Aviotion Club Bononzo Students Toke to the Skies Who would wash airplanes as a fund-raising activity? The new Aviation Club, that's who! Aviation Club members washed ten single-engined planes at fifteen dollars each for their first fund-raising activity this year. They received S150 for their efforts. The club was organized by Mark Rojas in an effort to help all those students at Bonanza who were interested in learning more about aviation. Besides just learning about aspects of avi- ation such as aerodynamics and meteorology, and being pro- vided with an orientation into careersin the tield of aviation, club members were able to gain practical flying experience. Once a week Mr. Rojas would take two or three students on a tour of the skies above Las Vegas. The Aviation Club was also involved with school activities. At Bonanza's tirst annual Mardi Gras they sponsored a booth in which students threw darts at balloons. Prizes were hidden inside the balloons with the grand prize being a ride into the wild blue yonder, ofcourse.

Leadership Club Leoders Serve 350 Students Pcincci ke Breo kfost Bonanza's first Pancake Breakfast was sponsored by the Leadership Club on the Thursday following Spirit Week. It was originally to be during Spirit Week, but it was postponed due to snow. This was the major fund-raising project for financing their goal - a club trip to Washington, D.C. in the spring. The Leadership Club was new this year. It was composed of members of the Leadership class which was an early-bird course taught by Dayle Fitzpatrick. The purpose of this class and club was to acquaint the students with school and community areas of leadership in which they could actively participate. The mem- bers were those students who were inter- ested in playing a major role in Bonan- za's activities and in pursuing leadership roles after graduation. Due to the suc- cess of the class there were eight more students that joined the class at the semester. LEADERSHIP CLUB. Front row: Warren Peterson.
