P t X Sponsoring the newspaper staff has been a learning situation for me as well as the students, says Mrs. Irvin. lt is interesting to learn about the students in a situation oth- er than in the classroom. This has been Mrs. Irvin's first year sponsoring the newspaper, and she says that she had been learning along with her new staff. The staff met twice a month for assignments and also to help each ublication other on their articles. The editors met four times a month. The staff was selected by their writing skills, recommendations by other teachers and previous experi- ence. The staff had improved a great deal in their writing and had stretched their writing skills by doing many dif- ferent types of articles, stated Mrs. Irvin.

Clubs This year at BSJH we had more than our fill of clubs. lt seemed every- one was participating in at least one. Culturally Speaking was a club with a concept. That concept was to give the students involved experi- ence in writing and its field. To do that the club organizers, the English teachers, organized trips to expose students to different authors and ex- periences that they could later write about. The group averaged about 25 members. The students formed writ- ing groups with their peers and pre- pared writings for local contests. The meetings were held in the library and in 2l2B. During meetings students shared refreshments as well as their writings. Industrial Hrts club was formed this year and was designed to work for the students interests. The 40 students involved built projects that they would enjoy doing.

The most important project done this year was a mass production of chop- ping blocks which the students sold. The money was used for various community services. Math Club was also a club this year. The club met every Tuesday af- ter school between 2:30 ad 3:30 in Mrs. CDuackenbush's room. The cIub's atmosphere was very casual so that the students had more than a teach- erfstudent relationship. The Math Club sponsors were Miss Johnson, Mrs. Moehle and Mrs. Quackenbush. The club went to the H.C. muse- um, took part in l-lnowledge Master, and for the first time elected officers. This was the first year History Club was offered. There were be- tween 30 to 35 students that partici- pated. The club met in Mr. Garrett's room twice a month from 2:30 to 3:30. , ' I X -A,?'17- 3 lf! .V K X' Wx Y' r, ' ig, 'T gl The club had several field trips which included a trip to the Liberty Memorial, a career segment, and a judicial segment. Stock Club was a club that was active during second semester. Here, students bought and managed their stock under the direction of Mrs.Olberding and Mrs. Reed. Each group of students had Sl00,000.00 to spend. They are in competition with oth- er schools in the Hansas City area based on the activity of their stock. Our school this year was full of clubs. If you weren't in one you mis- sed out on some real fun! David Ecton, Jim Mitchell, Suzanne Zimmerman Robyn Hatcfff 2. C G' in
