Striving for success, Z-club demands dedication Zip to the zoo, zip to the zye, zip to the zee with zeal ... Mow everyone must repeat this chant and bow when ordered to by an old Z-club member, commanded President Michelle Oliver to those new inductees on the dreadful day of initiation. Being informally initiated was a memorable experience for all new members. Junior Jill Mobley looked back on her experience and laughed. It was weird before, because I didnt know who was going to initiate me. I knew that if they didn t like me I was doomed, admitted Jill. Old Z-dubbers agreed ... about the fun part that is. Senior Martha Yar- brough was envious of the new induc¬ tees. We all had fun doing it, be¬ cause we didn ' t get to be informally initiated last year. Most of us would rather have had that instead of the formal banquet. Z-club, sponsored by the Zonta Clubs of America, was an active Ser¬ vice organization for academically- qualified females who displayed strong leadership qualities and were willing to work hard. Before being admitted to Z-club, candidates had to submit a written ap- plication which included three teach- er recommendations and had to maintain at least a 3.5 QPA. Applica¬ tions were thoroughly reviewed by dedicated sponsors Miss Mary Rounds and Miss Theresa Cannon be¬ fore new members were selected. Being an official Z-clubber called for a lot of time and dedication, for each member was required to serve ap- proximately 30% of the overall Z-club hours and attend all meetings, includ- ing the Zonta City Council meetings which were held on the first Monday of every month at the Motor Hotel. But this loyalty to the club paid off. The annual Sadie Hawkins dance and Singing Valentines were both suc- cesses thanks to Z-club. The hard work really showed up at Homecom- ing when members sold buttons at their booth in order to support our second annual Homecoming. In Octo¬ ber Z-clubbers worked all day at the annual Zonta Antique Show and again succeeded in providing an enjoyable atmosphere for everyone. Other Z-club projects included ba- bysitting for Stoner Hili children in April, painting faces at Holiday in Dix- ie, and donating toys at Christmas- time for needy children. Whatever the task, Z-clubbers worked hard and maintained their reputation as one of the most loyal Service organizations on campus. Z-club means pride, and dedicated Z-clubbers include: (seated) Tracy Widiger, Lisa Pigman, Felica Williams, Jennifer Rowe, Judy Chen, Ka- jal Mehta, Shatarshea Anderson, Laveme fer- dinard, Elizabeth Lawrence, Monica Viso, (left to right) Miss Theresa Cannon, Jennifer Green- field.
