' Debators Overcome the Symptoms of Spasmuttuering The Junior Statesmen of America this year continued to be one of the most popular clubs on campus. What attracted so many students to this speech and debate club? Ac- cording to Rose Anne Yagar and the ISA Board, JSA is something different for everyone and allows irls to make friendships that will Fast a lifetime. It seems that what attracts girls to this club depends on each student. Some were, no doubt, attracted by the number of activities s onsored b the club. Once members, regardless of their motive for joining, students gained a knowledge of current events, po- litical occurrences and, in eneral, a better understanding of the issues concerning this country. Along with numerous other Iu- nior State Chapters from this area, the girls attended Fall Overnight, their first major funtion of the year. They participated in debates, mock trials, and discussions on current events. At this year's Fall Overnight, President Rose Anne Yagar won the Best Debator award. However, that was a repeat erfor- mance for Rose Anne as sffe also won the Best Debator award at a Mini-conference on October 31 at Orange County Courthouse. Spring State was another exciting event for JSA. Here on our St. Jo- seph cam us the club sponsored the Second, Annual Dinner-Debate, one of its major fundraisers. On a larger scale, Junior State is a completly student-run organiza- tion, which prepares teens for civic leadership positions. It is a nation- wide association divided into gar held the office of Director of Chapter Affairs while Vice-Presi- dent Kristine Lee was Director of Gra hics this year. . Clearly, being a member of the Junior Statesmen of America re- quires serious involvement. It does not discriminate on the basis of grades. It has educational, social and political merit. It is a learning experience in that it demands dedi- cation and or anization. Its social value is found in the tremendous interaction with other JSA mem- bers in this area and across the na- tion. Finally, it reinforces the im- portance of leadership and democ- racy in the U.S. through its empha- sis on politics. Without a doubt, the attraction to this club lies in the opportunities it provides. Activities and Organizations 49

RENCH CL B Vive La France! Bonjour! Comment allez-vous? Translated, this common French greeting, Hello! How are you? , was commonly heard in the French Club this year. As a long-standing academic club at St. Joseph High School, it made its presence known on campus with the help its moderator, Mr. Plouf. His strong sense of dedication livened the clubs activities and made the year memorable for everyone involved in the club. Although it held various fundraisers, the croissant sale was one that both faculty and students enjoyed. All of the money which it raised contributed to the expense of its annual banquet held at the end of each school year. The driving force behind the French Club was the members' enthusiasm for the French culture and their love of the French language. 1 Being moderator of the French Club much of Mr Ploufs time was students with delicious pastrres 2 Club president Martha Morales and Bibi Mart: discuss the menu for the French Club banquet devoted to the croissant sale as he and lgatricia Taggart quickly supply 50 Activities And Organizations .-1i' or V p . -gi ff ..,,, ir. v , at The French Club members for 1987-88 are: fbaclc rowj Bi Marti, Maura Lawrence, Maritza Cuenca, moderator Mr. Plou Christy McCarthy, Martha Morales,ffront rowj Erica Ledesm Carrie Van Horik, Betsy Bejorquez, Venus Mikulich, and Lis Ledesma.
