Projects included setting up a file on colleges and scholarships which were available to students interested in food related careers. They also collected money for UNICEF and donated food to the March of Dimes Marathon. Mentally retarded and physically handicapped children were brought to the kitchens and members taught them how to prepare basic foods for themselves. The H.E.R.O. club visited restaurants and other food service facilities to see what their menu plans were for the Bicentennial. While keeping the mess to a minimum, Nancy Stahle prepares a pie crust for the football dinner which was held at every home game. Consulting the recipe, Julie Poreda, Don Wright and Gene Fitcher make ready the refreshments for Back to School Night. Preparing a quantity of apple sauce raisin cake, Tod Mitchell has time for a laugh. 54 Clubs and Organizations

The French Honor Society consisted of students with an A average in French and a B average in all other subjects. The club members went to French restaurants, such as La Caravelle, and ate roast duck and onion soup. During the Christmas season the club went caroling and sang English, Welsh, and French carols. Members of the society worked together in organizing and publishing a paper for the Foreign Language Department. A special Christmas edition was published which included French Christmas recipes, games, puzzles, and Christmas customs from other countries.

Il i III Over and under, around and through, flipping and bending, and winning! All of these characteristics could be seen constantly in the Intermediate Gymnastics Team. The members, seventh and eighth grade girls, were chosen in two shifts during the year. In the fall, a few girls were selected from the tryouts to be the foundation of the year s team. The girls with the best developed qualities and the most versatile talents started the team, and later aided in instructing additional members. The second tryout period in January gave interested girls a second chance to make the team and increase the team’s potential. The girls main function was to perform choreographed routines during the half times of the varsity boys basketball games. Their other activities included guiding new seventh and eighth graders through the school, assisting the varsity girls gymnastics team in their meets, and helping with a workshop for other gymnasts. In February, the girls performed an outstanding presentation at the Capital Center. They tied up the year in the spring with the County Intermediate Gymnastic meet and the third Annual Intermediate Gymnastic’s Night.
