TWO WIN AT REGIONALS Future Business Leader of America (FBLA) had an eventful year. The FBLA regional convention was held in Gilmanton, WI on February 15. Many FBLA members from Monroe High attended. At the convention, delegates voted on president and vice president of FBLA at the regional level. Members competed in various contests, learned many things about the business world, and generally had a good time. Two students, Lenae Rowe and Noelle Isely, entered a contest in Business Graphics. In this competition the team was given a topic and asked to design a project that best conveyed the theme within a 90-minute time limitation. The topic Isely and Rowe worked on was designing a book cover for a pamphlet, combining business and FBLA. Fully expanding their ingenuity, the team placed first among their competitors. FBLA members also attended the state convention in Green Bay, April 10 through April 12. Here, students voted on state officers and shared ideas to increase thir knowledge of the business world. There were a variety of contests open for members which included business graphics, business mathematics, data processing, stenography, and typing. In this closing competition, no Monroe students placed. Two sophomore members of FBLA, Shawn Zentner and Mary Goltz, discuss the agenda while awaiting for the meeting to start.

Science Club is not a small group of alchemists who hide away in dark comers performing unusual experiments. Actually, Science Club became quite social this year. In the past. Science Club had numerous bake sales in order to raise money. Last year Science Club composed dances as an additional fund-raiser. So what do they do with the vast treasury? Buy chemicals? Wrong! The members took several trips including an eagle visitation and a jaunt to Chicago. At the windy city the members spent time at the Adler Planetarium and the Museum of Science and Industry. The senior members of the club also planned a trip to St. Louis for the early part of the summer. Rarely did a Science Club expedition occur, when the members did not take a side trip to a local shopping mall. The members expressed an avid interest in the vital science of shopping. The journey home was always filled with excited chatter discussing recent purchases as well as music. Grading by musical taste, the club was divided into three distinct groups-the WHAMers, the non-WHAMers, and those who frankly did not care. Other current hits are discussed as well. So, despite the popular belief, experiments are not performed by the trendy Science Club. The members enjoyed a fun year of a social nature.

WHERE TO TURN? 'Where to turn if it starts to burn was the theme for the National Future Farmers of America (FFA) Week along with FFA-Leaders for the New Fields of Agriculture. The student's projects were based on these themes. FFA members participated in displays at the West Mall and in area schools. Rich Ammon, president of FFA reflected, The kids to whom we went out and talked really enjoyed what we had to say .... Each grade schooler was allowed to put out a small Fire to learn how to properly bring a fire under control through the use of an extinguisher. Continuing 1985's project of creating a hardwood forest out of Monroe's Airport Park, members planted 3000 trees to go along with the 3,500 previously planted. The trees are important because they form a refuge for the wildlife and make a solid ground cover which prevents erosion. FFA members also worked on many other projects such as Conservation Days, Food for America, and the branding of area tractors. They also went to district, sectional, state, and national contests, as well as attending state, national convenions, and leadership conferences.
