A Piece cf Art The only prerequisite to join the Art Club was a vivid imag- ination and a passion for art. The Art Club dabbled in many aspects of art, a few being clay sculptures, watercolor painting, and wire sculptures. Art work evolved from the hands of the art students and was displayed in different areas of the school. The Library displayed pencil sketches of reflective ob- jects and clay sculptures. The Art Club made lively pep posters for Homecoming week and other school occasions which were dis- played in the Avenue of Knowl- edge. They also made colorful banners for assemblies and school dances. Being a very school-spirited group, they chose mainly blue and and white banners with such sayings as, Stomp the Tigers and Raid the Raiders. Mr. Ford, advisor to the Art Club said, We work on art proj- ects that are school oriented. We just have fun on Thursdays mak- ing art together. This was Mr. Ford ' s first year back after a year long absence. The Art Club met every other Thursday to work on various projects or to think up new ones. They had many creative ideas such as turning a lump of clay into Papa Smurfs house or mak- ing an abstract head. ART CLUB: Betts.

Busy Business! If Business Law, typing, shorthand, word processing, and spelhng bee ' s sounded like tun, theti Future Business Leaders of America would have been the club to join. The FBLA, which was ad- vised by Ms. Young and Mrs. Mendoza, held various fun- draisers throughout the year. They held a bake sale and sold personalized mirrors. All to- gether the club raised Si 50 from the bake sales alone. They are doing a fine job of raising money together, said Mrs. Mendoza about the club ' s progress. Doing projects together was another goal of the Future Business Leaders. Business students group together to learn more about business, said Junior Nicole Gager. Leadership and the sharpen- ing of skills was another im- portant goal of the FBLA. Stu- dents would make progress in their business careers. Sharp skills also would result and help them to do a good job in later life. Busy was definitely the right word to describe the group. FBLA: Front Row.

Eack Tc Easics Man) students trit-d the college bound or vocational graduation programs. When it came right down to it, everyone had to meet the same requirements. To graduate, students needed three years of social studies, two years of physical education, two years of math, three years of Eng- lish, one year of science, and a half year ot health. The Social Studies credits were filled by- taking geogra- phy World History, U.S. History and, U.S. Government in the sophomore, junior, and senior years, respectively. Physical Education require- ments were filled by taking two years of marching band, P.E., or ROTC. A combination of any of these courses could be used to fill the requirements. Many students went beyond the two years of math and took Al- gebra II or trigonometry. In most cases, science credits had already been filled before sophomores had entered the high school. Courses in natural sci- ences, physical and chemical sci- ences could be taken as electives. To fill English credits, courses in English I and English II were required, but creative writing, science fiction, multi media, Eng- lish III, rhetoric, Bible study, nov- els, or speed reading were avail- able to fill the final credit. A half year of health taken in the senior year was the final re- quirement. Students who fulfilled these re- quirements by the end of their senior year, found themselves holding a graduation diploma. t fp Miliie Sprague tries to help O. J. Sanchez complete his assignment.
