A smile is worn by everybody What makes a person smile? For many people this question can be answered unlimited!;,. There are reasons why those corners of the mouth go up and unmask the real feelings of a person. A smile can be revealed by just having a happy thought or seeing something that was touching. Smiling is followed by laughter. People cannot laugh without putting the big- gest smiles on their faces. Doctors have long proved that laughing is good for the heart muscles. Everywhere you turn, you can always find a different smile. The sly smile is a deceitful way of showing someone that you have something up your sleeve. Another smile is caused by love which has a special meaning to each who ob- tain it. Boys and girls who are in love, give each other smiles from across a classroom or even when they ' re just talking about something two feet from each other. A smile which is not well-liked by people who receive it, is a sneer. People who give this smile to someone who do not feel the whole world of that person. Regularly seen on many people is the friendly smile. This smile is shown by everybody, friends, strangers, etc. ... As a result of this smile, it has become a universal way of saying hi . Smiling and laughing is a part of a person ' s basic human nature. As sophomore Colette Chase said, It gives your face something to do.

As with many high schools, present and past, assembling together and forming an organization to repre- sent a certain group was the best way to get your picture on every page. Making yourself part of a club was a great way to show just how active you were and how important you felt your school was. Maybe your goal was just to get out and meet people in school or let ' everybody know who you were. The purpose of clubs was to bring together students who were interested in getting together and sharing their thoughts and ideas. Raising money was many clubs ' primary thought, and they filled their needs by selling candy, ornaments or holding car washes. Then they reward- ed themselves with a trip to a famous Californian amusement park or a dinner at an exotic restaurant. One of the largest examples of clubs hiking ' ' together was the Homecoming carnival held in the student parking lot. Clubs compiled their ideas and chose which activity they wanted to represent at their booths. The booths ranged from selling food to the playing of a game where the winners were given a prize. That was the first San Gorgonian car- nival and maybe the last. The reason was because most of these clubs did not make much of a profit. Another tradition of club organization was ICC day. Again clubs assembled and sold food or represented a game. This was always successful because it was during school and of course profits were made. ICC was always a big help to many of the clubs. It consisted of all the club presidents and together they decided what activities they would par- ticipate in. Clubs were of extreme importance to school. They made an ordinary day much more interesting. They gave students the chance to add variety to school life away from the books and pencil pushing. Just like hiking together, students helped each other reach peaks they could only reach together. April Abreau a senior added, Clubs are important because they let students get involved in activities aside from schoolwork. Senior Krista Brown concluded, Assembling with other people and sharing the high school times of great fun, should be experienced. That ' s why clubs are very essential.
