Extra 5pecia The National Safety Council had an important purpose in mind when it was organized years ago and that purpose continued to be honored in the 1981-82 school year. The Safety Council’s message of “Safety First” was relayed to both the student body and faculty through verbal communication, handmade pictures of injured ted- dy bears, and professional Red Cross safety posters throughout the school. The Council was also instrumental in recruiting donors to the Red Cross blood bank. The Safety Council, and their sponsor Mrs. Hilda Hall, attended county meetings of the National Safety Council once a month to find out about new trends in safety educa- tion. At the end of the year, the Safety Council could be sure that the student body had benefited from their care.

Junior Civitan was a service club made up of high school students who cared about the welfare of the handicapped. This year they devoted their time to raising funds in order to aid the mentally retard- ed. During the holiday season, the Junior Civitans, in connection with their Senior counterparts, sold fruit cakes and donated the profits to the Northern Virginia Training Center. They also wrapped presents that were exchanged the Center’s annual Christmas p; ty. In addition, the Civitans he bake sales and car washes to rai even more money for the benefit the retarded. However, not all the Civitan's projects were fur raisers. Members of the club • ficiated and acted as “Huggers” the Special Olympics. In their o right, these energetic studer were special, themselves.

As their name implies, these peo- ple were students who were in- terested in the Republican view and who desired to learn the work- ings of the government. Taking ad- vantage of our location, the calen- dar of the members included talk- ing with Virginia's congressmen and meeting the President. Chang- ing the focus to within the Old Dominion, the Young Republicans traveled to Richmond with Delegate Jim Dillard during the year. Even staying closer to home, these members managed to fulfill their purpose by inviting some well known political speakers to lec- ture. If all these political and governmental activities sounded interesting, then membership in the Young Republicans was all that it took. The words of the president.

Discoverers Joseph Krutch said Science represents the world as Man gradually comes to discover it. The Science Club, Lake Braddock’s organization of prospective ex- plorers, was busy discovering the world while increasing their knowledge about it. The members of the Science Club used their background in physics, chemestry, and biology to explore organisms and chemicals as well as the stars and the universe. Seniors Mark Beebe and Phil Plait gave frequent lectures on the interesting features of the earth and universe. In February, club president Mike Thomas held discussions and demonstrations of computers open to the entire school. The members of the science club were explorers beginning their long quest for new discoveries. SCIENCE CLUB: Sponsor: Mrs. Price. Members: Mark Beebe, Nakul Jerath, Jim Lampton.
