Mr. Linscomb and Paula Moore listen while Leslie Marshall checks roll. 4 Rose Borel and Paula Thiede discuss customs and traditions with foreign exchange students at the TASC convention. Students from countries such as France, Greece, South Africa, New Zealand, and Turkey accompanied the student councils from host schools. Once every other week, members met to discuss student involve- ment, and tried to find ways to promote better relations between student-student, and student-faculty. The basic weakness is that no one is really concerned about tri-ethnic conflicts and problems, said sponsor Mr. Cook. A better understanding between people ot all races as individuals is a chief concern of President Hershel Pleasant, Vice-President Joelle Cruz, Secretary B. J. Phillips, and Treasurer Denise Moya. HB. J. is one of the most active members, said Mr. Cook.

F' f Providin Services Luv cl s. . g 5' . Ns,-M work hard raising S850 for a student from another country to stay with a Lanier family. fDenise Moya's will be the host family.j Only after an exchange student has been at Lanier for a year can a Lanier student go to another country. The cost for a year in another country is about 352,000 All the members had a fun but hectic time raising the funds through a weekly Penny Wednesday, a Talent Show, talent show assembly and selling buttons, The talent show was a large success - with president Ann Bar- ger working hard with publicity, chairperson Ann McCaffrey, and treasurer Jeff Hope to get judges and talent. The Anderson and San Antonio clubs were invited, and they brought their exchange stu- dents, A highlight in the show was a Japanese girl from Austin High who sang a Japanese song. We didn't JUST pick up trash! Ecology Club fought for our environment and encouraged others to make this a cleaner world. In our struggle we learned to be aware of our surroundings, the harm of trash and pollutants as well as the beauty of a sunrise or a playful squirrel. With the guiding leadership and determination of our sponsor, 4 To stan Earth Week off right, Ecology Club officers, Robbie Garland, Rose Borel, Debbie Rodgers, and sponsor Ms. Cooke present Principal Rodger Vthley with a cake bearing the Ecology flag. Earth Week was a fun time to make people aware of environmental problems and solutions. 5 Ann Barger, president of AFS, requests a one hundred dollar loan from the Student Council to buy a button machine for a fund raising project. As a new club, AFS was trying to raise S850 to bring a foreign exchange student to Lanier. Ms. Diane Cooke, who taught us not give upg we learned to work hard to better the environment, And we DID work hard, volunteering our time at the Ecology Action Recycling Center, working with the animals of the Humane Society and getting petitions signed to stop the slaughter of the baby harp seals in Canada. The main purpose of the club in being aware, and making others aware of just how important the care of our environment really is, said President Rose Borel. During Earthweek, we put our greatest effort into bringing the attention of Lanier to problems and rewarding experiences of our environment. We started with a campus clean-up, presented Mr, Wiley a cake bearing the Ecology flag in icing, and gave cupcakes to teachers. There was a display inthe library. Students and faculty were urged to ricle bikes, walk or car pool. The JETS won 2520 in a paper drive contest in the rain. We ended the week with a campout at Pedernallas Falls State Park, where we swam, built sand castles and roasted hot dogs under the stars. ln setting up tents, what began as the battle of the sexes ended up a unified group telling jokes and ghost stories. key, afs 81 ecology 127
