Proud to be Black Q elping students to learn about themselves and others was what john Powers enjoyed about being the Black Culture Club's ad- visor. I enjoy my work as advisor a lot, because it is challenging and I like to work with students, stated Powers. The main purpose of the Black Culture Club was to explore Black history and Black heritage in Africa. Being involved with the club gave me a chance to help educate the Santa Rita community about blacks. I also learned more about myself and my Black culture, stated Leslie Smith, president of the club. We discuss our experiences and the problems we are each faced with in our environment. The students participated enthusiastical- ly in all events. Each member has a very positive, mature, and responsible attitude, stated Vice-President Ella Smith. The relationship between Powers and members of the club was extremely good according to Powers and club members. With 15 active members, the Black Culture Club met after school on Thursdays. They were involved in various activities, one of which was a Martin Luther King production. In this way we would like to support his birth- day, january 15, as a national holiday, stated Michelle Davis, committee chair- man director. It was done to let other people recognize King as a great man of skill and wisdom who fought for his right to be an equal American, Davis added. Members of the Black Culture Club did not have to be black. Everyone was encouraged to join with an open mind. We want others to join to show what we are all about and to show our sup- port in the community, stated Powers. The Black Culture Club enabled black students to explore their heritage.

To Have un Is Main Goal he main objective of the bowl- ing club last year was, to have a good time and to enjoy the sport of bowling, stated Doug Bond, Bowling Club president. Club membership declined again last year, but the group had good leadership and experience to make up for the loss. The group consisted of 42 members, with ten teams of four people each. They met every Wednesday at Tucson Bowl from 3:30 to 5:30. Treasurer Christie Briggs remarked, My mom got me into bowling and I really enjoy it. After three years of experience, Briggs had improved her average to 145, and become a good club leader. Mr. Baab, the advisor of the club, was well-liked. Very funny and easy to get along with, according to many of the club members. Bond had bowled for twelve years and commented that the group was a great team that played well together. Being an officer takes a lot of responsibility and leadership, com- mented Bond, who maintained a 157 average with the club. I hope to have more tournaments and to beat our rival, Palo Verde, this year and to get my average higher, Bond stated. Briggs goals for last year were to improve her already good average and do well. The club competed in tournaments against three other Tucson schools, in a Christmas Tournament, in which they played Sabino, Palo Verde, and Sahuaro. Other competitions were held between the schools, including Turkey Day, Beat the Coach, and Rodeo Day. 1 Design:joy Hutton Copyzjames McKnight Photos.john Davis, Lori Ashford, Doug Bond
