With enormous teacher support and student enthusiasm, we were able to collect over three thousand tons of food. Students collected food at local grocery stores, from shoppers, from neighbors, as well as their own cupboards. The contribution to help the needy was more than double from last year. The focus of the club is on the school as part of the community. You are a member of the Co-ed Club. As Allison Williams explains, everyone in the school is considered part of the club, the members help channel the enthusiasm and good will of the students into productive and successful activities. The food drive is just one example. The club sponsors the Father-Daughterf Mother-Son Banquetg the growing number of students participating in the dinner-dance attest to its success. The square dancing with Skunk , an authentic caller, brought the chilli dinner into the proper atmosphere. Debby encouraged people to get involved, . . . bring both your parents! Don 't get hung up on the technicalities. ' Spring Tolo and Cupcake O'Grams on Valentines Day are two 'Co-ed sponsored ways of showing your friends you care. The Co-ed Club is put together with the idea of doing things which are beneficial to the school and community while having fun.

Foreign and American Students around the High School found the opportunity to malze new friends and explore other cultures and societies in the International Club. The club meets every Tuesday to plan activities with other International Clubs in the Seattle area. Club members had the opportunity to experience each other's cultures, societies and ideas, a well- rounding experience. This year, for the second year, the club organized International week, where exchange students from all over the state come and visit each other and Mercer Island. The success of the club is largely due to the efforts of M r. Fruend, advisor. Mr. Fruend feels that, because the club brings together many different nations the club promotes understanding of cultures and ideas not your own. SPCTLIGI-IT Curt Dawson former exchange student said about the International Club, exchange year is a great growing exper with other exchange students adds even greater depth to the year I thmlc this is the purpose of the International Club and I think it does this well Y 7 ' ' An ience.
