PARENTAL I The next time you go to a football game or basketball game, or any athlet- ic event, look at all the new uniforms and all the shiny equipment. Have you ever wondered how the school could levy all of that? Well, the school would not be able to do it if it were not for the Booster Club. Yes, the people who sell you hotdogs and lollipops at the home football and basketball games are working hard to perpetuate the Trojan spirit by raising money for the schoolas athletic needs. The Booster Club, however, is not limited to working the concession stands. They also hold many fund rais- ers during the year including the school's chicken and barbeque dinners. So, the goals for the Booster Club are simple. They work hard to generate funds to support the Pine Forest Tro- jans in all their athletic endeavors and to help alleviate the school's expenses by volulnteering to do jobs that the school would otherwise have to hire someone to do. The Booster Club however is not the only parent affiliated group which per- forms school service projects.
