To help other environmental groups and concerned citizens buy the Wild Basin, a preserved wilderness area, we had bake sales and sold candy, Tupperware and litter bags. Our nature hike took us to Bastrop State Park where we were exposed to Nature's peace. Every Tuesday the Ecology flag was flown as a reminder of the weekly paper drive. On weekends, we gathered for campus clean-ups. After our labor, we refreshed our- selves with trosted rootbeers at ASW. We realized our efforts were not in vain. Our love, care and understanding of the natural environment would not end with the closing of the school year, but live on with us forever. The objective was to be a doctor, nurse, paramedic or any job connected with health services. The Paramedical Club encouraged students and gave a better understanding ot health care. Dentists, physicians, and nurses visited the club to teach. First quarter President was David Yero and second and third was Lisa Duet. Field trips taken were to an emergency care center, a paramedical station, and to a model city clinic. The club didn't just work for themselves. They held fund-raising

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

NHS commissioned JETS to make a sign that had the school fight song on it. For the counselors and principals, the club made nameplates. They also drafted and constructed the Vikettes' com- posite. They designed the maps used by the student council. To raise money, they had a paper drive and an assembly with a guest speaker to get students interested in engineering. Learning about teaching was the major purpose of the Future Teachers ol America QFTAJ and the Teacher Experience Pro- gram QTEPJ. Sponsor and teacher of the program, Ms. Dolman, stressed the importance of learning what the teaching profession is all about before its members made final decisions to pursue it as a career. With a fluctuating average membership of nine, this busy, hard- working, fun-loving group believed in community service projects, giving Christmas baskets to needy families and sponsoring an Easter party for the mentally retarded citizens of the Austin State School.
