Where Are The Points If you noticed some art students looking around for some envelopes during the winter there’s a perfectly good explanation. The art club planned on going to Washington in April. Mrs. Putnam, who is the sponsor, devised a point system where members got a certain number of points for such things as: bring in papers for their paper drives, attending meetings, and noticing things in her classroom. In January Mrs. Putnam placed envelopes with 200 points all over the school. The members who found these were awarded the points. The art club has been active all year raising money for their Washington trip and equipment for their projects. They have sold calendars, sponsored exhibits, had bake TOP: As last year art club members pass by the Smithsonian Zoo a brown bear poses long enough for a picture.

They also put up all the bulletin boards and put up the display case every month. Mrs. Putnam commented on the tiresome project of Christmas decorations, ‘It took a lot of time and energy on everyone’s part, but it was very successful.”’ Out of all the people in the art club only the top 24 went to Washington. So it took a lot of work on the part of the members who went. Last year when they went to Washington Congressman Broyhill took them through the National Cathedral. Mrs. Putnam commented, “I think it’s a real good experience for the students. They did things like ride subways, which most of them have never done.”

Not So Different After All French Gobblins giving out candy for Halloween and ending up on the floor and pinatas full of candy, hanging in Mrs. Surratt’s room waiting to be broken were a few of the activities going in the French and Spanish Clubs. Since France and Spain are two different countries with their own customs, religions, etc., you’d think the clubs would be very different. However, both clubs have done similar activities with their own customs such as dinners, food-selling, and contests. The Spanish Club sponsored National Week of the Spanish Language October 8-12. This included initiation, in which new members had to do what they were told. ‘Have you ever had to tell a teacher you loved them?”, commented sophomore Marty Gee. ‘It wasn’t the best thing I’ve ever had to do.”” Also held was a poster contest but it was cancelled because no one entered. “‘La Semaine de flou-flou’’ sponsored by the French Club from November 26-30 included a display in front of Mr. Miller’s room and induction of new members who were required to dress like a french personality. These included artists, chefs, bar maids, ladies of French Club BOTTOM ROW: Todd Lee, Glenna Holland, Karen Walker, Kim Sisk, Jana Watts, Sherry Ross, Sunni Wease, Jatha Lee.

With tacos, quesedilla’s and civilian cinnamon cookies many students filled their stomachs. ‘| though the food was very good,”’ commented sophomore Lisa Lyons. “It wasn’t what | expected.”’ Later the French Club members baked and sold quiche Lorraine, Cherises Jubilees, and simple cinnamon cookies during break. ‘’There was a big rush when the bell rang” replied Mr. Miller with a grin. ‘We ran out of ice cream and when | turned around the students fixing the plates were eating as much quiche as they were selling.” ROW 3: Carol Campbell, Donna Lee, Tina Heafner, Cindy Bivins, Felicia Roberts, Wanda Wood, Carla Smith, Angie Poole, Melanie Russ, Lori Walker, Paula Gould.
