Brave Redskins Initiated The O ' Club is a group of athletes who are brave enough to withstand the initiation. It involves shaving your head, eating raw onions, and singing songs composed by fellow O ' Club members to local store owners for the boys. The girls cannot shave their legs for three months. Prospective members must also withstand 0 ' Club night. The events of this night have been rumored to be quite gruesome, However, only the 0 ' Club members ever really know what goes on. Kelly McMillen was selected as the O ' Day Queen and Candy Hanson was the runner-up. Both girls are members of the 0 ' Club. Candy is the head cheerleader for the upcoming school year, and Kelly will be co-head. WITH THEIR NEWLY shaven heads and onion breath, O ' Club initiates Jimmy Watkins, Darryl Moody. Jimmy l oyd, Ken Nichols. Jesse Buse. David Whited, and Songleader Jack Bains embarrass themselves by singing songs composed by fellow O ' Club members. MISS O ' DAY QUEEN: Kelly McMillen and First Alternate: Candy Hanson. 130 O ' Club

For All Homemakers: It ' s Just A Matter Of Taste Whether it is learning how to do thread count cross stitching or stencil designs on papers and fabrics, all FHA ' ers know that everyone is a future homemaker. Everyone lives some- where and needs to know how to make that home the best place to be. Members planned and gave a Christmas party for the children at the Child Development Day Care Center. They brightened up the children ' s Christmas by serving them delicious refreshments and providing small gifts for each child. In the past, National FHA week was observed by serving milk and cookies to the school. This year, however, an assembly was scheduled for the high school. An Academy Award nominat- ed f ilm was shown about a severely handicapped man named Leo Beur- men. The film touched the hearts of many students and made them realize that no matter how bad off you think you are there is always someone who is not as fortunate as you. SHARON RAGSDALE HAS learned that to be able to sew means that one can have many new clothes.

Inspiration And Perspiration The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is a group of athletes who desire to grow spiritually as well as physically. The FCA chapter at Oneonta meets on Thursdays after practice during football season. At these nneetings they read from books written by pro- fessional athletes about how their spiri- tual life can affect their performance on the field and in everyday life. During the summer, several FCA members attend a conference at Black Mountain in North Carolina, where they participate in a variety of activities. Organizations 131
