Unlike other clubs, this one organized and continued some of the district's largest projects. Members spent their time on two main projects and a diversity of smaller, meaningful activities. The first big project, our steadfast paper drive, sounded rather simple in Celia's weekly announcement. Actually it was chaos. Desperately trying to find a truck or car to transport the papers and frantically searching for someone - anyone - to load up the papers in the rain constituted the normal Thursday afternoon. There were benefits: seeing how far Jennifer and Kevin could heave a bag of papers and eating donuts. But the greatest benefit was that, on Thursday afternoon, we knew that we had just saved five trees from the lumber yard and made a few more dollars for the animals. We saw how the shelter needed money and our help. On several expeditions, we cleaned and painted the cages and the walls and worked around the outside. This kind of work produced headaches during and after - but the same people would return. The reason behind that work is the basis of the club. Other projects, with other members, brought money to UNICEF, smiles to children, and a home to a Colom- bian orphan. If you noticed an iris or crocus around the school this spring, you saw one of the many little deeds of the Interacters. Not all of our projects are written in capital letters. 96 ACTIVITIES The clubbers work at the Animal Shelter.

Current Events Club Draws Varied Speakers Perhaps one of the most active clubs at Webb is the Q Current Events Club. In the six meetings this year, the members heard discussions on a wide range of topics. Several A.F.S. students came to speak about their coun- T tries, which included Africa, Germany, and Switzerland. There were also two talks on local politics conducted by Charles Maynard and Mike Rowland. Other dis- tinguished guests included Stoney Lane, who spoke on penal reform in Tennessee. As in past years, the club stimulated widespread student interest in current affairs. The socializing period after the talks gave students an opportunity to question each speaker. John Sample, the president, and Kirby Chritton, a moving force in the club, are to be commended for providing interesting and varied speakers. The club owes many thanks to the faculty advisor, Mrs. Lothrop, for its exciting and in- formative year. 98
