Fund- aising Eason Football season provided a means for NHS members to raise money. Al Floyd, NHS member and quarter- back for varsity football came up with the idea of selling wildcat paws for the North Gaston game. By doing this the club could promote school spirit while at the same time raising money. After two days of cutting, sewing, and stuf- fing the paws were then sold at school and at the game for 75¢ each. The NHS took advantage of the next home game — Chase by selling doughnuts. They had 90 boxes and by the end of the game all of them had been bought. Money raised from these fundraisers went toward the induction ceremony, talent show, and NHS Scholarship. The Beta Club’s fund raising projects are a bit more traditional. This year they made $321.00 from their annual bake sale. This money goes toward the Beta Club Scholarship and other vari- ous public services. The reward for all this work comes in the spring at convention time. Last spring’s convention was held in Raliegh. The club first toured the Gov- ernor’s Mansion where they were served small refreshments. Later they voted on state officers. This was done much the same as student council elec- tions. Each candidate gave a speech and usually had some sort of funny skit. The last night there was a talent show and dance. Entertainment ranged from piano solos to the ‘‘Saturday Night Live” skit featuring Gilda Radner and the coneheads. This plus the dance ended a fun weekend for Beta members. 72 Beta NHS TOP LEFT — Karen Walker and Deborah Spurling goof-off before an assembly at the Beta Club Convention in Raleigh, N.C. begins.
