore Hang Lee . This meeting was the highlight of the year. The group kept busy for the year by preparing for the big meeting, studying the plights of different countries, and learning the goings on of the real United Nations. During the year, the club picked up several honors. Their greatest was Eric Sims, and Lance Peterman being chosen as one of the five best delegates on their commitees.
