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.”

The fruit was to arrive on November 19th but because of bad weather the fruit was smaller than usual, so the FFA decided to wait one day for the larger ones. The fruit finally arrived on November 20, 1979 at 7 p.m. The customer's were asked to wait until Saturday morning to pick them up. “‘It was a great success and we plan to do it every year,’’ commented senior Kevin Bridges. The money will be used to go on judging trips. The Cleveland County Fair was the FFA‘s first contest. They judged beef and dairy cattle. The FFA won second in judging and on their fair booth. “Judging cows or anything for that matter takes a lot of hard work and concentration. ‘’You have to know all about what you’ re judging,”’ remarked FBLA BOTTOM ROW: Teresa Hallman, Teresa Kris Canipe, Karen Bumgardner, Kay Putnam, sophomore Barry McKee. “’I really like Camp, Celest Harkey.
