Sixteen years ago, because of the enthusi- asm toward agriculture, FFA was started. Their theme was Learning to do, doing to learn, learning to live, and living to serve. Unfortunately, as our school has grown, FFA has suffered in the same way as the rest of America ' s farmers, with many people con- sidering themselves above such things as working with plants and animals. But our hard working FFA students still came through with high honors in the Hemet Fair, Jr. Livestock Show and other competitions they entered — even the volleyball games, and public speaking events! FFA members are generally enrolled in one or more agricul- ture classes and they learn the fundamentals of agricultural problems and solutions. Their most profitable fund raiser each year is the sale of Christmas trees. Let ' s add up the facts, multiply our inter- est, and divide the fun! Regular math club meetings are very different from most club meetings. These dedicated students, who all have very promising futures, periodically give up their lunch period to meet in Miss Gallagher ' s room and take tests. The tests with the highest scores are placed into com- petition with top scores from high schools around the country and, of course, MoVal ' s students come out either on top, or very close to it. Maintaining a professional look in the West Quad is the responsibility of the Agriculture classes. Keeping math club members on their toes is the sole responsibil- ity of Miss Gallagher.

Take the goals of community involvement and service, add in a little hard work and a lot of fun and you have the ingredients for ser- vice clubs such as the Rotary sponsored In- teract and the Kiwanis sponsored Key Clubs. The Interact club established itself as a ser- vice club through participation in communi- ty events and social service. Under the advi- sorship of Miss Masters, they have set a trend that will be hard to follow. As if these hard workers were not enough, a new kid on the block was the community service oriented Key Club. Their advisor was the new Career Center Coordinator, Ms. Warn. One thing that makes Key Club differ- ent according to Ms. Warn is, our member- ship is by application only. Our school represented the country of Chad in the UCR Model UN conference which is probably the largest and best at- tended conference of this type. Model UN advisor, Bill Payne revealed, I consider this an open forum for students to discuss inter- national issues, but for them it ' s just interest- ing. Charter member of the club, Phil Sum- mers worked very hard to prepare for the UCR conference and was partially responsi- ble for their outstanding performance. Being a foreign exchange student can be very exciting, and going to school with American kids can be quite a challenge. Third year exchange student Sanae Fujimoto said, The people here are more independent than in Japan, but I really like the school, teachers, and my friends. Another ex- change student from Japan is Aya Kato. When asked how she liked being an ex- change student, she replied, I like it, but it is very different. The studies are harder in ja- pan and they don ' t have any parties in high school. Key Club members Gay Ramsey. Janette Doughton. and Charlene Petrasek, proudly display their flag during Club Day. Third year foreign exchange student from Ja- pan. Sanae Fujimoto was crowned Winter Homecoming queen. Exchange students Aya Kato from Japan and Cea- sar Martinez from Spain enjoy life in America.
