Many members of the Ecology Club put many long hours of hard work into planting the trees and making them thrive. They planted a variety of trees which were donated to them by the U.S. Marine Corps. Trees such as lob-lolly, dogwood, pine, and black walnut were planted in various places on the school grounds. Other endeavors included a newspaper dumpster which was open at all times, a clean-a-thon held on November 22, a tree plant, and an earth week. On November 22, the Ecology Club members went out and collected 857 lbs. of garbage around the Lake Braddock area. Afterwards, they piled it up and put the garbage in trash bags and, as you can see, Susan Miller, Julie Bisone and Sharon Broaddus are doing just that. ubs and Organizations

After many hours of discussion and debate, the Debate Club prepared to compete in Northern Virginia tournaments. This newly organized club included high school students only. The intermediates discussed a variety of subjects which included capital punishment and other controversial topics, but the high school was limited to the National High School Question which was, Resolved; that the development and allocation of scarce world resources should be controlled by an international organization. By the end of the year, both groups felt they had covered all aspects of their topics. As 1976 rolled in, so did the Lake Braddock constitution. The student government finished and ratified Lake Braddock’s first constitution at the beginning of the new year. Among other things, the organization arranged an exchange day program between other Northern District schools, such as T. C. Williams, West Springfield, Fort Hunt, and W. T. Woodson. In celebration of the Bicentennial, the government organized a program which included invitations for congressmen and senators to come to Lake Braddock to speak about America and the Bicentennial. The student government set up for major school dances, Fall Festival, the homecoming court and class night, which was held January 22, and consisted of stunts and unheard of games, in which the classes competed against each other. Last, but not least, Lake Braddock could thank the S.G.A. for the WLBS lunch radio program which was arranged during the summer for the entertainment of the students during their lunch break.

If you listed every project and activity the Future Homemakers of America completed, you would have a list a mile long. Each person signed up for the committee she was interested in, which varied from picking apples in Winchester and making apple butter, apple jelly, and caramel apples to doing service projects for UNICEF, Muscular Dystrophy, and Headstart. As a Bicentennial project they served as guides, planted a herb garden, and served as hostesses at Gunston Hall during Christmas and Garden Week. Some of the members also adopted The Fairfax Nursing Home, and for every holiday did something special for the occupants. On Halloween, they dressed up and paraded for the elderly; and for Christmas, they brought 20 of the elderly people to our school to eat Christmas dinner. This gesture, besides their regular visits and other good deeds, brightened the lives of the old people. A member of FFIA, Jennifer Smith, escorts one of the residents of the club ' s adopted nursing home through the booths and stalls at Fall Festival. (Hubs .mil (hyanizalions
