SAFE ©UAIRI9S Who was always there, ready to help out and make things look bet- ter or more special? It was the in- ternational service club called the Junior Civitans. Their activities ranged from helping pass out dimes during lunch shifts or pro- viding refreshments at faculty meetings, to cleaning trophies in the display case and cleaning blackboards in the subschools. To top off Homecoming week, they let off 500 colorful helium balloons before the game against Oakton. Outside school in the surrounding communities they were also very busy helping out with fund raising for the Association for Retarded Citizens, the Kidney Foundation, Easter Seals, and working with the Special Olympics. In May, they spent a weekend at Ocean City, Maryland for the annual Junior Civitan convention. The Junior Civitans made the year special by always being there when needed and were always ready to help out. “Being safe in what you did, was the easily transmitted idea from the National Safety Council. The service club which was organized to promote safety in the school and community made that point in all their activities. In October they made special trips to local elemen- tary schools to warn children about possible dangers on Hallo- ween night. Throughout the year they sponsored bake sales, a Safe- ty Week, and a Bloodmobile. To get the needed assitance in impor- tant projects such as the Blood- mobile, the Council attended County meetings once a month and state meetings in November. Whether it was safeguarding the school, traffic or community, the National Safety Council was on their guard to keep things running smoothly. Clubs 335

Krim; Reporter: Kim Baines; Rep.: Nancy For most people a family hour con- cerned sitting around the dinner table, watching prime-time televi- sion, or just doing things as a fami- ly unit. But deep inside the Home Economics Department there were two organizations that went beyond the routine family hour rituals. F.H.A. (Future Homemakers of America) and the H.E.R.O. club (Home Economics Related Occupations) gave all their energy, sunshine, and care to the school and surrounding com- munities. In the winter, F.H.A. sold caramel apples; in the spring, daf- fodils and bunny grams; and they visited orphanages and senior citizens homes throughout the year. For F.H.A.'s theme, ‘‘The Year of the Family,” they spon- sored parent-daughter banquets to form a more close-knit family life. H.E.R.O. club students were able to help with nursery teaching at the Lab School, give holiday par- ties for the children, work at a Familyfest, go applepicking, and visit the elderly at Christmas time. F.H.A. and H.E.R.O. clubs had their hands full making sure that everyone from a young toddler to a senior citizen, were happy. The events and activities of F.H.A. and H.E.R.O. definitely gave family hour a new meaning. F.H.A. Sponsors: Mrs. Sanders.

inuriiiLE PMN, 1AC, SQ, DA, 2NR! These were familiar initials to old members of the Debate Club, but to the newcomers who attended Mrs. Vicki Drinnon’s September debate workshop, these acronyms were part of a strange new language. The year’s debate topic, consumer protection, was new to novices and experts alike. The year wasn’t easy. The club sold cokes at soc hops to raise money. The search for new and better evidence was neverending. Boy, those ox boxes got to be heavy! All the ef- fort did pay off. Team members Mike Liess and Jonathan Massey demonstrated their superior debating skill at invitational tour- naments across the country. Their winning record made it the fourth year in a row that the Debate Club was number one in the Washington Catholic Forensics League which, of course, had its own initials, WCFL. Mrs. Dubin's political science class, as Mark Stadsklev considers a rebuttal. The fourteen members of the Forensic Society may have been seen mumbling in school but, dur- ing competition, eloquence prevailed. Competition took place under nine categories which could be divided into three groups: those which involved original composi- tion, such as Original Oratory, Ex- temporaneous Speaking, Original Works, and Impromptu Speaking; the drama catagories consisting of Dramatic Interpretation and Dramatic Duo; and those which in- volved the presentation of previously written works, including Prose Reading, Poetry Reading, and Declamation. As a member of the Northern Virginia Speech League, the Forensic Society was eligible to participate in ten tour- naments held at area schools. Less Intense than usual, Jon Massey resists the temptation to spread. DEBATE CLUB Sponsor: Mrs. Vicki Drinnon; Pres.: Jonathan Massey: Sec.
