iiiiiiiilsing tarting Gver Do you know what group of about 20 females met the first Thursday of each month? They were considered the local service group and they called themselves the Civinettes. At 7:45 in portable 6 on the first Thursday of each month the Civinettes met in order to plan their future activities. Their planning started when some of the girls went to camp at the beginning of the year. The camp included workshops on motivation and reports.

First there was the citizenship project. In carrying out this project each member had to be a good citizen. Another project was the community project. To forfill this project the girls had to plan and carry out an event that would benefit the community. The third and final project was the service project. The girls had to perform a service for the school whereas the students would benefit. In order to obtain the money they needed, the Civinettes sold brass items. Each member had a brochure that they carried around and received orders. When the orders had been completed the brass had to be delivered to the right customers. Next, the Civinettes found themselves carrying around bags of stuffed animals. The girls sold almost any animal from a yellow duck to a little pink elephant. Under the new sponsor this year the Civinettes completed their fundraising and their projects. Mrs. Baker said, I was asked by Ms. McGaha and Mike Cravens to do Civitans andfor Civinettes. I chose to do Civinettes only. She continued to say that she felt that she could give the girls the supervision that they needed on the overnight activities. Ellen Stevens Signing up ,. .

Each year the news- paper and yearbook staff has to start over. There are new members to be broken in, new stories to be thought of, and dead- lines to met all over again. Thirteen new members were added to the newspa- per staff, which made fif- teen people total. The two returning members had to work with the new mem- bers so that the monthly issue of The Maverick Round-up could be sold on time. Karinda Rankin said, This year our staff is closer, more like a fam- ily. We have spent many hours together after school and even on days that we didn't go to school. Everyone is very dedicated. The Reflections staff got an early start when six members chose to go to a three-day camp at Con- verse College. When the year started, the theme had been decided, the cov- er designed, and the lay- outs planned, but there was still plenty of work to do. Susan Craig said, There are so many head- aches that I wonder if it's worth it. In the long run I suppose it will be. New members did not realize what they had got- ten themselves into until after the first deadline. Then, they found them- selves working at school until 10:00 p.m. to finish pages for deadlines. No matter how hard the staff worked, Murphy's Law came through: if any- thing can go wrong it will. Ellen Stevens Good ideas . . .
