LJ- We were the ones who ran around the nature center taking care of the animals and their habitat. Some of us also worked on nature centers at different elementary schools. We tried to establish something that students could use in the future years as well as in the present. We continued to have newspaper and aluminum can drives, even though most people at BTW didn't know about them. We spent a lot of our time away from school: we went to the Illinois River, Spring Creek, the Salt Plains and other places around Oklahoma and Arkansas where we could study and enjoy nature. Last summer, some of us went to Colorado to spend a week in the San Juan Mountains at the Phillips University Science Camp. We wanted people to know about our club, so we had the National Art Honor Society paint a logo on the Ecology pre-fab. At the beginning of this year, we concluded that everything is connected and depends on each other. So we worked as a team - with ourselves and with nature.

By holding mock trials and debates with other schools, we furthered our education in law. And by being members of the Law club, we found ourselves guilty of enjoying ourselves in the process. 31

Moutaineering They weren't Mount Everest, but the rocks at Chandler Park and the stadium walls taught us the skills of mountain climbing. We didn'tjust play all thetimeg many of our class periods were spent studying equipment use, knot tying, mapping and learning first aid. We had two rappel-a-thons scaling over ten miles to raise money for much-needed new equipment. We had a downhill skiing trip at Angel Fire, New Mexico, a five-day cross-country skiing trip in Colorado and a canoeing trip down the Buffalo River. We were instilled with self-confidence, stamina, teamwork and self-discipline.
