What,s new n the Club Scene With a jamm' packed popula- tion this year, Northwest devel- oped two new organizations to accommodate the expanding needs of the student body. The Future Educators of America fF.E.A.j and the American ln- dustrial Arts Student Associa- tion fA.I.A.S.A.j offeredfuture teachers and industrial arts enthusiasts an opportunity to discover more about their respective interests. Mr. Woody served as adviser for F .E.A. He spent countless hours recruiting club members and promoting education in general. One of the numerous activities F .E .A . participated in was American Education Week in November. Members wrote personal thank you notes to the Northwest faculty and ad- ministration for jobs well done. In December, the prospective educators held a Christmas party to celebrate the holiday season. An agenda was estab- lished in January for the remainder of the year which in- cluded guest speakers and re- cruitment at the middle school. F.E.A. had rewarding ex- periences due to the dedication and enthusiasm of everyone in- volved. The American Industrial Arts Student Association began a productive year with the aid of adviser Mr. Houck. A.I.A.S.A. aw A A.I.A.S.A. adviser Mr. Houck illustrates his expertise in technology with this very interesting demonstration ofa highly sophisticated robot. P At this F .E.A. meeting, members discuss the pros and cons of teaching, while gaining first-hand experience through various projects. 58 I F.E.A.lA,l.A.S.A. V was formed primarily to encourage interest in technol- ogy and the industrial arts. Dur- ing 1 987- '88 the club had almost twenty members and expects to grow even more in the future. All of the members gererously supported the Muscular Dystro- phy Association fMDAj fund- raiser, while they also contributed to the A.I.A.S.A. Spring Ex- position. Both the Future Educators of America and the American In- dustrial Arts Student Associa- tion captured the Viking spirit this year as they built the vital foundations for enhancing the club scene at Northwest.
