Gladly accepting their 2nd in the nation award from a national officer was the Coolidge Parlia- mentary Team coolidge fbla conquers nationalfoes Rain, wind go away, do not bother the FBLA? Al- though plagued by bad weather on many occasions, the FBLA strived and conquered all foes including those of hurricane winds and torrents of rain. After winning the State Parliamentary Procedure Event last April, team members John Masters, TerriPlatt, Glenn Lane, Deanna Wuertz 4State Vice-Presidentj, and Suzanne Simmons plus State President Mark Hanna and State Miss FBLA Julie Rotz all traveled to the exciting Miami Beach for the FBLA National Leadership Con- ference. And there, for the second time in a row, the Cool- idge Parliamentary Procedure team placed second in the nation in their honored event. Beginning in September, FBLA'ers once again paced forthward for a busy year. For fund raising activities, the club members sold placemats around the town, held a Mystery Disc Jockey Dance, operated the Basketball snack bar in cooperation with the Mexican-American Culture Club, sponsored the 4th annual Dime-A-Dip Dinner, and the 3rd annual Ice Cream Social in the halls of good ole CUHS. In an effort of good will, FBLA'ers collected various gifts and foods in a Christmas basket in order to give a needy family a merrier Christmas. Other conscientious club members colorfully splashed trash cans with paint to alert the students of their availability. Just for fun FBLA'ers held a bike ride and a membership party, and although the weather was against them, they still managed to stir up quite a storm. Field trips were also exciting episodes in the lives of these energetic members as they toured four diverse variations of businesses. But as always, the main attraction fState Convention?j did come along in April and Coolidge was there creating a big scene. Hardworking officers, members, and sponsors created this club this year. CUHS clubs may come and go, but '72 FBLA sure showed them the way.

In fact the increase in size made it imperative for the club to purchase several new white pendants which are worn by members of the club at graduation exercise. The club's desire for improvementintheir school and com- munity led them into various areas of interest. NHS Citizen of the Month was re-instituted to honor those students of the school who worked hard in school projects but never received the limelight. A major activity of the year was the club's participa- tion in the annual Heart Fund Drive which helped the Heart Association fight heart disease. The main project for the NHS was a tutoring service for those Freshmen and Sophomores who were having difficulty in their studies. The Science Club at CUHS started a year of activities last fall with their annual initiation and orientation held at Picacho Peak. As the year progressed, they continued with the activity trend. The Christmas atmosphere affected the members as they helped with the annual Christmas Drive at CUHS. The biggest project for the club was the overnight trip to the Grand Canyon, where the members engaged in learning more about the natural wonders of the Canyon. Science Club members showed, with their interest in to- day's changing scientific world, a concern for the future and the importance of a scientific approach to modern problems.
