Student The AVHS Student Council is designed to provide an opportunity for students to experience leadership. The members that are elected soon find out that there is a lot of hard work involved. The Student Council spon- sors the Bloodmobile twice a year and encourages students to participate as donors. They also sponsor the Homecoming dance, Regional Tournament ads, and several other projects. This year some members attended the District Student Council Convention where they participated in group discussions and picked up many new ideas. A few members also attended the State Student Council Convention in Waynesville and brought back many suggestions on how to make the council more organized and efficient. Also, this year a PAC was formed. This committee had weekly meetings with the principal and discussed various subjects. It is felt that these meetings were very successful.

The members are chosen by recommenda- tion from teachers on the basis of the applicant’s attitude and how well he applies himself in class. The club’8 activities are as follows: two scholarships given to graduating seniors, books to Kindergarteners at Christmas, fruit trays are given to retired teachers, teachers’ and members’ recreation nights, a Sweetheart ban- quet, a visit to a college campus and other educational trips, candy sales as fund raising ac- tivity, and special speakers at the monthly meetings.

The AVHS Spanish Club is an organization for students who have an interest in culture or language of Spanish speaking countries to further their interest by participating in various projects. For example, this year the club attended the Foreign Language Fair at Rolla, Missouri, where several of the members participated in a skit entitled Los Tres Osos (The Three Bears). The skit was done Entirely in Spanish and the club was commended for its outstanding performance. A quartet then sang “The Way We Were”, (in Spanish of course). Members of the Spanish club also attended the Foreign Language Fair at Cape where they presented another skit. 42 1 French Club The 1975-76 Groupe de Francais has been very active this year. The club gained insight into the French people and customs through language study and films. The group sponsored a Korean child. They adopted Jung Mi Ran.

IT IS RATHER THE END OF THE BEGINNING. —Winston Churchill Diana Strange was named Salutatorian and Gleena Miller was Valedictorian of the 1976 Bicentennial Class of Arcadia Valley High School. 67 As we, the class of 1976 prepare to leave Arcadia Valley High School for the last time, it is with a deep sense of sadness that we approach graduation. For twelve years we have been one unit, undivided, and now we will become many units as we are divided and each goes his separate way. There are many things which we wish we had done and also many which we wish we had not done. But be that as it may, life goes on. There is a poem which seems appropriate for us, The Seniors of 1976, which was written by Jean B. Smith and appeared in TEEN magazine. It is as follows: The Spirit of ’76 Black and Gold, our colors waving Emblem of the true, In the Valley proudly standing, High School here’s to you. Make way for us; here we come. We’re the future—America’s young. Don’t criticize or mock our youth; Just like you, we search for truth. Hypocrisies won’t get us down; We will strike where these abound. There’s much to do; we’re needed here, To help preserve what men hold dear. We’ll work with others hand-in-hand, To try to help our fellow man. In this land our fathers made, We stand together unafraid. Give us room; let us by. The youth of America have arrived. There’s nothing wrong that we can’t fix; We’re the Spirit of ’761 So with our newly won independence we will sing for the last time, Arcadia Valley Let your portals Always open be. Through the years All praise and glory We will give to thee. Memories of the years we spent here, Vivid till the end Hoping always to remember, And our goals defend. And leave forever the days of our youth behind and move on to new worlds to conquer; but we will forever carry in our hearts the memories of the days at Arcadia Valley High School. 68 Sports Boy’s Golf Team Varsity-Bruce Lorenz, Randy Yancey, Rick Hood, Mark Archambault, Mr. Kirchner.
