This year the Biology Club, spon- sored by Mrs. Cummings-Palmer, de- creased its size, as several members dropped out of the club and a few mem- bers graduated last year. To be a member of the Biology Club, a student must be interested in a future career in one of the many science fields. A student must also maintain a “B” average in the courses they are taking. Each year the Biology Club partici- pates in many activities. Every spring, the Biology Club goes out on their annual “Hunting expedition” to find and collect many flowers and insects, to later classify. This year the Biology Club put up hanging baskets in the cafeteria to brighten up a sometimes’ dreary cafeteria.

Once again, the Beta Club had a tremendously successful stew sale this year. Proceeds from this money-raising project went to several scholarships awarded to deserving seniors. New members received during induction ceremonies were escorted by experi- enced seniors to the annual Beta Club Convention which was held this year ot T 7 in Roanoke. Most members agreed U es one S that this was the most enjoyable Beta Club activity in which they had par- ef t ticipated, aside from the honor of being e as selected for membership. | Dana Pritchard, President; Vickey Overbey, Secretary; Anthony Jones, Kim Walker and Karen Wallace were picked Vice President; Tim O'Brian, Treasurer.

Learning Languages Spanish Club members have enjoyed many activities this year. They visited Ollantay, a cultural group of musicians, in Raleigh on November 15, 1977. The mem- bers Edmond Quentin and Alain played wind instru- ments, guitar, and drums to demonstrate Spanish folk songs in the Latin American Countries. In December, Dr. Maria Sylveira, Professor of Spanish at Longwood College, visited the Spanish classes. She talked about her departure from Cuba after Castro’s climb to power. Mrs. Sylveira’s talk was interesting, educational, and gave the students the experience of hearing someone tell exactly how privileged we are to live in a free country. Mrs. Ken Cope from Clarksville came to talk to students about her visits in Mexico. This year she brought back a 12 year old exchange student who speaks Spanish fluently. SPANISH I!
