Students use creativitv to make organizations more than fun and games Whether it was to raise money or to celebrate the year ' s end with a meaningful party, members of organizations had ample opportunity to create. Almost all foreign language clubs had a party or banquet allowing them to dress in costumes native to the language they studied. These parties also helped them get more practice in speaking the language, and they learned to appreciate the country ' s culture. To raise money for uniforms, the Band had a carnival with weight guessing, basketball toss, bingo, and cake walk booths netting the high step- ping musicians $900. It was Bellmont ' s first carni- val. One of the most popular booths proved to be the water balloon cage where 1 2 teachers lined-up to take their punishments from avenging students.
